Since you asked for replies from FedEx drivers, here is mine. I do not disagree with most of what you said. I encourage you to send your words by e-mail to your contractor coordinator; Subject: Feedback on New Dispatch System. Your message will be forwarded to the appropriate people.

I do not understand everything about the new system, but understand it enough to make it work. I do not believe there is anything wrong with the system that cannot be fixed and I am hoping they will get it fixed soon.

I have heard from people who are in a position to know that, because of the new system, runs are being captured that were being lost to other carriers before. In that sense, the system is a success and good news for drivers. Now, let's get the tweaking done and free drivers from the new system's flaws.

I would not want to go back to the old system. With more business coming our way, I can put up with transitional hiccups for a while.
