FedEx Freight Diary (ala Russian Rabbit)

Confirmed by upper management today.

 

Not happening any time soon.

 

This pay stub was a miserable week, mentally. Workwise, enjoyable. Just a mental drain. My run was cut 4 times this past week, 3 of which I ended up with a dock bid and lower miles, the 4th day no run at all and sat home, but I opted not to use personal time and took the hit. Still a better check than being in the city, and when you break it down for all hourly, task and mileage, the week ran at $1.05 per mile, compared to my highest grossing check year to date (not including the semi-annual bonus) ringing in at $0.91 per mile.

Yes, I'm a goober that likes to break my checks down to a per mile basis just for kicks.

 

I was pretty surprised when I heard that this was a thing, too. Myself and a couple others at my terminal are on the volunteer sheet for Ground runs if and when they are available to my center. From what my center manager tells us, we would bobtail to a Ground hub while hourly, punch out and then have central push linehaul runs to us like normal. Only downside to this, is not pulling my own dolly, which is almost brand new so I have to find a hiding spot in the yard to make sure a driver coming through on a via doesn't swap his dolly for mine.

I vaguely remember reading about UPSF pulling small pack trailers during peak. Am I right about that or am I losing my marbles?
