[QUOTE="HedleyLamarr, post: 4859057, member: 62232"] I have mentioned in another thread, my station is close enough to Memphis that some of our freight is trucked here from the hub. If I see that driver, I occasionally ask him about goings on in Memphis. Yes, staffing is still a massive problem. Amazon took a huge chunk of the handlers, Fedex increased pay to match them, and then Amazon raised their starting pay again. He said this is the first time in all the years he has been driving to Memphis that he has seen Fedex advertise jobs on billboards up there. Fedex used to own that town; they didn't have to advertise! Also, Amazon is building another huge facility in NE Mississippi. More workers will probably leave and go there once it is finished. I found out yesterday, that our local ramp is severely understaffed as well. We were missing some freight yesterday because they couldn't get it sorted in time. [/QUOTE]
