FedEx Freight | Mandatory meetings

[Redracer3136]

True, but what a pain in the ass

You'd be surprised....they're only moving the freight about 90 miles away and the drivers who are interested in following the freight would actually have a shorter ride to the other centers.

 

[Redracer3136]

The drivers who are interested in relocating to GBO will be retiring in the next two years (win, win for GBO) and the ones to GSP originally came from GSP several years ago during a previous realignment so they'll just be going back home.

Anyone know the scope of this new transition? Will it be a nationwide thang? I know we are having meetings here out west, so I probably answered my own question

From what I've heard from other centers, yes, it's a nationwide thang. It's basically a realignment of freight...moving freight from PT's to our trailers and some lanes due to the ELD's, guess we'll all find out tomorrow.

We get to follow the freight too, there's nothing stopping us from moving

What I meant is you won't lose drivers involuntarily.

Meetings tomorrow in EUG and SAC

Meetings tomorrow in EUG and SAC

Maybe this will be about a nationwide ice cream party and Slush Puppy machines being installed in every barn

 

[FedexLube]

Hooray! Happy Purple Boner Day!

Liking your job

Correct...if no one follows the freight, everyone's job is still safe due to understaffing. No one will be displaced.

Understaffed at all four centers? Not likely. They won't displace a driver at the four centers for obvious reasons.

I can't speak for the other three, only CLT.

I run a relay out of Russellville, AR, lot of freight comes out of OKC going to CLT lets hope they don't start shuttling a lot of that freight around to shiney wheels to pull instead of us, it only took me almost 23 years to get a run I didn't have to work the dock. Getting to old and pissed off to work the dock anyway.

Shouldn't be an issue since we send a boat load of OKC freight out going west over various lanes.

 

[Richard Cranium]

My domicile will have a net loss of four bids.
No layoff, no work to follow, work being outsourced to railroad.
Extra board increases to 30% of our driver base.

Talk about snatching the rug out. No layoffs just uncertainty from day to day.
