Had a pre shift this morning about a just one more raffle. From Dec - Mar if you get 10 jom in a month you get entered into the drawing. 5 first place and 5 second place drivers will be chosen at the end of each month, first place is $5k second is $2.5k.

Bring on the fraud!

We call BS. They don’t give away money like that.

Agreed,
That's $25,000 for 5
And another $12,500 for another 5 drivers

Fx ain't about to give away $37,500 every month, tor 3 months.

My guess is that it will be like the last Jom contest.
Getting some small, stupid ::shit:: for every JoM. ****in small, rubber footballs, Teny, TINY box with 3 Band-Aids, and a pair of earplugs is what I remember getting. Insulting junk.
 
I could get 5 , JOM in one day when you run the
same route everyday. What a joke....
Customers don't want to hear a driver begging
for freight everyday nor do I want to hear your
sob story why , get lost. Unless ya want to do 1/2
for your customer. It's rife with debauchery.
 
I’m just repeating what I was told, I don’t see any reason why the guy who gave to pre shift would lie. Also you don’t know what the company does and doesn’t do.
We know that the benchmark for $5k is 25 years of safe driving and no injuries, 10 of those years needing to be consecutive.
 
I was still there the last time they had the big JoM push.
I don't remember the timeframe, or details.

But I am sure I got rooked. The winner got 63 JoMs in the timeframe, and I am positive that I was VERY close to that, if not more.

But, I remember a particular week where I got 11 JoMs. The next week, a Redshirt read out who got what for the previous week, and they had only recorded me getting 2. This was before the Green JOM stickers. Looking back, I should have made them dig into that, but I was already making plans for my escape, and it wasn't a big concern.


Moral is,
Make damn sure that every JoM you get, is recorded!
 
Been awhile since I was a city driver, but isn’t any thing not in your handheld a JOM. I would go to a customer who would always have 2 or 3 more shipments than they called in and I would get credit for a JOM on each one. I didn’t ask for them, it was just orders they got done early or they decide to send with Fedex since YRC wasn’t running in that area that day. I got a little Fedex NASCAR for all of the JOM I got. Even though I never asked for one, just lucky to have that route I guess.

we were told no that wouldn’t be a jom. You have to ask for the freight and get it from another competitor for it to be a jom or so we were told.
 
Didn't I read that John Smith said in the most recent video that "we are headed into the busy season now so stay focused"? I haven't seen a JOM contest in years. The trinket closet must be full. As far as the $150,000, who knows, we are throwing $500,000 at billboards to say we appreciate you. Must be tapping the new revenue stream of the insurance penalty.

LMFAO ... How long you been with FedEx?.. not calling him a liar. He's just missed informed. Once we had that contest winner got something from the FedEx catalog. And I think it was like from the 5 yr of service catalog.
 
Also, Fx has NEVER given out incentives for their workforce to go above and beyond.
Yeah, yeah, BZ/PP awards.. Wtf ever.

Those things are handed out about as often as Harley's comet makes it's rounds.

Why does it matter how long I have worked here? It’s possible he was misinformed but I doubt it, why say anything if it’s not true.
 
Well, it's 100% true, just as OP reported.

Buddy sent me a pic of a poster they have up at the old barn..
Kudos to you for posting verification of the original post. THAT is admirable. Clearly a "stand up" thing to do. :1036316054:

Wonder if any of the more dramatic naysayers will do the same...

Apparently the numbers work. A few large (but random via a drawing) payouts must cost an amount similar to thousands of small token prizes. We know FedEx certainly has, and knows, numbers.
