fedex custom critical

If $1000 is causing you to "lose" everything, you might want to try doing something else. I'm assuming your a contractor and not a company driver. Might be time to go back to being an employee.

 

R u solo r team wg r not

 

…and they shipped him too!

 

Wow! I can only imagine what this guys paperwork looks like!

 

I worked for Custom Critical a few years ago and I honestly thought it was good..... Until the honeymoon ended. Monday- no freight
Tuesday- same
Wednesday- same
Thursday- Load up in Illinois going to NYC or surrounding areas and deliver on Friday or Monday normally at rush hour.

Sit, wait, repeat or load on Wednesday about 17:00 after 100-275 mile dead head. Drive straight to Laredo TX and then wait down there for days on end. Repeat.
So anyways it was impossible for a team to survive on the miles, went solo and basically ran back and forth from some god awful place on the East coast to NYC or Jersey, sit and wait more.
Always live load, always live off load. Wasted many unpaid hours at docks, truck stops waiting for next load.

That's just my experience and a free of my friends that signed on there as well. We all left because we all were going broke. Not from the lack of trying to work. I never refused a load.

Maybe others have better luck but I would never go back and definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone

 

I have a question when did you work for FedEx cc I'm here with my fiancee and the loadboard has changed and it's not as easy to get a load.. it used to be if you see a load on the board you picked it your ready to run, now it's a in que thing if 5 drivers are in that area the 1st driver gets that load they are working now the others have to wait there turn for a load.. was it like this when you worked for FedEx cc The board was changed b/c of complaining not fair what can we do about it drivers are not happy, about this new change....

 

That post is 20 months old. I can tell you that working as a contractor in a niche sector of trucking will most likely mean feast or famine.
I know of people leaving Fed Ex or Panther to go to Landstar & having a better experience right off the bat because your success is based on networking & performance , not on when you empty .
First in, First out seems fair, but they are actually leveling the field & revenue per truck, instead of rewarding the go getters who plan ahead.
I don't work for Landstar, I just used them as an example. If your not happy you might have to pull the trigger & move to a carrier that allows you to have more control over your revenue stream.
