Just had to show this. I tried everything to communicate to the driver that he had a big effin chain dragging between the pups. Little sparks cause big fires. Worse case scenario, fire or; the chain gets caught and the trailer flips.

Their everywhere, lack of experience or to big of a hurry trying to beat the clock.
iceman32 Thanks this. -
I know right? Oppressive time policies, cheap contractors and even cheaper drivers in a poor effort to compete with Brown....which they will never do.
Brown earned his spot at the top of the heap and you can't knock him off with cheap pony tricks.

Cheap owners, can tell you that for a fact. some of these guys push their drivers hard to get it done.
iceman32 Thanks this. -
Missed my point Ridgeline....a contractor is cheaper than a employee so there's less in the pot and then the contract driver is undercut from that.
It wasn't long ago I read a FedEx contract ad in Houston. .32 for pups.....1099 also...mandatory. Heck of a deal...... -
FedEx ground pays no benefits, no fuel, no maintenance on tractor. They only service their trailers. Pay and benefits up to the contractors not out of FXG pocket. Contractor gets a flat rate cpm & fuel surcharge to disperse among himself and employees. 7yrs ago it was .98 cpm for tractor maybe over a dollar by a hair. Why contractors can only pay so much to make a profit. Why the whip is always cracking by the contractors.
Contractor = cheap labor vs company driverLast edited: Apr 11, 2017

Not sure but it doesn't look like a ground trailer, unless it's an old trailer, tail lights are different. Could be fedex fright which are employees. Could be wrong though can't see the decals.
Radman Thanks this. -
