FedEx Freight | Voluntary Furloughs

Enjoy it. When those furloughed guys come back it will be back to reality. That’s why I jumped ship and went to UPS. Already on a 4 day sleeper run, and making the same money on UPS bottom scale as I was on Fedex top scale. Oh and the retirement and healthcare is better. I spent 11 years at FedEx freight, the furloughs and EMERGENCY coding were the last straws for me.
How much are you grossing per week? Are you running out of Chicago?
 
What is EMERGENCY coding, not asking for a friend, asking for myself.
Dispatch would hold loads if they didn’t have 2 full loads going out or coming back. Then would have a purchase or a VIA come get it while drivers on the bid would sit at home. They claimed it was because of the shutdowns
