Just to clarify Duke. Most all of us are either Express or a few ground contractors\employees. There really aren't any fedex freight guys that post here.
There is a facebook page where fedex freight is trying to organize with the teamsters. There is a lot of activity there. You will most likely get straighter answers to you questions there. Happy hunting bro. Someone here posted the link before so you can search that or whoever posted it can help the Duke out. I am thinking Cactus or SPH.
Thanks SPH. Watch out Duke, it really may make you apprehensive about fedex in general. You can see the company pays people to post there as they do here, so take it with a few grains of salt.
