There’s something else about FedEx that bears mentioning.
They have some kind of screwball policy about the 30 minute break. For city drivers they want it done between the 3rd and 5th hours.
ABF or FedEx Freight

I know in Denver on linehaul at FXF you better be out before or on time with your gate or better be in the shop or management will be calling you asking you what’s going on.

The reason FX does this is because many states and locales have different break laws for drivers that don't cross interstate and this is in place to blanket the country's compliance with break periods. California, Washington and Oregon have policy specific break period mandates but I don't know what they are.Last edited: Jan 29, 2019

Chicagoland sucks for new road drivers because there’s 3 large hubs all within 40 miles of each other. So you usually end up with a 10-60 mile one way drive then work the dock for 4-5 hours and your short drive back to your service center. You can luck out and fall into a decent bid but it’s not the norm. You just gotta put some time in to move up in seniority. They are typically needing drivers but it’s hard to find experienced drivers to fill those very short runs. Out of my service center we can’t keep anyone on the shortest run we have. It’s been pretty much open for a year now.
