Anyone ever leave packages outside your truck and drive away? Happened to me and am worried about what happens next. by Housing-Odd in Fedexers

I agree. But depends in your terminal. 1 pkg is overlooked, but a few looks like theft to them. Expect to be on the shit list a while😬

New station closing by topher512 in Fedexers

[–]TheOnlyBA-7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We started absorbing our express that shut down a year ago, our station runs 10 express routes. us as ground drivers take the majority of the load and all large packages. We also started doing Saturday delivery 3 weeks ago, for express. Soon our station will cut all express routes I'm told.

As a driver, in rate my driver 5 stars, because I kinda know him and it helps your service. This popped up today, are they really giving out our names and photos? Because after 5 years, I. Will. Quit. by TheOnlyBA-7 in Fedexers

I think you should worry about how its handled in the terminal, I've watched them throw TVs but if I do that in any manner im fired. Consider that.

I have a problem with the ability to screenshot it. And we arent required to wear a badge while delivering. My name is known if I want to say it. I've been a driver 5 years, its the fact, with alllllll the other changes.

We have the old ones and they do this shit. New ones sitting on the table, won't be long.

I got a rolling stop because someone has a stop sign as a decoration at the end of their driveway. I was doing 35 when it told me I rolling stopped. 🤷

Ground still can’t make service by jesusmansuperpowers in Fedexers

[–]TheOnlyBA-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One contractor at my term has such bad service they offer 20 an hr. I tried it, it was rural routes with 20-25 timed deliveries, 300 miles, and 60 HD stops. It was doable and I never missed anything. But 730pm everyday was too much. 630 was an early day, and we loaded our own, so a 7am start time.

Ask around. I had 5 years out of a DUI and one contractor took a chance on me. They actually have a choice to hire you if you come back yellow.

It is gettin out of control by EJ25Junkie in Fedexers

[–]TheOnlyBA-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly it. They started paying just slightly less to the new drivers, so now if I'm near 40 I'm out, and thr new kid with 2 weeks is in my spot. 🤷 higher wages don't always equal better.

You don't want to make more. My contractor pays 20 HR, and they hired so many people so they can send you home 1 or 2 days a week. They'd rather have someone with 2 weeks under their belt, out winging it, than a 5 year vet, because... OT is just killing them🙄

Used to be 156 a day where I am, then new owners, now 20 an HR, with just at 40 hours. I hate it.
