At are terminal we don't even get delay pay our road closure pay. We are lucky if we get are breakdown pay. I have a feeling that will have to change in the future. Every line haul driver I have talk to is fed up with it. How can a company have a 82 operating ratio and have drivers work for free.
 
lol, thats why they have an 82 operating ratio, no delay pay, no hourly line haul, no breakdown pay, no overtime, etc. but you know what they say, don't like it? go somewhere else
The management knows they can offset that by sending the employee a hand signed birthday card every year....

They better take a serious look at delay pay breakdown pay drop and hook pay and pay for fuelling, just take a look at fedex and conway. Look at the problems they caused for the company just because they ::shit:: on the employees hope it dont start here, but if they continue to screw us out of money anything can happen.
 
If you have any delay after 2 hour's make note and see or call your Linehaul manager to takecare of it.If they will not credit you then you need to take it up with Corp.

I have been at Fedex for 18 years,and I would say our problems are minimal. We have always got time and a half,and all of the other things people say they aren't getting at OD. We did get a new CEO,that has helped a lot.
 
When I was running LH I got delay pay. I would call Linehaul manager next day and tell him him how many hours and bam it was on next check. If I remember correctly it was after 2 hrs coming off 10 sitting at hotel.
That is considered extended layover pay. Never had to claim that load always ready after 10 hours.
 
You are able to be paid both delay and breakdown pay, it just isn't as much as we want it to be. It begins after a 2 hour delay in most cases. Breakdown pay begins when you call road rescue. In the North East it is $8.00 an hour starting at the end of 2014 I believe. Before that it amounted to only like $4-5 hour. I was paid this for time spent sitting in traffic this month. If you don't know the policy ask management, if you are not satisfied with their answer you are always welcome to call your VP. Our VP's are for the most part good people that will answer your questions or return your call with no problem. Sometimes management needs updated on current policies : )
