FedEx Freight | John Smith - Welcome to FY24 - Video

[truckingBORED]

As far as I know, FXF Canada is contract drivers. The tractors are all branded just like company trucks, but they're all independently owned.

Not sure if that means anything for us, but it's an observation I've made.

Amazon is trying that in the domestic US with the branded tractors.

They must be safer, since they are governed.

Are Freight DDIs training drivers for Ground contractors?

Freight next?

 

[Diggger86]

Doubt it anytime soon. A lot of new tractors and trailers have been purchased. Was at the RKI hub the other night and they have a few brand new pups with heaters and lift gates. Kind of odd.

Heaters?

Unlikely. But then again, NEVER say never with this "enterprise". (Cleaned it up a bit)

Yeah, they’ll show up in their ribbed tank tops, basketball shorts and a pair of slides. Place will look and smell like a truck stop in no time.

Seems to me ground is getting their ass kicked with the contractor concept? Who knows all I hear is people bitch bitch bitch about the service they get from them. Makes sense as a paid contracted driver isn’t going to care. I think ground will continue to get worse and worse. Maybe fedex doesn’t care . World is a big damn place so there will always be a piece of the pie available.

Heaters?

FXF has a Sherwin Williams acct in the Harrisburg, Pa area. They require protect from freeze from Oct till March. I know that FXF was "borrowing" some of Sherwins heaters. Maybe for them?

I didn’t think you could haul hazmat in a heated trailer?

They were training Express drivers for doubles. All 2 of em that's gonna be left.

Most of their paint is not classed as Flammable.

 

[Triplex]

I didn’t think you could haul hazmat in a heated trailer?

Yes you can. There are certain conditions which specify the type of heater and various other requirements about fuel, temperature, etc.

Makes sense since latex paint (water based) is freezable.

 

[Diggger86]

Makes sense with the Sherwin Williams. I see guys using leased 53’ trailers with heaters in the winter. Maybe they don’t want to pay to lease anymore and just bought a few.
