Sorry, I just couldn't resist having fun with this. :+

Here is one for you about Fedex Custom Critical, A good friend of ours on Thursday abot 11pm at night had a very bad truck accident, in Kingmen AZ, his co-partner was taken to the hospital by life flight, He stayed with the truck until Fedex sent another truck to pick up the load he was carring. After the load was picked up. They never heard from Fedex Custom Critical White Glove Division again. The insurance adjuster took the driver to the hospital several hours later.
Another truck owner heard what happen and new they were stranded in AZ with no way to get home or save his equipment which we must carry, sent one of his own trucks to deadhead from Denver to Kingmen AZ to help out and transport his equipment home.
Fedex WOULD NOT HELP IN ANYWAY AT ALL. THEY WOULD NOT TRY TO FIND THE TRUCK IN DENVER A LOAD TO HELP PAY FOR FUEL. The company did not want to know anything.
So when you here Fedex Custom Critical apprecates there contractors. Now you know they DO NOT CARE ABOUT US, They will not help you or stand by you in any way,
THEY DO NOT CARE.:'( :'(

truck4305 1st POST

Kinda hard to believe this is how it was played out. Those of us that have been with FECC for any lenght of time , know quite well , they don't handle accidents in the fashion you've disclosed.

I was 30 mins. behind an accident last December involving a FECC T/T and a four wheeler. The safety dept. handled the situation extremly well and both drivers were treated with nothing but respect and thoughfullness.

NOPE, not for a second do i believe a serious accident was handled the way you decribed.

Being this was your 1st POST......reeks of the smell of fish

 

[davekc]

I would think there is more to this story. This is not typical of how Fedex handles accidents. Everything I have seen past and present has always been positive in that regard.

I could never see White Glove doing that. Mainly when a truck was in an accident. Really I can't see any of the Companies that do business on EO doing that. I know Tri-State or TST wouldn't because at one time I had trucks on with those companies. And FedEx has never done me like that in the 11 years with them. Always cared about me and my co driver.



If you listen to everything someone is crying about you might find out there the one's who started peeling the onion.

I have also benn with Fedex for a long time, the drivers that were in the accident have been with Roberts express and then went to Fedex for a total of 15 years, I am telling you Fedex CC would do nothing for either team, The driver who had the accident was with W/G. No from W/G has called him. Safety dept. said they could not do anything to get them home which came from the higher ups that they were sorry there hands were tied.
In the last 1 1/2 years tell me nothing has changed? A lot has changed. You can no longer speak to anyone, try taking a load to Canda after you except the load you are on your own. If you call in you get voice messages. You get no help if you have a problem with the load. Believe what you want, I am telling you if you have an accident YOU WILL BE ON YOUR OWN. x(

 

[Top2]

We have also been with FedexCC for a very long time. Yes there have been alot of changes and not all for the good. We have heard about the accident and yes it is true. Safety did get the insurance company involved right away. Yet FedexCC is not helping the team.
I do agree that people believe what they want and close there eyes when the truth is known. We were stuck in Canada for several days with a load the paper work the customer gave us was not right after we told Fedex and they said they would take care of it. Well they never did. we were left on our own working with agents at borded and the customer. The dispatchers do not know Canadain paper work anymore.
We were told it is not there job.I do agree FedexCC does not care about there contractors, but We use them for the money they still pay the best. nothing more or less. Its just business.

OH PLEASE.... Like wer'e all dumb enough to find any validity in your statements about FECC ??

There is absolutly no substance to your lame attempt to back-up the Arizona story.

Then, to try and add Canada crossing problems ?

1st POST such as yours and the other fellers are totally unbelieveable and viewed as nuttin more than BS.

Your story does not even come close to what I've experienced personally and what friends of mine have reported from accidents they had. My report is of a time Diane and I were driving down the NJ Turnpike and got a call from diapatch. Another truck, also on the turnpike, was out of fuel. Dispatch wanted to know if we could lend a hand. We did. Except for dispatch's call, we would have had no idea a sister truck needed help.

I don't want to stretch the help thing too far. FedEx CC is a large company and a very-corporate entity. You are known by your truck number first, and maybe by name and reputation later on as you work with folks over the months and years. If you want to be treated like family, a smaller carrier with a personable staff may be for you. If you want to be treated like a professional, FedEx is worth a look.

