I instantly thought "Fedex custom critical" when I read the description. Welcome to the family
You can make great $$ there. My friends ran the white glove division and the expidited drivers made the same amount of $, few costs for truck, less downtime and easier to park! Good luck
Even easier. Because it's FedEx, you can park at any FedEx building, like what Walmart does. I see custom critical trucks scattered around my buildings yard all the time.

Advice on financing tractor trailer for my son....
My advice is to never cosign for anybody. You say your son ran into issues and his credit took a hit, meaning he was 30+ days late with some payments. How are you so sure this won't happen again?
If you're not able or willing to make the payments without him, you may want to rethink this.

If they're hiring, they need the bodies but they probably got flooded with apps. My advice to people when applying for these jobs is to use the key words they use in the qualifications and duties.
Today, people don't sit around looking at applications. The apps go through a software program that sifts applications looking for key words. Use the right key words it goes to the the top.

They've hired 18 so far. I think 100 linehaul drivers is what they're aiming for so they're in the top 20%.That's a pretty large place, we have just over 50 linehaul drivers. Might be awhile before they hit full capacity. Still kinda slow, I'm not even sure if they have work for me today.
I'm guessing they will have a lot of relay freight based on their location.
It provides easy access to Ohio, New England and New York. My understanding is that's the freight they're moving here. The building is supposed to go lite live on Monday.
The building is an old roadway building. It was in shambles when they bought it and from what I've seen they've definitely dumped a bunch of money into this place. It looks brand new.

Smart move, join a new terminal and gain seniority.
They've hired 18 so far. I think 100 linehaul drivers is what they're aiming for so they're in the top 20%.
What's the terminal code?
I'm not sure, but I think it's TNV. It's in Tannersville, PA. They have no freight yet as they opened yesterday and it doesn't show up on Google maps yet. It's a big building, though.

Sometimes the FedEx trucks want to fight.
It depends on the opco. I've had FedEx ground trucks refuse to move so I can merge. FedEx freight drivers will put it on cruise control and let it go.
Personally, I hate cruise control and never use it.
Banks, my condolences. It’s tough when those closest to you turn on you and betray you. Lol.
17.5 years of marriage and this is what she does to me smh. I'm tempted to put shaving cream in her bag.

You're cooked for 3 years unless you can get it dismissed or substantially reduced.
Being your first ticket is irrelevant. This isn't an inspection sticker or an out tail light. It's reckless driving and taken very seriously.

No, she's working in a customer service role. I thought about jumping ship too since it's a brand new building but I like where I'm at.
I'm also a little disappointed. I dropped her off this morning and ran into a bunch of my coworkers.... Traitors!
Unless they're going in to burn in it down for FedEx lol

I've experienced a lot of betrayal in my life, but none like this. My wife has done the unthinkable and taken a job with Old Dominion Freight Lines... I don't know what to do

Begining the process of becoming a Truck driver.
You have your sights set on 2 of the pickiest companies out here. TMC does not accept candidates with a DUI. I think prime has a 1 in lifetime policy.
Applications are typically only good for 30 days. Wait until you're ready to go before putting them in.
