What's new

FedEx Freight | 1000 jobs cut

cargo like that, shouldn't they be using decking? at least some cardboard dunnage to double stack it..........way cool graphic
 
Express and Freight are the ones not making the numbers. National, well I will not go there. Ground is running at around 37 I heard (63% OR)
 
If you counted to a Trillion by using one digit per second 24 hours a day.....It would take you 31688 years, 32 days, 1hour, 46 minutes, 40 seconds.

Make sure you punch out first.

The 90% tax is for those that take bonuses from companies that have been bailed out with our tax dollars. Failing companies shouldn't be paying bonuses, spending millions on a new jet or new offices for top executives.
What we are going through has been building for a long time not just last 9 weeks.

That's correct. The country's economy was in freefall before W left office. I may not agree with the way Obama's administration has handled this situation, but they are not completely responsible for the condition of our economy. Unfortunately, they do have to try to clean up the mess while people are busy blaming them for it.

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 ?

Well Wolfie let me just take a stand for the red shirts for aminute, your statement is very true, but you also just described some of the drivers we have working for the company, (minus the clipboard!)

They already reduced FREIGHT a lot. NATIONAL will be merged with us within months. The longer freight is slow the quicker the merger will be. It is the only move that makes sense.
 
ok who is gonna give you your door assignments now?well i guess they could always go work at the local motel and be a checkin clerk there.

This is just my opinion. I don't think FXN will ever be merged with FXF. I get why most think FXN would become FXF but I don't agree.
FXF is sold as a product to our customers with faster service times at a higher cost. FXN is sold as a lower cost product where service times are not so critical. WE have customers in our region that use both. Our city drivers (FXF) pickup for both companies, then we ship it to a cross over point.
If FXN became FXF we would loose a valuable product line and that part of the market share.

Through the years FedEx has tweaked and tuned our service to provide faster and then again faster service. Guaranteed, Expedited and AM services.

How hard would it be to slow down part of our service to provide another "product"?

They've already combined the sales part of the operations. Only a matter of time.........
 
I know its part of the old rumor mill, but ive heard from quite a few meet drivers that FXF & FXN are going to merge sooner than later. my question is how, watkins co seniority? then what, were going to use their contracted OTR drivers to haul our freight?
Why is it that rumors are never good ones? Ive worked here(americam/fxf) a long time, can someone please start a rumor that will make me feel good & secure in my job.

It would be QUITE DIFFICULT to run different transit times under one system. I would think chaos would be a good description.

Sales it a totaly different deal, they can sell different products all day long, not a big deal.

Now, they could combine some facilities, where they have the room, but each opperation would most certainly be kept seperate.

I don't believe they will merge our boards. I think it will be a facilities merger, that is NATIONAL will move into FREIGHT facilities where possible and the service standard from FREIGHT will apply to all destinations currently served in 2 days or less. NATIONAL service standards will apply on 3 or more days origin to destination. Just an opinion.

I would not think that any of your meet drivers have any inside information and would know anything about any mergers of FXF and FNL.
