FedEx Freight | Disgusted at Fedex and their bills per hour system.

You guys have to figure out how to work the system. Anytime you have a bill that has to be scanned to the bay, always scan it to a loading trailer first. Force scan it to a trailer then bay it up. You get credit for the load even though you bayed it up.
 
The guy who actually has to do the work gets zero credit. Nice. I loved working with guys like you.
 
Are you insane. I work the dock at CGT at least 20 hrs a week. Have you ever seen an atl trailer,NHS,or Dallas. Remember this CGT does not have origin freight. We ar economy Hub so therefore we receive damaged freight from origin and spend half the shift dealing with OSD and recouping freight. Please if you want to respond say something you have knowledge of.
CGT is probably responsible for most of the damages in the system.
 
how the heck do you get 12 bph?!! I'm lucky to get six. If we would all slow down, say to 7 or 8, maybe then they would expect that... I will never do 12 bph. Are you at top scale, or do you do everything compliant, both on the dock and the city/road? They hate that, this is why they keep hiring off the street, heaven forbid they hire experienced workers- they might tell them how to do their job...

well that's it misfit!...and i've been preaching it in meetings for yrs. If they would go back to making the majority of the dock positions full-time like they use to when it was a.f..i guarantee damages will drop. Let me break down the theory of the hypothesis of the whatchamacallit prognosis.
-a full time docker wouldn't most likely have a second job....right!?
-therefore they'd realize that being full time and working 5 days a week would be a valuble option to bringing the bread & butter to a decent living household...and not take their position/full time status for granted...right!?
-therefore they would most likely take pride, slowly & carefully think out situations, and utilize their resources at work for a successful outcome...right!?
-you see where i'm getting at...right!?
My thoughts are bring back full time dock positions and u will see damages decline, load avgs up, these employees would not most likely take their jobs for granted, u may even get re-weigh tickets from these employees like we use to yrs ago when the customer would try to cheat us on the weight of a shipment at pickup but re-weigh it at the customer center. My point is if the company stops hiring these part time hotrod fork jeep driving kids or these home for the summer from college kids then maybe we'd get somewhere. When they implemented this bph crap, in my opinion, they created a even more hostile hotrod rush environment on the dock resulting in damages increasing. Think about it......
 
I don't even know where to begin? If you didn't want to be a dockworker you should get out of LTL. Fedex has a system. ME ME ME ME ME ME and f u to the driver/dock/hostler slave. Do what our told when your told and how your told. And when you get it right we'll change it to make you wrong again. Of course with 0 notice. Got a love my job. I should be lucky to have one. At least that is what they tell me. Sorry, gotta go get some more koolaid now. I'm starting to have an independent thought.....arrrrrrrgggghhhh

Goda, quit holding back; you're just stressing yourself out by doing so. Kindly tell us how you really feel next time.

Evidently the guy in the cubicle said that the cost of benefits was greater than the cost of damaged freight.

Another example of the guy in the cubicle not seeing the "Big Picture". All he sees is the numbers he's been told to watch.
All he sees is the cost of the freight on the claims reports.

He's not seeing the time wasted on the dock recouping the damged shipment.
The time spent by the driver at the customer's dock dealing with the pissed off customer.
The time the driver spends on the phone dealing with billing clerk calling in for exception number.
The time spent by driver working around the freight the rest of the day if/when it's refused.
Lost business from shippers and consignees because they're tired of dealing with a company that damages so many shipments.

Just like the force loading in the morning. All they see is time saved on the dock numbers. They don't see the time wasted on the street
because a driver has to move four skids to get to the one that needs to come off the trailer.
 
We never were told about BPH spreadsheets until Chris Keylon came over here, some of our runs are 400 mile daily trips with 5 deliveries and 2 picks over 12 hours of only two lane roads due to being national accounts, those drivers are actually being told to "step it up" Others who do 100 miles, 20 stops, 20 picks, and are the biggest idiots are being treated like royalty.......see, it's not just you guys getting the shaft
