I don't speak Russian, but I think he is saying "BS, Big Scam".
I got one a few years ago had to sign a form and now I fudge my on/off duty times from that time on...Do you guys even run into HOS violations?

Well, just short of my year anniversary I quit Express and moved to Freight. A 30% increase in pay and full-time hours was all it took to entice me.
It's hard to fill a truck with envelopes.Nope - no sarcasm at all. I genuinely didn't know and was just curious - never heard that expression. Thanks for the explanation.

Face it. Start putting drivers out there for 14 hours a day, you're looking at a lot of problems.

Not sure. I'm working nights I do know that. But I expected as much being low man on the totem pole (again).How are the hours over at freight mainly nights?
Just one year?
Yikes!
At least you will have the exact same crappy benefits at freight.Yup. Sad thing is I really like my station. Gotta do what I gotta do though. Ironically, having no pension and a portable 401K makes it much easier to move on![]()

You should stick to facts. When you go off the deep end you just look silly and it's no wonder institutions like CSM don't want more in depth interviews with you.Nice! Pravda had nothing on FedEx PR. Maybe they hired some ex-Pravda/KGB types after the fall of the USSR.

I'd rather cut my own balls off than work for FedEx any longer than necessary.But at least now I can *afford* the crappy benefits - LOL!
Should've went over to UPS freight. Better pay and benefits including a real pension.But at least now I can *afford* the crappy benefits - LOL!

The p700s are over 10k lbs in my hub, which put those drivers to stay in the 70 hour HOS rules... Yea, I noticed those managers running around checking the GVWR on each route and jotting them down, which made me question what was going on
Only a few cargo vans, standard height & bubble tops, and maybe a handful of sprinters fall under 10k lbs so those drivers can opt to enter their on/off duty times for real???
I've been at ground a long time, never seen a pre trip, post trip inspection done by any driver. Lunch breaks and overtime non existent. Holiday Pay, maybe one contractor pays it same thing as vacation. It's a lousy place to work. If your a contractor and want to treat your drivers fairly you would go bankrupt.
