    I swear fed ex has some of the worst drivers, I’ve been cut off by numoris of there box trucks, been passed in the blues (steep mountains look up “cabbage hill”) in a snow storm going 35 and the dude was probably doing 50-60 with doubles in the unplowed slush.

    You know why there is an operational delay? Cause they are laying on their side wanting their belly rubbed.
    Their going to start putting numbers on the bottom of the tractor and trailers so they know who it is.

    Interview went very well. Basicly I'm hired. Afternoon supervisor road tested me. Hook a trailer and go. He didn't have to tell me anything. Nice newer well equiped freightliner Cascadia trucks with auto trans. New trailers too. Mostly drop and hook. 5 days a week and no weekends. Reasonable shifts 8 or 9 hours. Day supervisor is supposed to call me tomorrow to discuss wage. I'm so relieved, feels like a big weight has been lifted off my chest.
    My current boss comes back from vacation next week. I'll give a 5 day notice and say next Friday is my last day. I can't wait to see the look on her face, lol. Then again she might not even care.

    F@ck yeah!!! I felt so bad for your situation and knew there was better out there! Now let's hope their wage/benefit package is worth a shit.

    I feel for your brother !

    Was this the Good Fed-Ex or the evil Fed-Ex ground. Who seems all out to destroy The Good Name of Fed -Ex.

    It was cool to be at EWR in the wee hours to watch one Fed -Ex plane after another land turn around and leave.

    That was back long ago.

    Many trips up Ny route 22 from I 84 I had a co worker I went to visit in Bellows Falls a few times a year.

    Most often in the wee hours .

    Very few roads I never explored when fuel was cheap.

    Man I slept so good last night now that I'm not stressing about work and my job hunt. It's like a big weight has been lifted off my chest. I'll be counting the days until I can leave now. Now the rest of the ass kissers can pick up my work too, lol. So now I just wait on the phone call from. The day supervisor about the money part, I'm not worried about that based on what I saw in the interview with the night supervisor.
