Does anyone know what is going on with linehaul reorganzing? I have heard that the bids that are supposed to start the 7/7/08 are being pushed back 3 weeks. This is being done to allow those who need to transfer/relocate to do so. Something about balancing out the hubs, as well as making the freight travel in a direct line. I'm told more purchase trailers will be used as well. Supposedly those affected will be a the larger hubs and larger end of line centers. Anyone got more info?
FedEx Freight | LineHaul Realignment
- Thread starter TwoLane
- Start date
We are bidding right now in KCY, so I would think that would bring it to a halt if that were true. Just a rumor it seems, there will be some re-alignment due to the RKI hub opening, but nothing that's not been planned for already.
What part of the FXF system you in?

FXF East... One of the management team at SNO was talking about it. I talked to a Ops Mgr last night from a different hub, and he told me that there were going to be changes, mostly to balance out some things. You may be correct with RKI. One example used was the amount of freight going back and forth from CGT to the east coast. I guess it's not even amount. 1 center may get 3-5 thru loads from CGT, but may only send 1 that way, or vice versa. Now that you are bidding, have you noticed if the bids are starting 7/7 or are they pushed back?

Here it comes even later start times.
More pissed off customers getting late
freight that was to be there by am del
only....
Yep you are right Smoke.... Later start times but we will still be expexted to kick them deliveries off b4 noon so the numbers look good. Of course we will still be expected to get that freight back into the center early too. Linehaul gets in late and the outbound freight is still expected to leave the center on time. It seems to me that they are squeezing the city operation from both ends to be the cushion between the two. Again I say 100 percent is good enough today but tomorrow we are going to need 110 percent and the day after that can we have 120 percent please. The crap never ends.
My management at my center is talking about making the city one big "extra board" We will bid start times and they will assign us a route according to "the needs of the company" what a crock of crap!!!!! This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. No way with 11 years seniority I'm going to run a hand unload or inside delivery route while a newbie runs a volume or a swap/switch. Not going to happen to me. I'll throw the bills back through the window and go home

at my center the lazy do nothing drivers are rewarded with cake walk routes drop and hooks no touch volumes and plenty of overtime.it doesn't really matter what you bid because the bums always get it there way while the hard working drivers get whipped on everyday to keep the numbers up.seems this will never change i'm considering slowing down too so i can get rewarded for less work

It's like that at most trucking companies. The lazy/slow work just hard enough not to get fired, so they work the skilled/fast people harder to pickup the slack.

I run out of CGX on a pm run and the re-bid for now is because of RKI opening. But I think everyone will re-bid again after that because that would've been the actual time to re-bid.

That's right! Just like a good dock worker that chases freight for a certain lane or load real good.....they'll be on that persons ***! Because that person exposed all of they're capabilities to the most! We had a few good outbound dockworkers who were trying to transfer and stuff and mngmnt didn't want to let em' go! Had radios and all! They damn near ran the outbound for the red-shirts! So you know where I'm getting at y'all!

Anybody know about where the Effingham terminal will be?....Close to that Petro down there? What'll be the yard stick get off?...159 or the 160 get off?
That's exactly where it is, just to the left of the Petro, exit 159.
They have been moving along pretty fast on it.
