I still use "jiff" sometimes then somebody usually says "what's a jiff ?". Ah the good ole days. ARN is a good place to work. Day runs to Kimball, NE to meet Rock Springs, WY 600+ miles. Night runs to either DSM or KCY both around 524. Apartments are cheap, I have a buddy working out of ARN who rents an apartment and pays around $250 a month. With e expansion of KCY that might help grow ARN also, so if your going to seriously do it now is the time to go. They mostly have Volvo tractors there. Worst thing about the jobs is the winter and road shut downs. All your freight comes from large hubs on either side, so if they shut down so do you. And i80 gets incredibly slick in ice/snow storms and the road closes in Wyoming a lot. Things like Walmart are 20 miles away, closest bestbuy, Home Depot, and such is Lincoln about an hour away. And they all just love Nebraska football, it disgusting!

When RC refers to a jiff, he's talking about a jiff lock to turn a 2 axle into a wanna be 3 axle. And boy he sure hopes Conway doesn't start using them.
So much so that they let those corn huskers get away with anything.

Talked with HR today, we had a sitdown with SCM, HR Advisor and HR boss. I can't transfer because the paperwork saying "You're a driver now" hasn't been completed. Even though I've met all the requirements, HR is 8 weeks behind on paperwork because of the holidays. <-- riiiiight. So dock worker with a CDL it is for me for a few more weeks at least. Did I mention a new City Driver rec hit the boards today? ha. It is what it is.. I was warned before I applied there's a lot of hoops to jump through. It'll be worth it eventually

PT knows exactly what RC is talking about, PT worked for Roadway and PT has "Jiffed" a tractor many times.
Yea thats him. Is he really that bad of a guy? I trained him when he started with the company. He was strict as a red shirt but things were done right. He is or at least was a good guy.

No exaggeration sir! This guy is the poster child for dictatorship. King Brad annointed him and it appears no one will dethrone him. Apparently Harriison likes this guy.

What is the difference between the Driver Apprentice program and the FedEx Driver Development Course? Or is it the same thing.

My MVR is clean, i have all the endorsements but no driving experience is this going to hurt me?I currently work for a contractor at fx Ground driving a 24ft step-van.

Good news! There'll be no one interested in transferring there
Bad news is they'll more than likely prefer that you have previous experience.
I would call the center and ask for the SCM, (terminal manager), and tell him you are working for FedEx ground now, and you are interested in working for FedEx freight. He might hire you as a dockworker and you can work into a city position?

Pretty much the same I think. Must have 6 months of indoctrination, I mean dock to get into the program.
