FedEx really utilizes the hub and spoke model, so hubs are designed for everyone from around the region to arrive around the same time, which means freight for your barn is arriving at the same time as you, mixed in trailers that need to be unloaded.
From what I can tell about OD, they stagger their runs throughout the day, so when you get to your destination they should have your return trailers ready to go. Your run could start at 2pm or midnight vs FxF where it probably starts between 8 and 9pm.Gearjammin' Penguin, MACK E-6, Mike2633 and 1 other person Thank this. -

These are sleeper teams and we run all over the country, my route mostly pulls 53’s from railyards to UPS hubs and vice versa. We do a 4 day 4800 mile route that pays around 145K per driver per year at top rate.Last edited: Sep 7, 2022

Like these hubs are letting guys get 3 days off.. bs. If you have a 4 day run you’re not making 145k
Yeah the big 6k mile runs get 150k or more and there’s how many of those per hub ? Not many and Theyre gone on the first day of bidding so you need what 30 years of seniority or a friend with that -

Even so , as good as it looks on paper don’t let these guys fool you. It’s not that great of an existence
