Fedex Freight, I recommend them even if you are a newer driver.

    Down here in the east I havent heard anything bad from em.. Ups freight from my experience was the worst job ive ever had in my life..... I was number 52 and number 51 was in the company already for 3 years going onto 4..... Think about it... How many people went in to that terminal and said eeeehhhh.. Not for me.. BYE!!! Lol dispatch was horrible.. Managers would stab you in the back ALL DAY! Im all set lol

    Sure you're not thinking of ground?

    Fedex freight trucks have been at ~65mph for a while now .

    Fedex ground on the other hand is 100% owner operator fleets that hire their own drivers . I personally know of a fleet that will take team drivers with 3 months experience and give them an ungoverned truck pulling doubles .

    When i worked there i was with guys that worked there for 15 years plus and all they talked was bad about the company.. Killing the managers with kindness everyday, Lying about what doesn’t fit in their trailer all because they knew the union would cover them.. The benefits were great and im 90% sure they stayed for the pension lol

    Funny, after more than a decade, during which I've blinked a whole lot of times, I have yet to be replaced. Maybe that's because I do my job right, do what needs to be done without whining, and don't go around wrecking things?
