Finally got an interview with Fedex freight

The dream castle ones?

 

Stop passing up other jobs. Take a good one that comes along, but don't stop trying to get where you want. This will allow you to have a decent income while you wait for their long hiring process to be completed.

You never know... you just might stumble into a great position that you don't want to leave.

 

Making a joke - well not really. I've yet to find a valid number to their safety department. Ever.

 

FedEx Freight linehaul is alot of dockwork. When I was there, bottom men were driving 40 minutes to the nearest break, working the dock 8 hours, and then driving 40 minutes back to the home 20.

Even higher seniority runs were working the dock.

If you don't mind the dock its not so bad. If you like driving tho, I'd look elsewhere. I've heard that XPO runs their linehaul similar.

 

32 an hour and be home would be "why not".

 

Depends on terminal area. Our shortest run is 240 miles round trip and even if you only worked the dock for 2 hours you would still make about 80k, most guys stay do 3-4 hours on that run

 

I used to think that way…until I got on a run with paid delay time instead of dock work.
