FedEx Freight | Raises. Any news?

[Michal006]

A raise increase but then the raise in heath benefits comes. The raise has not & won't cover the increase The only way for a linehual driver to make more is to get on a run with more miles

Or work 6 days a week

Hell yeah! Gotta take care of those stock holders!

You guys should be thanking my partner for getting that 15 percent increase in dividends payout.....

My TM said all new hires and any driver not at top scale will now be bumped up, what we all thought would happen last raise pretty much. They said hiring people at the 2nd scale didn’t work to bring in new drivers. He also said they are working on something to Compensate the drivers that are already at tops scale but nothing is set in stone. He said they will reward us for having the best quarter in nearly 7/8 years this October but didn’t say by how much.

This is not a company wide policy. Only happening where there is a severe labor shortage, normally on the hourly side. For some they just run contractors in your lanes, infront of you, so you wait even longer at the hub.

Yep. I'm in a area where it is hard to hire so they're hiring everyone's wives and kids. Its family thang here at FedEx. Also was told our barn should be a higher pay scale by regional but that its out of management's hands. Everything was handed over to outside firm to go over and determine. So pretty much a stop asking and GFY answer.
