US Postal Contractor and Trucking Company Gone From Frederick

Blue Mountain Express is allegedly not in business anymore reports an ex employee.

I worked for Blue Mountain Express running a seasonal US Mail route for the Christmas season of 2007/2008.
That job was useful to me as I've been driving straight trucks since 1983 but I've only had a Class A tractor trailer licence since 2004, I wasn't near as good at backing up as I wanted to be and the mail run gave me some badly needed practice in backing up to a dock.

I've backed up to docks before, it just took me longer than some of the other drivers, what made mail different is we had a strict time schedule to keep. I could get to the mail warehouse 5 or 10 minutes early and have it take me 20 minutes to back in (and back in straight) making me late for my scheduled pick up.



It was really cool to have a good job ($19 an hour) that was local to Frederick Md, I could even ride my bike or walk there, it's a loss to Frederick Md CDL truck drivers to loose a job in Frederick.
The law of supply and demand is what determines how much we make as drivers, with fewer choices, that puts a downward pressure on salaries.
