FedEx Freight reviews

Mid and upper management will ignore issues brought to them by freight handlers and then blame the freight handlers when the issue becomes a bigger issue.

The hierarchy of upper management was ridiculous. Far too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I was there 10 months April '22 through February '23 . The position is in my opinion, far more clerical than managerial. There are many responsibilities that keep you tethered to a computer sitting in a chair. I did not appreciate the lack of respect for work life balance. I did not appreciate the trips to Indianapolis to do things that to me were pointless. Sometimes I felt like the upper management just wanted to hear themselves talk. The shop was understaffed because the wages offered were not competitive. Tough to meet maintenance goals when you are missing 40% of the staff you are supposed to have. Much of the equipment we were working on was older with the issues assorted with high mileage trucks, trailers and dollies. I found the anticipated goals to be unattainable, and this creates tantamount stress.
