FedEx Freight | Yall miss National Driver Appreciation week?

[SwampRatt]

The silence on this board has been deafening! WTF?:confused:

They actually celebrated it this year at my barn...


We had biscuits Tue, Cookout Thurs evening, more biscuits Fri. Road drivers had Subway or something similar instead of biscuits. NOT too bad! Center Manager actually cooked every burger and every hot dog himself at the cook out.

Kind of unusual, but i'll take it

When was that? Or is it this week? Sysco keeps us in the mushroom room so they don't have to deal with it!

I looked it up, I sent 3 mgrs a message that they missed it, now I'm a dick, I'll get the spray paint out and paint that target on the back of my uniform shirt!

We win everything at my Terminal and get so many cookouts it's hard for me to keep up with what they are for.

Time I got in at 7pm everything was either gone or sitting out cold with roaches on it

Doughnuts every morning and veggie/fruit trays that sat out all day. Lots of diet Pepsi. That was my appreciation week. Our BBQ grills were never dusted off.

We were the lucky host of Denny's NECKCAR Toyota, they had barbeque from 11:00-15;00 real nice of them to feed bunch of strangers.. only a handful of A.M dock and a few drivers who came back for a second route got any food!

That is a shame... In the past they did not celebrate the same week as national truck driver appreciation week, instead having their own employee appreciation week.... Seems more center managers participated when it was employee rather than driver.

There really is no excuse as there was money budgeted for this... No purple promise or extra mile awards for these second rate managers

We had breakfast catered in the morning and roast beef, mashed potatoes, etc catered in the afternoon/evening. It was a pretty nice spread.

We won cookouts too. The problem was they just forgot to do the cookouts. Then they would say this cookout is for the last 2 or 3 we won.
