FedEx Freight | Railroad strike?

With U.S. railroad shutdown threatening, industry counts the cost

A railroad strike or lockout could cost the U.S. economy $2 billion per day in output, threaten supplies of food and fuel, and stoke already red-hot inflation, according to an industry report released on Thursday.

I wonder if the FMSCA will lift service hour regulations and make us run wild

Awesome, I can spend even more time having some absolute fun on a shuttle bid like most of our drivers.

Full time dock employee with somewhat-ish reliable transport.

I think FedEx would temporarily suspend shuttle runs and keep everything moving. Dock workers would have a lot of mandated overtime.

And you all said my just in case bag was crazy.... We're all about to be OTR drivers

I remember when UPS went on strike. Freight everywhere! I would think this would be worse! I was a dock worker then. I worked 14hrs Monday thru Thursday and 17hrs on Friday during that!

This would undoubtedly be worse. There's already a supply chain issue with ships on the coasts and a labor shortage because onlyfans is easier. Plug up the rails and it'll be a disastrous flood once that plug is pulled.

Speaking of plugs, where's Mayor Pete? Isn't this his department? Is he on maternity leave again?

You're assuming FedEx can do anything efficiently.

A man can dream! I wouldn't be surprised if FedEx has no contingency plan in place and just wings it

Fx doesn't have to accept all that freight. They'll move what they want, and kick the rest down the road.

True. After a year of planning for employee appreciation, the best they can come up with is hotdogs. I feel appreciated
