After 16 years with FedEx Freight I am moving on
Kind of scary for me, but after 16 years at FedEx Freight/Viking Freight and 25 years in the freight industry I am moving to another company that I will be able to finally use my degree at. I am starting as a driver, but the room for advancement in my area is greater and I have an acquaintance that will help me. The new job also pays substantially better.
Wish me luck. Robert

Thanks me too. I know as long as I stayed at FedEx Freight with the security as a driver I would not use my degree so this is kind of the jump I need to get a move on.

Glad someone's moving up in the world, most I hear of are in the other direction.

Thanks guys. Like I said it is pretty scary for me because all I have known since I was 15 is the freight business. Maybe I can use my head now instead of my back.

My buddy drives semi for FedEx. He is a little concerned about every driver having to be their own business, like a real company soon. Is that one of the reasons you left? Other than the pay. He has one of the best paying jobs around here of anyone I know. Glad you found something better. Jim

Yeah, he drives for FedEx ground. Seems strange that express and freight would be different. Jim
