FedEx Freight | Should I feel guilty?

how about when the #1 bid guy on the shortest shuttle bumps up for the night and they cancel #7 to cover the number one spot and then he double turns to get his freight for the # 7 spot
 
I didn`t know everybody was getting screwing over by central guess its cheaper to give miles to jr drivers who won`t deck trailer anyway
 
Shouldn't have to man... That's why it's called seniority... The only people who have a problem with seniority is those without any.


Not in this case. Sounds like the guys with seniority has the red ass. I say do what you think is right. We have guys with 600+ runs and still take the weekend runs from guys starving at the bottom.

I am a seniority guy, Even though I think it's pretty bad when a 600 mph bid man has to take a Saturday run it is still his right to do it if he has the fuzz.
 
Seniority gives you the chance to bid first, get vacation first, and keep your job in a layoff. But I think everyone should get to work. Saturday runs are extra and not taking anything away from the senior guys. Our bottom guys are running 1 or 2 times a week. The worst part is coming in on Saturday morning and watching the city guys run the "turn runs" that could be done at anytime on Saturday. Then you drive around the corner and see 10 to 15 sets hooked for "power only" to take. Then you know there will be no work till Wed. if your lucky. It's just hard to believe that the guys who had to go thru this when they started linehaul would want to see another driver struggle to make a pay check. I thank heaven for our bottom guys. They are the ones who look out for eachother. Asking if the guys under them have run this week and if they have'nt they will pass to let us out. Times are tough and a little compation could be the difference between a guy keeping his sanity or needing one of those jackets that buckle in the back.:1sm364jumpbed: All you guys with "strap" have two ways to use it. Beat the bottom guys with it to keep them down or let them grab ahold of it to help them out. I know what I would do.
 
Last I checked, the reason i come to work is to earn a living, not
make friends. That being said, if I am getting mine, then I see no reason to take it all .
 
Finally!!!!! Someone sees the REAL picture. They want people to get PO'd and quit, rather than buy out people to quit. A LOT CHEAPER for FREDEX!!!!

First thing that you ever said that made real good sense.....don't forget starving out...AKA the chicken **** way...POOF :)
