86er Posted August 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Darn! Lewis is retiring and I'm making a career change! (That was written by the Dept of Redundancy Dept!) Oh well, at least I'm not an old fart like him!!! I'm still with FedEx, but last Monday I moved from the Alpharetta station to the Atlanta airport ramp station to move into the 18 wheelers. I won't be going over the road, but rather driving the containerized freight out to the local FedEx stations and dropping/pulling trailers at customer locations. I'll be a swing driver, so I will be running all the different routes. One upside is, instead of climbing in and out of a delivery truck 60/80 times a day it will be 8/10 times a day. A lot easier on the knees! For the next couple of weeks I will be riding the different routes, then 40 hrs practice with a trainer b4 going to Memphis for 3 weeks of tractor-trailer school. School starts Oct 6th and, as I say, I will be there for 3 weeks so I will be looking for some riding/eating friends on the weekends! I'll do a M&E post when we get closer, but if you live in that area, keep me in mind. Oh yeah, after 6 years as a Tues - Sat employee I had the option to go Mon- Fri! Now I can start making more of the Saturday M&Es! Edited August 31, 2014 by 86er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Posted August 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 31, 2014 You and Bubba should consider becoming team drivers and go cross country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted August 31, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2014 Congrats on the new position Todd!! Sounds to me like you and Bubba are in for some real special times finally getting some weekend elbow room!! Personally, I dont think the verdict is out yet as to whether or not Lewis is actually retiring.. He just doesnt seem like the type of person who can handle hiding from those Honey Do lists..
