FedEx Express to UPS

[DriveInDriveOut]

Passed my Road test at UPS today to become a full time package car driver. I’m not sure if this is goodbye FedEx Express or good riddance?
FedEx has been an unrelenting let down, if they don’t want a strong workforce so be it. I won’t be on that sinking ship with Raj! Brown is hiring FedEx drivers like crazy, i advise all to apply. Cheers

Good luck.
You're about to find out just how badly you actually want to make real money. Hang in there.

Fedex Express is light compared to UPS package and you'll be let down if you think for one second that you wont deal w/ tons of BS in brown.

Fedex people have cried on here because they had to deliver in the dark!!!!! Crybabies. I am ashamed to say I used to work where they do. Grow a pair and do your job.

The BS is worse than the work most of the time

We’ve had several from our station take jobs at UPS. They’ve all done fine and make a lot more money.

Why don't you make a move? No reason to work somewhere if you aren't happy.

A lot of RTDs have left and they are loving it.

I could also say Fedex doesnt have me by the balls. I think most drivers on here would agree delivering in the dark isnt nearly as easy as delivering in the daylight. It sure as hell is alot harder to see addresses.
The midday shift after xmas might start at 2pm and run until 10pm.
Anyone prefer those kind of hours as a driver in Jan, Feb, and March in the midwest?

The only difference for me delivering in the dark / snow is more … bring it on

The difference between being a man and a boy. You do your job, no matter the conditions.

You have a job to do. You can't let the weather keep you from doing your job. It slows you down but you keep going.

Please no.
Most new hires or young people coming in to this type of job with the kind of hours I just described with half a brain would question the sanity of the midday shift. Everyone thinks its pretty stupid at my station, including the managers, engineer, and all the senior employees.
Imagine training someone on a new route in the dark.
Fn stupid.

There are stations that have PM rts that work 1400 till 2200. I had a friend in Louisville that had a midnight flight and had a 2200 cutoff for pu. Is the company supposed to eliminate that shift and tell shippers they can't ship after dark? You must be a newhire and didn't realize the company that hired you is a 24/7 operation.

Thats different, thats b2b. Ive already talked about this in the other thread. Im talking about resi stops, middays dont even do any pickups because we dont get back in time for the shuttle.

What's weird is you don't realize that you're the only person bitching and moaning in this thread.

Just laughing at the buttercup that is afraid of the dark.

So resi don't ship or get deliveries after dark in any city but yours? You must be a newbie.

You apparently live on a strict diet of fig mints of your imagination.

 

[Guitarman01]

This is my route.
After dark is one thing, still it would be stupid if it could be prevented (which it cant on midday), 10pm at night is another.
More stupid.
Be sure to click on that.
Express has mostly been out late at night during peak, not past that.
I think this whole midday thing is going to collapse come January.

God I wish.

Lol
You in for a rude awakening my friend

Why is that, country club? Are you the last of the tuff guys that can hack it.
I seen women UPS drivers, certainly if a monthly bleeder can hack it, it won't kill him.
