Message:: [QUOTE="jmz, post: 12110224, member: 213084"]I think in general FedEx is more organized than Estes because FedEx has figured out how to move all of our freight without running drivers wild and racking up hotel costs like Estes drivers. FedEx works on precise schedules and timing, which is great when things go as planned, but it's annoying when something screws up the timing and cascades into making people wait. From what I can tell, a lot of the complaints at FxF is due to either poor local management or going into the job without a clear understanding of how much (if any) dock work you will be required to do, or even how much sitting at home unpaid will be expected of you. And all of that varies by location, so it's hard to get a feel for the job until you try it or you talk to people who work at the barn you want to work at. I love my job but I recognize that I got lucky and I'll always recommend Old Dominion over FedEx Freight, unless I know that the person would be working out of a decent FxF barn.[/QUOTE]
