Declined offer when lower wage was given on the offer letter

You didn’t say all that now. I think i might have to fall in line with the others here. Give it a chance. Fedex is a big company. Dude might have just mis-spoke.

In any case over $20/hr for a newbie is #### good money & you’d be a fool to walk away from it. Lol. Unless you know where you can do better.

 

You decide. I'm sure they will hire you later with even more experience if you ever decide to try again. I get so tired off all the ads for drivers listing their pay as "Up To X CPM" or "Competitive Pay". Why even bother posting that? Is the potential employee supposed to be impressed that your theoretical pay is nearly the same as other theoretical pay plans? We all know it means "look at this shiny thing over here and maybe you won't notice we're going to pay as little as possible." No details, no reply. Every job offers "the freedom of the open road, even the ones in downtown Boston or Chicago. Every job has great pay and great home time. Eventually they'll be paying for us to stay home, I guess. But they will give you the respect you deserve, so that's something, right?

 

Take the job...for now. It sounds like an honest mistake but if it wasn't you'll know soon enough.
If it turns out that you don't like the job and don't want to stay, just head on out.
You won't be hurting them any...there's probably ten more guys in the manager's file that he can call to replace you.

 

Looks like the mistake is about $200 a week in paycheck. I hope they have some $$$ sign-on bonus to offset the misquote.

 

It would be on a 88 hour week

 

FXF is a good company. If they are willing to hire you without experience go for it. Probably an honest mistake.
Once at top pay you’ll be glad you took this job.

 

I'm with FedEx Freight and everybody gets paid the same across the board based on their years of service. The 30 year veteran that is just starting with the company starts at the same wage with the guy that just got out of the apprenticeship program, and both most likely will work the dock at most locations. I know those guys are overworked and mistakes happen.... a lot. I almost never defend trucking companies for obvious reasons, but I think he misspoke and wasn't trying to rob you. There's no incentive or kickback for him or anyone else to do so at FXF. Any other company? Absolutely run.

 

Sounds just like Ups Both companies have the numbers burned into their head. Dont be fooled, both companies have severe issues with half truths. Yes ive worked for both.

 

I say, "Trust your instincts". If you are already feeling things are not as they should be, you a probably right.
