Yes it’s true. They are doing the hiring referral bonus in Indy as well, across most if not all opcos. I know because I was offered this hiring incentive directly from management as a fedex employee that works for a different opco then express.
Thank you for answering my question.
Voice tracking and automation allowed underperforming stations to last longer.
Don't know, don't care.
Russian ?
And why can’t they change the business model? There are 2 things we know for certain.
We’ll see soon enough. How many express guys/gals are ready to work for a contractor? That’s gonna be the future of the company.
How many contractors would want to hire former express guys? I’ve hired a few over the years and they don’t work out, too soft.
Soft because we were trained to follow DOT rules? Soft because we don’t keep all the doors open with the truck nose first and running at every stop? Maybe it’s soft because we don’t release wine shipments to little kids or leave guns without signatures idk.
Soft because trampolines and bunk beds suck.
They suck if you actually deliver them to the house or apartment. I’ve only seen the Ground guys leave stuff like that at the end of driveways and outside the entrances to senior living facilities .
Well if that’s all you’ve seen, then I guess that’s how all Ground drivers do it. You do realize how ridiculous that sounds?
It would cost Express a fortune to take on all the assets and operational costs that are currently borne by contractors should Express try to absorb Ground. And should it go the other way around, where are you going to get the contractors to take on the Express freight when there are barely enough to handle the existing Ground freight?
Yes, in order to produce a lean, efficient business model that can be sustained. Do you feel threatened by that?
