From what I understand the pay per mile is pretty high ($2 something) but the amount of miles you'll run may be quite questionable.

I HAVE STARTED WITH 'EM A WEEK AGO. I'VE MADE $18 HUNDRED SO FARE. I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL. SO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THEM. I ASKED AROUND OTHER DRIVERS BEFORE I STARTED. I HEARD GOOD THINGS. NOW I TALK DRIVERS EVERY DAY
AND I ONLY HEAR BAD THINGS. THESE GUYS WITH FEDEX FOR 4-8 MONTHS.

DO NOT GO WITH FEDEX CUSTOM CRITICAL !!!

1.92 or whatever they are saying now its not true, waiting times are long for a load, talked to a husband and wife team recently who spent 3.5 days tryin to get out of Denver, A'lot of dead miles which they dont tell you about. loaded miles pay pretty well but dead miles bring that average down a whole lot + the wait time, tell them to go to hell...oh yeah, i forgot to mention Canada runs as well :roll:

I qiut long time ago in talking to the drivers, 99.9% of what I have been told turned around as not true..!!

I think you just have to figure out if their system is works. I have sat for over 3 days in Texas and Vegas waiting on reloads. I've also deadheaded 500 miles to loads.

However, this isn't the first time I've heard about FedEx CC being like this :?

I'm with Bandit on this one. You can't jump ship b/c you have to wiat and deadhead a bit. Anything in any sort of specialized freight hauling (heavy haul, HHG etc.) I've sat in slow areas such as Tacoma Washington for almost a week, then had to deadhead alittle bit, but I had just emptied out an $18k linehaul, and was loading a $13k linehaul that was going 1k miles. That's $13.00 a mile, or about $8.00 a mile paid to the truck. That makes it okay and the waiting isn't as big of a deal. You can't expect to drop a load, turn around and be re-loaded and running again within the same day.

Call Panther2 and ask if this is how they run. They do the expedited thing too, for (advertised) similar pay.
