Vantaggi
10 years ago FedEx was a place I was proud to contract trucks with. It WAS a fun place to work. The memory includes decent pay, a tire discount program, a maintenance program with bonuses. and a decent run schedule.
Svantaggi
Every year the FedEx contract has taken from us. We were forced to put workers comp on contracted drivers. FedEx never gave us revenue to cover this cost. We were forced to make contracted drivers OUR employees. FedEx didn't compensate us for the additional costs. The tire program was cancelled, The maintenance program with bonuses was cancelled. I'm sure the fuel cards, fuel tax program and toll transponders are the next to go. If you have an accident FedEx Ground will almost always say it was your fault. Even if it goes to court and you win. I've seen this happen. One of the drivers had prostrate cancer. FedEx tried to disqualify him after his doctor ok'd him to return to work. He's back to work but only after FedEx Ground was threatened with a law suit. Local management is an embarrassment and disgrace..
