Would it pay more than your ADV of 5+15?
Well that trip at DL would allow you to be home in time for dinner with your family. You could even do one every day of the week and see your kids every night.
At FedEx even if you live in base you gotta leave your house at 0130 and then won’t get home until midnight. If you do it all week you aren’t ever going home even if you live in base. As a commuter with a shotgun line you have to commute in the night before and then go home the day after and touch an extra calendar day on both ends. Yeah, you can keep that extra 0:45 at industry trailing pay rates. Some of our families like to see us.
Your complete and utter refusal to acknowledge the shortcomings of FedEx scheduling borders on mental illness. You display a complete lack of awareness of how the rest of the industry operates.
