FedEx Freight | New City driver's point of view

Fedex Freight introduced me to the trucking industry when I was first granted permit to work in the UNTIED STATES. All I wanted was a job. And they gave me a job. I went through the driver's development program about 13years ago and was given the CDL that would have cost me thousands of dollars if I had gone to school to get it. But being that my status in the US was not that of a citizen or permanent residence, I couldn't obtain my Hazmat endorsement. After a yr or so working the dock and using the hustler, FedEx had to make a division. And I perfectly understood. Left with a CDL. Long story short, was out of the country for about 6years due to my immigration status. Came back 3yrs ago, called FedEx and they promise to bring me back on board after at least one year experience. Sure enough, they delivered on their promise. So to me, and as far as working is concern, FedEx freight is the place to be. No company is perfect as far as humans are in charge. I am elated to be back to the very place it all started. Who knows, I may just retired here. Speaking of stocks, employees are allowed to buy stocks at employee rate. Don't quote me on that but I bought and a little % of my income goes towards it. Hourly rate is location based. Those up North makes more than those down South. Yes, senior city goes bottom road. I am at the city bottom and I delight in the bumping around, delivering the purple promise. My motto is, if FedEx need it done,I make it happen. Isn't that why they pay us in the first place? I make myself useful in whatever capacity I am needed and it is paying off. I get road runs people who have been there for years may not get. Employers know how to run this show without rufffing the feathers of the senior guys.

Well said. Sadly, there’s to many drivers here that’s forgotten what it’s like to work somewhere else...not sayin FXFE is perfect by any means but it sure beats where I came from, 23 years ago!!

Also if you apply for a city driver position are you just gonna be a extra driver/dockworker in reality

I don’t think there is any center that would bring you in and give you a prime time route as a new hire.
Count on that paid workout and table scraps.
And if you drive my truck, take your damned greasy gloves off before you open the door and get in.
