FedEx Freight

Greetings all. I’ve been driving OTR for quite some time and have contemplated moving back closer to my parents now that they’re getting older.

I’m basically interested in LTL nowadays, and the only LTL company in Southwestern Missouri that says they will be hiring in the foreseeable future is FedEx Freight. They said a couple months when I spoke to them.

My question is, (from a driver standpoint) how is it there? Is it mainly dock work until driving positions open? Is it road work or P&D or a combo of both? Just trying to see if I should hang on to my driving gig now and wait for other LTL companies to start hiring or possibly apply to FedEx when it comes open.

Thanks.

 

Ok. How many runs are generally available? Being someone with no seniority does that go by whatever run is left for the day or is it a wild board that the new guys pick from?

Are miles generally consistent?

 

Fair enough. I’ve never done LTL before and there are definitely some differences between that and OTR and a lot that I’m sure I’m unaware of.

Appreciate the replies so far.

 

I paid my dues here and it is difficult to start over but I completely understand that part of it.

Thanks again.

 

So is city essentially considered P&D? And Linehaul does the turns/bumps (the folks that meet another driver from another hub)?
