I've traded in My Big E hat for a FXN hat.
FXN added 20+ runs to the terminal here, so I applied and was offered a Line Haul position straight onto a schedule bid run. After much prayer and discussion with my wife, I accepted.
FXN only had 3 L/H men at this barn to start. So with the help of God and a couple of old friends that work there, I got in early in this wave of hiring, that's how I wound up with a bid right away. They tell me FXN is going to put on another big batch of relay runs coming here out of Harrisburg in the summer, so I should be set up pretty good.
It still was a very hard decision to make because I had so much time and so many friends at E. But Richmond pulled almost all the L/H runs out of my barn, and that put me back out on the E/B for who knows how long. Wrong place wrong time kinda deal. Other terminals like 037, 010 etc. got a big shot in the arm from the change, and I'm glad for those guys, but I had to do what's best for my family, my church and myself.
I will say this. If anybody ever asks me about Estes, I will have nothing but good things to say.
It's a great company, with great people, plenty of good freight, and top of the industry pay and benefits. Big E has a very long history and a very good reputation in the world of LTL and I expect they will continue to be a strong player.
I will always be very grateful to God for the job I was allowed to do there all those years.
Thank you big E and God bless all you guys! I pray you all prosper whatever terminal you run out of.
I'll still drop in here and say howdy from time to time.
Let me leave you brothers and sisters with my life verse from the 1611 KJV of the Bible...
King Solomon was one of most wise and wealthy kings of Old Testament times. He wrote that he tried "everything under the sun" to find peace and happiness.
Solomon wrote this at the end of his life in the book of Ecclesiastes...
Ecc: 12:13-
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
(I gotta go over to the Fedex board now and find out what the "purple promise" is....)
