The article says that FedEx will cut 1000 management type jobs worldwide from all divisions
This should be good news for drivers (both road and city) at FedEx Freight.
We are going to have to get by with less bosses and supervisors until, the economy says that we can rehire them again.

Wow River, how will we ever survive with less redshirts, please tell me it aint so.:biglaugh:
 
Well , Now stop and think a minute ....How many Red Shirts do you see walking around holding a clipboard doing NOTHING ? How many stnd on the ramp smoking cigs and drinking coffee ? How much money can Fedex save by doing away with this ?

It's about time Fedex figured this out.:duh:
 
It only mentions Express & Freight. I guess Ground & National don't have enough people looking over their shoulders.
 
Mass layoffs continue. FedEx Corp. said Thursday it's planning an undisclosed number of job cuts as the company reported its fiscal third-quarter profit dropped 75 percent amid severe weakness in the global economy. The Memphis, Tenn.-based company, often seen as a bellwether for the U.S. economy, also plans to scale back some workers' hours and wages.

This is a paragraph out of the msnbc article I posted.

Technicaly, as far as the latest quarterly numbers released, freight includes national, freight and custom critical. In this discusion, they're speaking of the freight division.

As for Ground... NO they are not effected. They did quite well over there with a 89.xx operating ratio.

Personally, I would not go around quoting anything said or posted on MSNBC.
This thread was considering an article on Silicon Valley Business Journal that stated the following:
"The company expects to eliminate about 1,000 salaried exempt positions across all FedEx companies," said FedEx spokesman Maury Lane.
So unless you are a red shirt you don't have to sweat it.

exactly what does this mean? " reduce network capacity " Does it mean take more equipment out of service? Or something more sinister? It almost sounds like an oxymoron. You would think we would want to be at maximun capacity.

It could mean tha FedEx is not going to haul cheap freight.
Let others haul the cheap freight and go out of business in order to reduce
capacity.

I check out trucking boards almost daily, just to see whats new out there. As you can probably see by my status, I hardly ever post or respond to other post. However I felt compelled to voice my thoughts on the responses that are being left on this particular thread. I could not in all sincerity be glad that anyone is getting laid off ( be it a red shirt or driver). I dont know what barns these gleefull drivers are from, and what kind of sup's you have, but my experience at my barn (Toledo,Ohio) is that we have a good group of redshirts, that I'd stand behind anyday. Don't wish upon anyone what you wouldn't wish upon yourself.

I would be willing to bet that it means more purchase vans Before you know it purchase drivers will be required to work the dock at the hubs
