How long has that been going on?
They don't let you guys vote on anything like that, do they?

 

[Diggger86]

Got to remember depending on the location FXF has some very short road runs. CGX-MDW is 6 miles. Yea, that’s considered a road run lol. Plus there’s very few layover runs in the entire network.

Decades.
No. FxF is not Union.

I know you're not union but saw that you have a bunch of ways to rat out bosses and other employees.
Just checking if they voted on that or something.

I would vote to work the dock. It’s easy work and money.

Did the announcement mention the dolly policy? Asking for a city driver on thin ice.

 

[Crazy Trucker]

Well my friends after reading and rereading this carefully worded statement
I feel suspicious . Not sure what our future holds but I'll pray for all of you that
are still in the trenches .

Good Luck

You retire?

 

[Carlito Cojones]

There's zero chance of putting any package freight on rail. Transit time obligations would simply be impossible to meet.

Ground uses the rail now.

 

[Road_Warrior1]

Ground uses the rail now.

Does Freight generate profit from ground using rail? Isn’t the containers tied into us one way or another?

Absolutely, and all the miles were “helped” them cover over our highly profitable period were pasted from Ground’s coffers. I’m really curious what the cost per mile was…

Every time you grab one, you have to greet it with a “Hello”……..

Yea all you really have to do is move a couple bills , park your jeep in a 1/2 empty trailer get out your phone and read Truckingboards.com on overtime . Everyday occurrence in my barn .

OD, doesn’t. Driver’s are driver’s, dock is dock.

 

[Road_Warrior1]

OD, doesn’t. Driver’s are driver’s, dock is dock.

yeahhhhh understood. But we are also 100% Monday - Friday and we also get a bit more for drop and hook and we very rarely have lay downs. Again OD isn’t a bad gig AT ALL. But I’m just throwing a couple differences that FedEx offers..

also run out of a good hubs and you’ll get 5-600 mile runs easily

When I became a road driver out of my hub I didn’t have to touch a forklift and still haven’t.. every case is different

 

[Road_Warrior1]

And the rerouting. No more seeing a ground driver and express driver in the same area. One driver per area.

He was the key speaker.

This will continue to keep happening! It happens at Freight, Ground, and Express

We are talking about dollies right? Because city drivers are given explicit instructions to not talk to road drivers unless spoken to.
