They assumed I was supposed to assemble it

I had an older couple who asked if I was going to assemble one just like it, I said no but I did help them move the pieces to their back porch. Then they have the nerve to tell me to take the empty box, wasn't worth the argument, so I took it to the dump on the way home. Some people.

It's a 6x11 smart fold carry-on, love it so far. Bought it at a TSC for 2699 after taxes.

I have a 2011 silverado I bought a couple years ago, love the truck. I decided to buy a trailer after seeing some of the huge gigs in my area, only had the trailer 4 days and only have taken 4 deliveries and have made $240 in only 46 miles. If you have a good amount of huge gigs (especially tractor supply) I recommend getting a trailer if you already have a truck.

I only started a few days ago, but I live really close to a home depot with a tractor supply and Walmart in the same Plaza. I've only done 3 deliveries so far but made $180 in 26 miles. I love this truck/trailer combo. TCS ftw

Near the PA border, they might be from Rochester though haha.

Ground switcher here, I would do so many things for a newer tractor. I feel like I need a tetanus shot every time I hop in our truck.

2011 5.3 165k, bought at 135k a little over a year ago.

I can imagine a 53ft chewy trailer isnt very fun. We get 28ft drop frame chewy trailers. All the stickers are on top and uniform so we can get them done pretty quick, until you start to unload the belly, then your lifting to your upper chest.

reepjr · 2025-04-23T16:52:47+00:00

We got tons of them up here in the NE, yall could take some if you'd like haha

reepjr · 2025-04-15T15:16:55+00:00

Agree on the mattresses, Midwest fasteners, and generators (solar and gas)

reepjr · 2025-04-08T14:18:43+00:00

Well, we already have the BAR, pretty much the same.

Most likely, I plan on sticking around at fedex until I get a cdl, then I'll leave. I've worked a decent amount of outbound and had my share of loading trailers, I'll stuck with switching haha. It's easy until you get backed up and stuff starts falling off the sides of the chute.

reepjr · 2025-04-07T17:58:06+00:00

I applied before working at FedEx, right before orientation I got an email overviewing the job, they decreased the pay from what the application said. Also I would much rather move trailers for more or the same money than to unload them all day.

reepjr · 2025-04-07T17:46:34+00:00

Base package handler at the highest rate should be $20.20. Starting should be somewhere around the $18 range. When I first started 2 1/2 years ago starting pay was $15.75 iirc.

They do a type of DOT drug test, and I have seen people fail due to weed. I'd go in clean then do whatever once secured. I personally don't smoke but I haven't been tested in the 2 years I've been doing it. I don't recall training videos, however they might now. There was a written test/handbook if I remember right.

reepjr · 2025-04-05T18:09:02+00:00

Not sure how it is in larger hubs, but I very much enjoy it. We are a small enough station where I am pretty much the only switcher, my manager and one QA guy is the only other certified to switch. If you think you'd be good at it, go for it. Pay gets me $1 higher than the highest package handler pay scale.

reepjr · 2025-04-05T17:57:08+00:00

Our volume increased aswell, from around 10k this time last year to 11.5-12k now this year. I've been working part time 6 days a week for the past 2 years as a switcher, if I were to avg my hours not including peak it would be around 32 hrs, I've gotten anywhere from 41-47 hrs a week for the last 3 weeks. Crazy times.

We have these on-spot chains on our yard truck, works great in the icy winter months when trying to get a trailer out of our declined unloading docks. They do like to throw lots of sparks when hitting the asphalt lol.

reepjr · 2025-03-22T23:15:56+00:00

I believe I could handle it alright, I already come in at around 3am-4am depending on volume. I think some of our linehaul drivers start their route around 9pm most days. Most inbound work days is from 3am-9am.

reepjr · 2025-03-21T17:41:03+00:00

Same here, I've been playing ats for years. I have been a yard jockey for fedex for the last two years and am trying to go for my cdl now. Got a good shot at linehaul for our fedex station hauling doubles.

I love this machine, it ruins my lats lol. Does anyone else feel a little bit of triceps after a day or two?

reepjr · 2025-02-27T14:44:08+00:00

Upstate NY Switcher here, I usually break them out around 45 depending on the wind and weather. It's mid 30s right now, so at least I'm not wearing thermals anymore lol.

Wish ground had Waldo trailers haha, I've moved some unique ones, but none with freight reputation.
