There should be a minimal skill set to be hired to drive. Same kind of new employees at express. We have some new people that can't read maps, and get lost getting back to station. Unbelievable.
When someone is trained in feeders, that is probably the one biggest thing that holds them back. You just gotta keep practicing and one day a light bulb will go off. I got it! It will just come to you. I was lucky because as a kid we had a boat, and my dad used to let me back it up at the boat ramp and he would drive the boat off and onto the trailer. When my son got old enough, he did the same. It paid off since he is a shifter at the yard I worked in and caught on very quickly.
Fedex has had to lower the bar bigtime to get people to work here.Our station just hired someone who is probably worse than that. She has backed into the two trucks parked on either side of her, has rubbed the poles that are next to the bay door on multiple occasions and sideswiped one of the support columns in our sta. How she still has a job at FedEx is beyond me.

It's express too, at our station anyway!Man, that's a crapy backing job by that GROUND driver, but in his defense it is hard to back into a dark shaded area from bright sunlight.
I'm surprised that reverse actually works....Man, that's a crapy backing job by that GROUND driver, but in his defense it is hard to back into a dark shaded area from bright sunlight.
