Maybe I am missing something. If Fed EX so much freight that they are brokering loads off the internet, why are so many of us sitting? Wouldn't it make sense to offer these loads to the contractors they already have? They do it with TPS. Soneone explain it to me....Please

It has been reported that when Fred Smith started FED EX, drivers and pilots often used their own credit cards to purchase fuel. Money was tight, but the people associated with the company felt they were a part of a team. Sadly, that spirit is lacking at FED Ex CC. What can be done to restore...

If this new load board is so sucessful for Fed Ex CC, why haven"t I been offered any of the loads? My income has dropped over 60% Bet yours hasn't. While you REMFs sit and take orders, the worker bees are starving!

RE: FECC Fact: I have been working for them for several years now. Fact: My income has increased slightly each year. Do I like everything they do? No! You can ask O/O from any company and they will have negative things to say. Try concentrating on the good. Where can you work part-time...

Jim, That is a good idea. I have been trying to teach Hooligan to hit the button that will open the door on my van. So far he hasn't mastered the unlock proceedure. But he has looked me out several times. Bob
