FedEx Freight | Policy for following freight?

[pickitup]

Anyone know what the company policy is for following freight for road? What I've heard is you go by company seniority in your dept to transfer to other center, then you dovetail back in with your dept seniority at new center.

Yes that’s how it’s supposed to work

You also have to be in “good standing” to follow the freight I think...or at least that’s the way it used to be....

Explain to the ones that dont know what " good standing " is myself for one. Or at least the way it used to be.

In “good standing” used to mean no write ups for the 6 months prior to a transfer whether it be to another job class or following the freight...well, no signed write ups anyways.

We once had a guy who got to transfer on the technicality that he didn’t sign his write ups (he had 2 or 3 at the time)...ended up costing another driver around 10 spots in seniority!! I’d advise everyone to not sign anything!!

I thought they could terminate you for refusing to sign corrective action forms.

Not that I know of. They may threaten you but there’s no law that says you have to....and I’m guessing the NLRB would probably side with the employee if one were to file a wrongful termination suit.
