Actually Rat my main man you have until Monday 9-26-2010 at midnight to turn in the paperwork for the severance pay. TP
I thought you worked at Con-Way?Everybody needs to step back and take a deep breath.
We have been into this just over a week...with four months to go...which is a long time for things to potentially change.
Those wishing for severance needed to have their requests in by 9/24 and those wanting to transfer by 10/4.
Between 10/4 and 10/15 those numbers will be crunched and notifications will be given to those who qualify...until that happens everything is conjecture. On 10/15 the TMs will be in meetings to discuss the ramifications of those numbers.
Everything to this point in regards to changes have been based on computer models...software designed to handle these kinds of situations.
It is faceless number crunching.
Once the dust has settled as to who is going where then adjustments will be made.
In the mean time relax...take the significant other out to dinner...beat the kids (just kidding!)...have a cookout...whatever it takes to get on with your life in a normal manner.
We have a LONG WAY to go before all is written in stone.

"I understand what is going on with the Company, and I am one of the fortunate ones, that will be able to retain a job with FedEx Freight, and I am very thankful for that. I do not care about what truck I drive, I don't care about my start time, I am not worried about losing 2 paid days off per year. I am not pointing fingers at any one person, ESPECIALLY fellow drivers at FXNL or FXF."
If you weren't "one of the fortunate ones", you would be singing a differnet tune. Even though I don't work for Fedex, I had to take a job 600 miles away from my family and live in my pick up truck for 10 months, sell all our furniture, so that I could pay my mortgage and feed my family.
It is very difficult to find a job nowadays and all the LTL companies have lowered their starting pay. Even if you have many years of experience and a clean license, they will not negotiate the starting pay. Been there, done that. That means you will be making the same wage as a driver with minimal years of experience. I strongly disagree.
It is good to be able to vent out fustrations and worries. We need to be able to encourage one another through the hard times instead of saying, "Time to Nut up or shut-up!"
You are definitely a compromiser, ass kisser and would do anything to keep his job.
You would make a good terminal manager. lol.

Actually PB I don't think you will get laid off. FXF is bringing a lot of business to your terminal, plus there will be seven spots opening up for shuttle drivers. Keep the faith TP
Hi Everyone. I am a Current FXNL P&D driver out of Southern California, soon to be called a "CITY Driver".;)
National employees are an easy target. That is just human nature I guess, you have to have someone to blame, so here I am!
Wow purple what a post. But one thing I'm perplexed about is, I am FXNL too and, I'm positive there isn't anyone working here that can string that many coherent sentences together clearly enough to put forth a concise and accurate picture. So my question to you is " Who are you and what have you done to the poor FXNL drivers body you took over". LOL

All I can say, is I like and honey allot, I may have a bite or two myself! :DOk since the one Nat'l driver is going to take all the blame can we just cover him in honey and stake him on an ant hill and be done with all the foolishness and fighting. I sure would like the boards to go back to being fun. Full of gossip and driver rumors and what if. Not all this anger.
If the Nat'l driver is real studdly I just rub honey on him and we won't put him on the ants. Hate to waste good man flesh LOL.
You people need to lighten up some now. It's been two weeks and I won't have a job at the end of this all. I haven't hung myself yet. Rope scratched my neck LOL.
I think it happened one night while driving by Area 51...thats all I can say! Top secret gubbermint stuff you know.Wow purple what a post.
