He did not have to drive it ......
I had to put 2 gallons into a city unit one day that was driven by the same maggot every day , nothing was said to the driver by the shop or TM/Sups .Not to mention you'd find out who actually does a pre-trip and who never even bothers to roll a hood or thump a tire. I thought that was as much a reason to bid tractors as driver satisfaction, but I'm just a dumb truck driver.
If you don't hold people accountable for stuff like that, you shouldn't come around to warn us about it when parts can't show up (thanks, China) and every 24-hour shop has three or four rows of trucks waiting on repairs. Cause and effect.I had to put 2 gallons into a city unit one day that was driven by the same maggot every day , nothing was said to the driver by the shop or TM/Sups .
I can do a tale. You would believe it too.Not to mention you'd find out who actually does a pre-trip and who never even bothers to roll a hood or thump a tire. I thought that was as much a reason to bid tractors as driver satisfaction, but I'm just a dumb truck driver.
“Dicey”If its a bid with the same gate times and destination, you move the guy up in the chain OR you fill the run if its not cancelled.
Now where that gets dicey is if that particular run drops out of trailers, a bid driver would get cancelled lack of freight and if the board has already been offered out, you're not supposed to walk back and go through it again. If the super goes back through the board, hes just being a nice guy, there is zero obligation for him to do so and its his choice.
We have a few different cancellation reasons at the moment: Lack of Driver, Lack of Freight, Better Business Decision - The issue is the change in procedure for LOF sometimes gets confused. LOD/BBD goes in seniority order, LOF you drop to the bottom nomatter what. But atleast at my terminal a majority of cancellations are ran as BBD since we have some freight but not enough to actually justify the expense of running a driver there. (Now that I think about it, that might be for LOD.)
Ask your TM for a password, login to a company computer, head to home.fedex.com (Will not work outside the network) - click on freight in the top corner where all the opcos are location and then click on knowledgebase, it may ask you to sign in again but there is the best way to view up-to-date policy. Though its always written with lots of grey area room to allow local management to make certain decisions.
That isn't very much fuel, practically full....glad I dont work with you...lmaoI had to put 2 gallons into a city unit one day that was driven by the same maggot every day , nothing was said to the driver by the shop or TM/Sups .

Mr Smoke, can you private message me and tell me how I can private message another member. Thank youMy TM / Staff did not care who or what a truck looked like including smells .
The thing is, they don't know officially they have a lack of drivers until all extra board guys have chosen their runs. That's how it works.Lack of drivers policy is ONE of the worst at this company! So if you don't have any freight I go to board in my seniority. If you don't have enough drivers I GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD! What idiot would punish drivers for coming to work? Lack of drivers is a FedEx problem! Don't punish me because you don't have enough.
I started saving my personal days for when they called me and said we canceled you due to lack of drivers. I would say now you need another one bye bye now.
Open the passenger door and push it out. When they tell you to clean it up, quick answer, "It's not mine. Call in the last driver."Any time tractors get passed around and bosses howl when they see rotting fast food, news papers and so on knee deep on the other side of the Shifter Boot.
IF they stop sharing the trucks and assign them... they will be in much better shape until all the dirtys are eliminated.
We didn't have the problem in Charl as your nonunion contract.I'm an XB driver, and chose this position because I get to run days more often than not. (Confession - I haven't read any replies.)
Here's how it works:
If there are too few drivers to move freight, all available drivers MUST be exhausted before any runs are canceled. So, anyone that's canceled goes to XB and fills available runs that haven't been canceled. You've already been offered and accepted a run at this point.
If there isn't enough freight for everyone to run, canceled drivers move to XB in seniority order. Example: Although I'm XB, I would fall in at number 5 on our night side. Should I be available at night, anyone #4 or higher would be above me, and anyone #5 or lower would be below me, should anyone be canceled for lack of freight.
The reason LOF drops you in at seniority is because not every driver has been used yet. In that scenario, you have to offer runs by seniority.
Carolina Supplement? Isn't that the extra long grain rice?We didn't have the problem in Charl as your nonunion contract.
If your bid was canceled, you lost the trip, a bid driver couldn't bump on the extra board.
If the extra board was exhausted, they may ask if you wanted to run an extra trip.
If you accepted it could cause you to miss your next bid, and you could not run another round on the extra board.
This was in the (Carolina Supplement)
Yep, it's in the grits family.Carolina Supplement? Isn't that the extra long grain rice?
One day I got a hold of a particularly bad tractor. Mold and everything crawling on the old meat in the sun.Open the passenger door and push it out. When they tell you to clean it up, quick answer, "It's not mine. Call in the last driver."
