Welcome! :thumbsup: I left Estes after a dozen years there and came over here last Feb. No regrets. Not that big E was a bad deal, it's just that they ain't no FedEx.

this company doesnt give a :
: about its employees. we have a 25 year man that was out on med for 4 months and when he came back he lost his linehaul senority and was put on the bottom of the city board. this is bull :: we need the same rules as freight here at national. Our hr wont stand up for us.
[/quote]
Oh, but listen to these newbreed drivers just fawn over this ::.
But wait until they get some strap and get bent over (and they will)...then we'll see how gung-ho they are.
Same morons in another thread are amazed and astounded that a truckdriver would carry basic tools and extra placards around with him.
LOL...new breed drivers just want to sit around and get paid to do nothing.
But the party will be over when half these guys are out on their asses after FedEx merges the opcos (once the dust settles after YRCW goes out).

No, I think we are amazed that you would jeopardize your job by working on FedEx's equipment when it against the rules. It's called unauthorized repair of equipment, look it up in the handbook. Then again, what's it going to hurt. The way you bitch about how this company is run, go ahead and give them some ammo to get rid of you.

And I bet you take your 1/2 meal break at the hub/meet point everyday?
What do I care what you people think?
Like I said, alot of you are in for a BIG surprise once the LTL dust settles.
No way I'd sign on to this company right now.
FedEx will only tolerate losing big $$$ for so long.

He's right it's not hard to do. Mike , really if you hate your job that much find another one. It doesn't matter how much time you have in it. And the way you talk we'll all be out of one anyway cause Nat'l is such a egg sucking dog of a company that freight is just going to shut us down. Oh poor pity us, we work for a awful place. They are going the way of YRC. I'm so sick of hearing that. Nat'l is a good company. Not perfect but where is. All places have rules, deal. My goodness you make $90,000 a yr to DRIVE A TRUCK!!! not a rocket scientist !!!!

So how bad is it?
Are you constantlly scrutinized for everything?...and I do mean everything.
Your integrity and committment is questioned on a daily basis?
Your efforts are viewed with a raised eybrow...doubting your days work was sufficient to support the cause?
SCMs with an out to getcha mentality...never ceasing to find ways to either write-up or terminate employees? FOSs with an unimaginable sense of superiority...disdaining drivers as if the were the scum of the earth?
Are you being talked down to as if you were some five year old child who refused to be potty trained?
Are you being consantly reminded there are thousands of out of work drivers just waiting to replace you at the drop of a hat?
Do you work for a company that uses every excuse imaginable to cut your benefits and wages...retirement...vacation...and job security blaming the economy? Is your company relentless in its never ending push for more...more...more...meanwhile 'enhancing' your pay package and demanding more for less?
Pounds per hour are never enough...stopsper hour are never enough...bills per hour are never enough...nothing is ever good enough.
Are you constantly baraged with corporate BS about 'one more shipment' as they **** away thousands (millions?) of dollars on a race car...?
Do you have written policy manual?...one you can access at any time. To verify policies and rules...to understand the things expected of you.
Con-Way doesn't have one of those...and never will!
You have any picnics?...Christmas parties?...Con-Way doesn't have them...they killed that idea long ago...even before the economic mess.
Have you ever be thanked for doing a good job?...never heard of at Con-Way...
And so it goes ad nauseum....
Until you have to work under these conditions the post has no real world complaints...
You have it better than you think...and yes things do change...some OK and some not.
But it is what it is.
Suffer the above mentioned conditions and then will talk.
Deal with the daily tirades of how you can be terminated and replaced...worry about your family's livelihood and be forced to deal with some of the most assinine :: one can imagine...and that is Con-Way.
Walk a mile in a Con-Way employee's shoes...
Your perspective will change.

Well i hope so!I Cant see the value in merging the brands other than have less overhead due to less service centers.When i went through orientation,we watched a recording from the ceo of fedex.The ceo went on to explain the value in having them stay apart in that it offers the customers two products.....one faster and one more economical.
