FedEx Ground Linehaul with JohnBoy

Good morning all. Sitting at the Dennys in Whiteland Indiana one exit south of the Greenwood hub. Got there last night after getting dispatched from Murfreesboro yesterday afternoon. Slept at the hub last night, got up early this morning and grabbed a shower. Checked in with Linehaul and was told they’re finishing up a sort that will send me back to Nashville then Murfreesboro. Should be dispatched by 10am. Life is good in the Linehaul business. Safe travels everyone!

 

There’s so much good with Linehaul. Hub to hub, no waiting to fuel at a truckstop. No worrying about parking, no paying for parking, and the biggest plus, no dealing with customers OR brokers. With FedEx, everything is done via the app, once a load assignment is put on you, you will get a phone call just to make sure you got it. Simply point A to point B. I thought I wouldn’t be able to change my mindset from chasing miles and being nickle and dimed, to simply driving my 11/14, which usually is 8/10, dropping my trailer (s) and calling it a day. My only regret? I didn’t make this change 10 years ago.

 

Douche bags are all over this industry. There’s a robust amount here. I had one tell me the other day that he doesn’t talk to any FedEx drivers. All I wanted to know was where the Linehaul office was at a hub that I visited for the first time.
