FedEx Freight | Favoritism at terminals?

[nasvegas]

Love that. Such courtesy. The other night I had one of ours pin me in the middle lane after I moved over for him to get on. Lined up with my kite and just held it there. You’re welcome, a**hole. Next time I’ll let you eat the shoulder.

Remember they're merging with you. You are already in a lane. Lol

For a little while because fuel costs are on line 3.
Mirror expenditures are usually line 46…….

You notice on the new truck's that if you hit something or something hits you they move. Had a truck come over on me couple years ago and hit mirror and bent forward. I was furious! Got out and it popped back into place. Bet that was something fedex pushed for over fuel economy. Lol

Drive 46, and save the company on fuel costs, and improved miles per gallon.

Does this work on all days, not just casual Fri?

Yep. Their responsibility to get in.

I'm a city driver. Both jobs are hard but to me road is a little harder....working nights is tough.....I worked nights (in a different industry) for many years and as I get older I don't know how someone in their 50s and 60s do it.....

Maybe Prescription Drugs have something to do about surviving 3rd Shift in your 50-60's

Ya know, if you want to be that tough guy, get out on the football field, if you have the stones. Otherwise you don't need to be pushing a set of pups down the interstate. If you ever watch the you tube videos of idiots in car, 90 percent of all those incidents could be avoided if the people with the cameras would just BACK out of it, let the morons go on their way! Those extra 3 seconds seem to be So important.

I travel I65 every night and that highway is the absolutely worst with 64-66 mph trucks. It’s not worth the frustration. I usually just set the cruise to 64 and chill.

Set that cruise @46, less stress, and arrive 5 minutes later.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at; he was the one pushing me around. I never said anything about where we ended up, and no, it wasn’t with me in front.

Had one of yours cut over at 4/10 second in front of me, 7 mph slower. Rough night on the dock? That was as bush league as the unmarked jumping in front of me on 294, turning on his lights & slowing me down. Three lanes of 61mph. “Keep right except to pass” is a sign just like “no trucks left lane”. GTFO

Foot to the floor unless weather forces the situation.

And I suppose if active construction is going on.

My truck goes one speed. Never faster, never slower. 65 gate to gate.

After a while you quit paying attention to the desk dwellers. Everyone knows who has purple knee pads and is a proud member of the round mouth club.

I’m a freight hauler, I have two speeds: stop & go.

When your go is 64-5, be considerate of 69-70.

What is this considerate word you speak of and what does it mean?

Right. Professional drivers. What was I thinking? At the time, it was GET THE OUT OF THE WAY.

Buster brown likes getting in my way quite often doing 55mph down the road.

And when you go to pass they find that go pedal and leave you in the dust.

UPS is a menace. Not in a hurry, use the right lane. The ones that race me can’t pull inclines. When I get by em, never see them again. Get a real hobby.
