Yes, FedEx Express pilots, to my knowledge, are the only union employees under the FedEx umbrella. The pilots understandably want to be on the same payscale as UPS and other cargo companies. FedEx Express hates unions. When I worked there three years ago, we were told to avoid any attempt from someone to get us to join a union. They said it was bad for business. After leaving FedEx, I found out just how much more UPS package drivers make. They start off at closer to 25 dollars. Where a FedEx pakcage driver TOPS OFF at about 22 per hour. That is just an unreal pay difference for doing the exact same job. That made me believe in unions. Now, if I can just get into one of those purdy UPS or FedEx birds, I'll have it made. 8)

 

I work for SAIA. SAIA requires one year prior trucking experience.

I run linehaul at night M-F. All terminal to terminal, all drop and hook. About 95% doubles.

Very little dock work. An occasional work off at a dark terminal. I have had maybe 5 or 6 in 2 years.

Good pay, good bennies. Slip seat well used daycabs.

 

Stupid question.. You dont run on HWY 277 from Abilene, to Wichita Falls do ya? I see lots of SAIA trucks on 277. Just curious. Told ya, it was a stupid question. :P

I run linehaul for SYSCO. I run from the Falls, to Lubbock.
