To each their own, I’d rather run shuttle runs and get out of the truck and do some physical work. Sitting in that truck for long periods is also hard on your body. By the way, I happen to really enjoy my “crappy” center.
If you like it that's all that matters. Me personally, between a couple years doing otr flatbed and shuttle at a crappy center, I'm much happier just driving now.
Speak for yourself. Not all of the senior drivers ever touched freight or even opened trailer doors when they started.
Why pay a dock worker $18 per hour when you can pay a road driver $32.95!!! Makes perfect sense...on some other planet. Not this one.
Hey Richard thanks for checking in and setting the record straight. I forgot about you old F___S. Hope everything is going well.
Bottom of the board.
Bottom of the city board, however layoffs are by your full time company seniority.
Dare we even mention parking MILLIONS of dollars worth of tractors for hours on end to free up forklift drivers? And then park those forklifts for hours on end waiting for their $32.95 per hour drivers to return?
Life is good! Thanks for asking!
Distant relative of traps which live two ranges over.
My tractor is 8 years old with 700,000 miles on it. I would say that tractor has made FedEx plenty of money. My measly 4 hrs on the dock, plus my 169 mile round trip is most likely paid in full with One shipment. I think FedEx will be ok!!
Yes, a trap shaped like my wife's purse.
only 4 hours? Should be able to make 6 and still get your forklift operator transport vehicle back to the terminal.
Back when the #1 rule was have fun, the company actually took care of the employees.
Nah that happened in like 08/09 That rule was long gone
