FedEx Freight | GPD pay scale change
- Thread starter GA BOY
- Start date
I haven't heard anything but after years of being at the lowest pay rate, I'm sick of it. It seems right now we should have some leverage. How about a staying on bonus plus a pay raise?? 27.5 years and I am so ready quit but I won't because I'm 58 and don't want to start over.
you got a better chance of hitting the lottery without buying a ticket than you do of fedex stepping up and taking care of it's employees

That would be a good start.

Dropping the B should go without saying.
Do a 5-7% COL bump across the board in Oct would get drivers back in a competitive pay point.

Its June lets see it. They will move as slow as they have with the new 401K.
Nice increases elsewhere. Step up FEDEX!

Pay for truckers is soaring — one said his salary shot up to $70,000 from $40,000. But it's not enough to fill thousands of driver vacancies.
Truckers are moving among companies, tempted by bigger paychecks that let them spend less time on the road and more time at home, CNN reported.

I think it was joke of the day.
Maybe... Maybe not.
FedEx is going to have to do something. When we look around at (1) who is hiring, and (2) what they are paying and (3) the benefits... All 3 of theses are "significant".
I think the only real question is how many good ( or even great) drivers will they lose, while they decide how best to respond. Weeks/months spent calculating a measured response will likely be costly. IMHO.

Having a job fair at my terminal this Sunday. Trying to hire drivers, dock workers, and office people. Lots of competition for quality employees is bound to cause Fedex to up the ante on pay and benefits.
There are no great drivers left since I retired.

Correct. They'll have to adapt, or shrink,and eventually fade.
Amazon is swinging for the fences. Starting pay is better, working conditions are better, and benefits are better.
Fx simply won't be able to hire, or retain unless they up their game.

Have you noticed the lack of dock workers at any terminal near their distribution centers?
