As a new contractor, remember that your initial mileage might be limited. The score heavily considers your miles – points are divided by miles driven. With fewer miles, your score can be higher. Starting out, any problems could have a bigger impact since you lack miles to balance them. So, hit the ground running to avoid early setbacks that could hinder your business growth in the first year. #linehaul #linehaulcontractor #fedexcontractor
Your SRS score at FedEx is your safety rating on a scale of 1 to 5. It guides your opportunities for growth within the system. 5 is the best, 1 is the lowest. Aim for 5 to get what you want, work on 1 to improve. It factors in interactions with police, accidents, VEDR reports, and monthly performance. Safety matters to FedEx and its contractors! #linehaul #linehaultruckers #fedexcontractor
Over the past few years, there's been a notable shift in the safety spotlight at FedEx. Here's the scoop: we operate under their DOT numbers, which means if any mishaps occur, it falls under their watchful eye. What matters now is going the extra mile for safety, keeping our operations squeaky clean. #linehaul #fedexcontractor #linehaulsolutions
With the driver shortage intensifying, the competition for skilled drivers is fierce. Offering benefits has become a game-changer in this landscape. Whether it's about keeping your loyal drivers or attracting new talents, benefits play a pivotal role as a tool for retention and recruitment.

It's time to delve into the world of tires – specifically, the debate between super singles and traditionals. Picture this: super singles, those broader tires promising heightened fuel efficiency and reduced weight. But there's a catch. In the event of a breakdown, there's no quick fix like finding a nearby truck stop. 🛑

It all boils down to one golden rule – love your drivers like family. When you treat them right, bring them into your company fold, ensure timely and fair payment, and offer the right insurance coverage for their families, the magic happens.
And let's talk real talk – in a sea of similar companies, what sets you apart is how you treat your drivers. Sure, the industry wage might be within a narrow range, but drivers move for reasons beyond the paycheck. It's about reliable equipment, owner-operator relationships, and the respect they deserve.

While benefits come in second, they're no less important. Why? Because they're a key piece of the whole compensation puzzle. When employers invest in robust benefits packages, it's a win-win. Not only does it show drivers they're valued, but it also helps save them money.
