Fedex Line Haul

Give this a read, I'm not advocating buying his service but it seemed like a decent write up on the subject
Here's a reason why are people selling their FedEx routes.

 

Yes you can hire a driver and he run the truck and you not be around. I worked for them along time ago my contractor wasn’t around unless needed be. He would get the call from dispatch. I would call in or dispatch would call me directly.

 

Owning a truck is NOT a passive investment. I wouldn’t do this unless you’ve been around trucking for a while, and are comfortable with all the things that can make you or break you.

Remember you’re buying the back end of a horse, you’ll still have to feed the front end, and pickup everything that comes out from under the tail.

If you’re an investor there’s safer places to put your money. Good luck!

 

If you are going to hire drivers , I think I can help you out. Having observed FedEx contractors and employees for years, this suggestion will help make the hiring process easier.


Dear Potential Employee, please answer the following questionnaire:

1. Are the Love’s fuel island pumps your reserved parking spaces?
2. Are you willing to drive 75 mph no matter the traffic or weather conditions?
3. Do you prefer to stop in the median or run off the shoulder?
4. Is the center lane divider merely a suggestion?
5. Are pretrips annoying and unnecessary?

Look for a driver that answers yes to all these, and it will be a smooth transition.

 

You forgot the number one quality

When, not if, you lay the truck on it’s side will you be able to block both lanes and both shoulders, not just run out in the median and just flip the back trailer..

If the answer yes just hand him the keys.

 

Scary how true these are... very very few fed exes are more than window licking steering wheel holders..

 

last wednesday i got passed by a fedex contractor at the 151 mm in adverse weather conditions. he/she managed to position the truck on its side, facing oncoming traffic, 100’ off the road, in a field...all by the 131 mm. i wasn’t even mad about it, kind of impressed actually.

hammer down.

 

That’s unfair. They also possess the ability to fog a mirror.
