TruckTurner just keep running it up the flagpole , everytime they give you no answer or lie , you want their name , then you want the next person , till the right person catches wind of it , unless it's a DOT thing then just tell FDX you will contact the proper federal people . I will tell you this , your TM and management will retaliate and punish in every way they can , good luck friend .

We have 20 guys sitting at home today. 10 runs cancelled this morning, all this with lots of folks on furlough. It’s time to do a layoff.
When things got bad between 2012/2014 I carried a recording device with me constantly. Anyone from management got near me I hit record. About to that point again.

What blows my mind is how perfect they timed this.. speaking of my center only.
Before this bid that started 2 weeks ago we rarely had guys sitting at home with no work and had no furloughs. We just lost 10+ runs, a couple furloughed and now have 10-15 people not working all week
FedEx nailed this perfect aka we definitely had to lose a huge national account because it just seems like everyone got even MORE slow all at the same time

We’ve lost at least 5 big accounts over the past year. Went to OD and Yellow. Sales person I know said they were told to not go after any more new business. What was the point in buying all this new equipment and hiring drivers just to let customers go? And it’s not like these were money losing accounts.

How about naming these 5 big accounts?
Every...and I mean every major freight line is having furloughs and layoffs.
It obviously depends on the area your in ...

But I doubt every MAJOR freightline’s moto is don’t go after business???
There's a plan, and it has something to do with this DRIVE/ CONSOLIDATION plan of corporate. Who doesn't go after new business in a down economy?

Watch the new Freight Forward video. Lance Moll talks to Express’s CEO about offloading heavy air cargo and putting it in our network. DRIVE, not fly… That might be why we are shredding accounts… Stay tuned to the April, 5 announcement by Raj.
The company actually do something to benefit us? Somebody pinch me.
I talked to Lance about the big announcement. He said once the Inflation Reduction Act kicks in, it will be a freight bonanza. He said we would be switching city vans out for curtainsides with moffets and double stacking freight. 70 hours minimum guaranteed.
Just like this but with roll up walls to protect freight from the elements.

Its actually true, plus Lance said @Big Dave requested the moffett to load his hat in the cab and prevent any workman's comp claims for back injuries.