 

[ATeam]

The
>dispatchers do not know Canadain paper work anymore.

I beg to differ. If you accept a border-crossing load, it is first up to you to know what your responsibilities are and to know the border crossing procedures. That is not easily done as the procedures are complicated and frequently changing of late. So the thing to do is call dispatch and the broker WELL BEFORE you arrive at the border to learn what is supposed to happen, when, and who is responsible for what, and that everything is in good order. We do everything we can to get our border crossing ducks in a row and that process starts before we leave the dock.

We've hauled a number of border loads in the last year. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, FedEx dispatch has proven knowledgable and competent regarding Canadian paperwork. We have some border horror stories to tell, but those date back to our early days in expediting, when we were not as informed about border loads as we are now. The times we had troubles before related more to shipper, broker, or driver (us) shortcomings than dispatch.

 

[jackdixon_2000]

That accident story sounds fishy to me and so do the two new posters truck4305 and top2 who are probably one and the same. I have so much I could say about all this I really didn't want to get started.
As far as fedex not caring. They are part of a large corporation with rules and guidelines to follow. Within that structure are individual people (like RSE Rosie who I understand left reccently) She used to tell me she really worried about drivers when she dispatched them into bad weather. Then there are others that could care less, they are just doing there job.

Personally, I don't expect fedex to "help" me if I get into an accident, in fact I expect to get billed for deductables for physical damage, qualcom damage and cargo also. We are business partners not family. The drivers in the accident with supposedly 14 years with Roberts and White Glove, after all this time still don't have a credit card or financial means to get a room or transportation? I don't know, at this point if there even was an accident in Kingman or both sides of the story so thats all I have to say on that subject

Now, a couple of personal stories. Last winter as I was traveling thru Reno on my way to Salt Lake City, my mother called and informed me that her doctor had just informed her that she had inoperable terminal cancer. I was upset and wanted to get home and see her ASAP. I called dispatch and told em my situation and asked if there might be any trucks available in the Reno area to take my load. She said she was very sorry and would find someone. The only truck available
was an E unit in San Jose. He didn't want the load, being that it was snowing heavily over Donner and chains required to get to Reno, but being that it was an emergency agreed to do the transfer. When I was told that, I informed dispatch that one day latter gettin home would not make that big a difference and I would just stay on the load. But I did appreciate their compassion and willingness to get another truck to take my load.

Next story. On January 10th of this year, my best friend and Co-driver for almost 7 years suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I didn't expect any "help" from Fedex. It was a Friday evening on Jan 20th when I found him (His vacation time every year was Xmas to March 1.) On Saturday morning I called safety and told them what happened and left it at that. On Monday morning I got the calls from Contractor relations and my coordinator. I was asked if I was OK and if there was anything they could do for me. Again, I don't expect anything from them other then condolences. What was I supposed to ask for "yeah, send me a check" or "have a representative fly out from Green to hold my hand"? They did ask to at least send flowers and a card to my home, which I accepted.

What this boils down to, is that there are people within the organization that truly care and others that don't. Again, we are business patners not family. We need to be prepared for these emergencies in our business plan.

One of my trucks was involved in an accident last week in Harrisburg,PA.It was my drivers fault,fortunatly no one was injured.
I recieved a call from Saftey within 15 minutes of the accident,before the driver even called(now ex driver).
It was handeled in a business like manner,with assurance's from FEDEX that it would be investigated promptly,and I was not to speak to any third parties that may contact me.They would take care of everything,other then my deductable.
They asked how I would like to handle the deductable,I decided to send a check.I was offered payments from weekely settlements but passed.They are pro's,we are not numbers,and I believe,as a fleet owner,I am treated, 90% of the time, with proper respect and a positive,can do attitude by most in Green.

I had a truck in Ontario,CA last week that got stuck for 6 days.They had a family reunion that had been on the books for several months.They live in the Nashville area.I went to a contact of mine in Green,explained the situation,and was able to work out a split on fuel to get them home on time to make the reunion.

