[QUOTE="FedUpRTD, post: 1632786, member: 42499"] Years ago when I became and RTD, FedEx used to put a clause in your offer letter stating that if you left the company within 24 months of training, then you owed them x,xxx amount of dollars for your training. It seems that FedEx removed that clause several years back because of legal issues. As far as an RTD footing the bill for their training up front, I have never heard of that happening. My location has a RTD trainer based here, so we get trainee RTD's here from all over the country. I have yet to hear one of them say anything about paying for their training costs up front. You might start to see more FT RTD jobs in the near future. FedEx has had a very tough time hanging onto PT RTD's over the past few years. My location has been quite the training ground for trucking companies in my area. We are always down 6-10 PT RTD's because they are always quitting. My shift alone has been short 3-4 drivers for almost a year. They hire replacements, but they seldom stay more than two years now. The main reason for the PT RTD's leaving FedEx is that they can start off FT elsewhere and at the same or higher wage than what FedEx pays. Why wait years for a full-time job to open up at FedEx when you can get one somewhere else at the same or better pay?. I don't blame them one bit for quitting. [/QUOTE]
