IF you could be a FedEx Driver for one day

[Operational needs]

If I was a FDX Air Driver, I’d watch out for guys carrying spear guns and hammers onboard.

Why? That happened on a plane.

Not including the bulkhead door, I’ve seen UPS drivers doing that also.

and

No one likes a rat….

no rats needed....telematics.

They won't drive for long with the bulkhead open....till end of day maybe.

I've actually seen that as well. Only in really remote/rural areas though.

You don’t need a handcart now with that cake route you have. Lol.

You would at least be treated like a human being.

Less money=human being?

No. Just the way people are treated in general. The hourly/management relationship is not as toxic as it is at UPS. Management isn’t constantly looking for ways to fire people.

Definitely true all the fed ex drivers near my route hardly wear their seatbelt.

They don’t need to look for ways to fire people. They quit constantly.

Fedex managers don’t check seatbelts or bulkhead doors or follow you around in their personal vehicles because, guess what, those things don’t help productivity.

They also offer zero incentive to retain good drivers because they don’t need quality drivers for short term profits. They need an ass in a seat that won’t complain about low stagnant wages and having to use their own phone with RoadWarrior to do their job and having zero recourse when they get ed over by management.

Apartment. FedEx doesn’t pay enough to buy a house.

Have to wait in line until the UPS drivers delivers the stop.

Unfortunately ime they usually leave the building earlier so when you get to most of your business stops they already have delivered there..
