Re: Disgruntled FEDEX CC st8 truck drivers.....Where are they gonna go?? Landstar?? Both carriers mentioned are great companies. Are either of those two carriers excepting trucks into there fleets? Will they be able to quickly absorb them and keep them moving? It is not just a learning curve...

Had a load from Savannah to MN dry run yesterday. In SC on dry run status for 30 hours. In service for 8 1/2 days. Completed 2 runs for 1050 miles. Slow does not describe this last week. Sent from my SCH-S738C using EO Forums mobile app

Can I change my name to OntarioBanVans? Sent from my SCH-S738C using EO Forums mobile app

What do you like or dislike about the new flat rate pay plan? I like, All tolls paid Hazmat pay Dry run pay All miles paid (no more 50 free deadhead) I dislike, Minimum load pay (I don't think it pays enough) Deadhead pay rate (it will prevent long deadheads but is better than relocation pay)...

How do you split accessorials? Liftgate, labor, HAZMAT, etc. All those will add up too.

Great. Now we have two different answers from the same hotline.

I got the same answer from the hotline. Dispatchers will no longer have the authority to change the pay

Zorry are you OK? I think he fainted.

I received some more info from the special number we can call. All accessorials will still be paid, lift gate, pallet jack, labor, etc. Branding bonus will still be paid. No negotiating for WG or surface.

That's what the letter says. No more negotiation. I received this from a FedEx employee as clarification. No change at all for WG division trucks except that there will be no negotiation starting June 1. Surface trucks will be on flat rate effective June 1, if they sign the flat rate pay...

Oops, my bad. You can stay on percentage but there will be no negotiating. I guess most of the loads we are offered are paying less than flat rate without negotiating.

You only have another year if you are WG. After June 1st you can stay on your percentage contract but all loads will pay the flat rate. No negotiation.

In November 2011 we left FedEx and went to Landstar. Although Landstar is a very good company we came back to FedEx after 8 months. We were making more per mile at Landstar but we were making less money because we weren't getting enough runs to keep us busy. Without a DOD clearance there just...

I was interested too. Didn't any EO members attend?

8 cents a mile X 120,000 miles = $9600. But, I am sure we will get "more miles".

Wow, with 20% deadhead I'm only going to lose $9361 for the same number of miles under the new pay plan.

I have a liftgate, blankets, pallet jack, furniture dolly, etc. I am WG qualified having been TVAL for a fleet owner for a year. 100% on time pick up and delivery for over 5 years. 3 or 4 Purple Promise awards. No accidents, violations or CSA points, ever. There are no slots for a non TVAL WG...

The tide may be changing. It used to be us lowly surface trucks would get the opportunities that WG declined. Now WG will get the opportunities that surface declines since the dispatchers can still negotiate with them. All those nice runs to nowhere with lots and lots of deadhead. Or those nice...
