[QUOTE="Schlepper, post: 1011717, member: 31992"] Let me introduce this element: what kind of training does a Ground driver receive? They get trained by whatever contractor hired them? Who does that contractor get trained by, the previous contractor? The terminal is extremely lax in terms of training (but seeing as how we're not "employees," who could blame them). I think that they do that intentionally to try and get drivers/contractors to unknowingly screw up so FedEx can pull their customer service bonuses and keep that $$ at the corporate level. The terminal will only tell you that you have done something wrong well after the fact that you do something wrong. No matter what company you work for, there are things that you will do daily that are not "by the book" to the absolute letter. These are things that you will do to service your PSA and save time. Time is of the essence in this business. If you start snowballing or returning to the terminal after the outbound has left, you're in it deep. The culture is built on several Catch-22s. [/QUOTE]
