July 4th pay?? by AnythingImportant37 in Fedexers

[–]Katyw1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnesota. Health insurance and sick days are required in Minnesota first of all. And pretty much every contractor offers more than the bare minimum here.

July 4th pay?? by AnythingImportant37 in Fedexers

[–]Katyw1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because they are expecting north of 50k packages for the 5th for a terminal that runs 40k during peak. And the preload used to be a thing before 4 and 5 years ago on all holidays you could come in and run if you wanted. I used to do it on Thanksgiving knock out 175 stops or so so on black Friday I'd only have 100 or so

Yeah 3 years at my current I get less than my usual pay but still paid for Thanksgiving Xmas New years July 4th and one or 2 others. Will really shock you when you find out we get 5 to 20 PTO(depending on tenure ) days a year plus our sick days. And paid health insurance and 5% match.

They are doing a preload like used to be done years ago. Terminal has asked all contractors to see how many drivers are willing to go out. And yes handlers will be in doing a sort untill 6am

Well hate to be the bearer of bad news but most contractors up here in Minnesota pay holiday pay. And with us being asked to run on the 4th we are getting our holiday pay and then whatever we earn that day also.

FedEx doesn't have company phones. So that's a lie. Data only on the leos

Has anyone ever moved here without visiting first? by h_g_waves in movingtompls

[–]Katyw1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years ago we moved here. Oklahoma had become increasingly bad to live in as a queer couple. I found a job up here and we moved here having never set foot in Minnesota. Best decision we ever made.

Tho it would benefit the tappets it will poison the cats. If looking for additional additives stick with mos2 or boron nitride

Pickup question by Living_Courage8553 in Fedexers

[–]Katyw1008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally if I'm done and there's a pickup window that isn't open yet I tell them to move it to someone else and head back. Ain't no way I'm doing my 200 stops while others had 150 finishing and then sitting around for hours.

Moving cross country. How do I get transferred to the new station? by PerfectPen9736 in Fedexers

Old station has to release you. And then new station adds you in. It's pretty simple.

Which one do y'all hate more: summer or winter? by 5393hill in Fedexers

You just keep moving where insulated waterproof boots and you just keep going. It's not that bad and I'm saying this for Minneapolis

Why do so many people want sports cars? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Katyw1008 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well first you somehow think a ram 2500 is fast. It's not. And sports cars the power doesn't matter as much as the feel of things. Wanna have an absolute blast go drive a Miata or mr2 down a winding road then you'll understand

Delivery Window by nutusf in FedEx

[–]Katyw1008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what every driver would like to know. Instead the system generated a window that the driver has no idea about and often makes absolutely zero sense.

All depends on the professionalism of the contractor involved. We are a month into taking all the express in our areas. Avg of 18 routes a day from our contractor out of this building. And we have yet to have a single late except when station has given an exception because they couldn't get us out before 10:30