I guess I have made a few enimies on this forum,or at least 1 that I know of.While the truck in Ontario was on layover, FEDEX saftey got several "tips" from a "concerned citizen"regarding eratic driving on the part of my driver.This went on for 3 days.
The final straw was the "citizen"complained that the truck had a naked woman painted on the side of the sleeper.Once this complaint came in,saftey got aggitated and called me.They smelled a rat.They did a report on which trucks were in New Mexico and Ontario at the same time as my truck.They traced the information,and an investigation is under way.If the brain damaged driver and his partner would like to step up,I'm a forgiving sort.If we find out who it is through cell records,you may wish to talk with another company,as FEDEX has indicated to me that your contract will be terminated.
My Mother used to warn me that unless I did my studies,I might grow up to be a truck driver.Although my driving days are behind me,I'm proud of the choice's I have made to be in transportation.But there are some in this industry,as in all industries,that would be dangerous if they had activated brain cells.

The Kingman story and some of the other comments from the same source have given me some concern.

I cannot dispute or disprove the story about the aftermath of the wreck.

But I find it to be highly suspicious.

More specifically, I find it (and the other comments) to be completely inconsistent with the experiences of Marda and me.

FedEx CC is not a perfect company, and its employees are not perfect people.

Some of them do better than others.

A few of them occasionally act a bit dippy -- often due to their lack of experience with trucking at the operating level.

A few of them occasionally mouth off a little bit in ways which I find less than appropriate.

But the strong majority of them do extremely good jobs.

And they provide us with ample help, support, and encouragement -- usually in pleasant and friendly ways.

Yes, we start with each person as a number, but after the first two or three calls with the same dispatcher or other person, then we're Doc and Marda.

We've gotten very capable help with Canadian crossings.

A few times we've needed to do our own follow-up -- because they too are busy people who handle many questions for many drivers.

But follow-up is one of our own responsibilities.

Now let's compare experiences with urgent personal situations:

In 1996, while we ran an E truck for Roberts Express, one morning I suddenly had a major medical emergency -- one which landed me in a hospital in Chicago for several days.

The people in our company voluntarily cooperated with us in an incredibly good and supportive way.

A company man (among others) called us at the hospital, then he visited us there.

Because that day was my birthday, he showed up with a card and a vase of flowers.

The next day he returned to the hospital, then hauled us and our gear back to our truck at the old 76 truck stop in Monee (38 miles away).

During my recovery back at home in the following weeks, the company continued to cooperate with us in a most generous and sensitive way.

With all that in mind, I find it extremely difficult to believe that Kingman story, and I respectfully (but unequivocally) deny that that is typical of our company.

No, our company and its workers are not perfect.

But most of them do extremely well most of the time.

If someone wishes to criticize our company or any other, let that malcontent person identify a real problem, and then tell a credible, accurate report about an authentic event -- and tell the whole story.

Best wishes to all,

Doc.

If you left the shipper with bad paperwork, that's your fault. It only takes a few seconds to go over the invoice and make sure it's complete. Why did'nt you do that?

 

[Lrader]

I would like to tell you, you very stupid person, that I am the wife of the man who was in the Arizona accident. My husband owns the truck and the truck is no more because of the accident. Anyone is stupid as you and absolutely no brain in your head, apparently has no feelings of compasion and I can not wait for the day you get into an accident the same things happens to YOU, You very stupid person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Fed Ex CC does not help you-then you will have such a clue, you very stupid person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fed EX CC did not offer to help in anyway but they did call me several times to check on their medical status. The co-driver was life flighted to the hospital and my husband refused to go to the hospital at that moment because he felt so responsible to take care of the load for the company he works for--FED EX CC, until the load was transferred. Then he did get to the hospital. And it was the insurance adjustor that took him to the hospital, no one else from Fed Ex CC offered to help him. Nor did they offer to help the other driver coming in from Denver to be there with my husband. Thank you to that truck that is helping him because they are helping to ship his equipment back to our home on the east coast and have so kindly stayed with my husband and his co-driver over the weekend. And they are transporting them to Pheonix airport tomarrow morning so they can fly home tomarrow. These people have gone above and beyond and there are no words to express my sincerity to them.
My husband then called to talk to the people in charge (this morning) at Fed Ex CC to see if Fed Ex CC could get a load for this driver who is shipping our equipment back to the east coast. There response was "no" because it's policy not to skip trucks. You know, I know exactly how those people in New Orleans felt when no help arrived for them. What is happening to our country. its being run by a bunch of non-sypathic corporate jerks. But if the corporate "jerk" was in dire need-you rest assure they would have help immediately.

So you very stupid person and people who do not believe this story is true, well it's as true as i am alive to write this message to you.
