Sounds like a plan! But I dont think enough will participate to even make a blip.
I believe we still have the freedom of speech (yeah they can fire you) I fought for it. I say what is on my mind I think we may not be able to change the way Fedex does buisness but I think we can have an affect on the way they treat us.May 31 effect the change

Life is short, enjoy it while you're here, It's not permanent !
I'm a retired ltl truck driver who will get up early on May 31st to help support you guys. And I'm not making a joke.
The choice is yours. Its Fred Smiths company. Fedex is whats on the door. Its really your CHOICE to stay or go.
Since its likely that everyone is not calling in on the 31st how about this: Do it by the book. I mean go all out...the whole 9. Lock your tractor and trailer door each and every stop. Put you d r's in order and take your lunch and stop the truck for the whole 30 minutes. Use thier own mandates to slow down. Surely this will affect SPH. At least if they retaliate you have a leg to stand on.
There were several of us on the hub that would do that, run the lift at a brisk walk, deck everything, basic by the book stuff, then come cut time the supervisors would go out their mind, coming at them with freight at a brisk walk and they have minutes to close, it worked, we got our point across and some of the BS let up, that was in OKC years ago.
I ain't got no panties on
Hi, I'm GT, and I'm just a number, of little to no value.
yes thats a good idea too, we are talking about road not city, people are losing their jobs here, some people think well its freds company, well it is, but there is no reason for people to be losing there jobs period, we should be hiring more people get rid of outside carriers, and the rail is a joke, if they cant make money like we did in the af days, take care of your people and customers, i believe they are in the wrong business, they say they are losing money now, just wait until next quarter, fedex needs to run this machine like a trucking company, man what has happened to common sense in this world, guess im getting old and the world is changing, just like that bellamy brothers song hes an old hippie, this will be my last post for a while, unless a find another job, then i will say my good byes, good luck and God bless to all those who have lost theire jobs and to those that have been reduced to rubble by the grinding giant we know as corparate america
and lets add a good pre trip anything out of order, wait and get it fixed , trying to get everyone to get a union or taking a day off people wont come together on it.. you can hurt them more by doing your job the rite way..
