From experience, I've been working since 1992, never make any sacrifices for an American company. Take your holidays. Make no sacrifices for any company that steals your wages to hand them to shareholders as quarterly dividends and share buy backs.
I am a retired Fedex Freight City Driver and I average about 25-30 stops a day. There were about 12-15 deliveries and about the same with pickups. My tailer could hold about 22-24 pallets and if one or more customers shipped 6-8 pallets on one p/u, this could reduce the number of stops because my trailer would fill up faster. This is when you notify the dispatcher to send backup to p/u from your other customers. Retired 1995 (28 yrs) from the United States Army and from Fedex Freight in 2010 with 15 yrs of service. Be Safe out there!!
Signed my offer letter and on my second day waiting for drug test. Starting as a full time courier M-F. Seems like I’ll be at a good station and everyone’s been pretty cool so far
(i could be wrong) but whatever route you end up on will determine if youre m-f. my route is m-f but other routes are tues through sun etc. mine is m-f because thats the route.. 95 percent businesses, deliveries and pickups
@@sp00f34 my station has both T-S and M-F routes available and they said I can choose. They said that’s pretty rare for starting out to be able to choose M-F
@@matthewp9740How much do you get paid? If I was the boss and I saw you on FedEx property with your ball cap on backwards you'd be looking for a new job!
I just started FedEx express. In Canada they pay us 20 cad in the Toronto area which is way more expensive than any place in texas. Now I really feel like moving to the USA.
I work for FedEx Ground in Indiana. I usually have 100-130 stops per day. I make $20/hr as I just started 3 weeks ago. However I have a rural route. So my stops can be miles between each other. So sometimes it takes me 10 hours to finish. But I love the job though.
don't go to FedEx ground ! instead got to school and get you CDL ! FedEx ground in Florida is 650 a week after taxes! you have to load and organise your own truck!
Just watched your video…got a job offered and went thru DOT physical and got DOT medical certification…so I will be working for FedEx Express as a swing driver and my pay 23 an HR… I had to look up what exactly is a swing driver…now, I know…. Thanks for the Information
I worked in a factory and starting pay is $15-16 an hr FedEx here in Wisconsin is $18.50 an hr that's pretty good. And I'm currently in the background check stuff rn. So happy to be having a easy-going job.
@Alex oh its shit. Got a country route. And it fucking sucks. I gotta drive an hr to work and back so most nights I'm home by 6-7pm and I usually have 70 stops and 50-100 packages.
I did FedEx Home Delivery. We were paid 100 bucks a day with no benefits. I covered 4 towns by myself. It was nothing to have 250 packages and 200 stops. I worked with guys that had 300-400 packages a day. I really loved the job. I liked the freedom. The contractor however made life difficult and turnover was constant. It seemed like every week, they were hiring or someone had quit.
@Arturo Moreno absolutely. Oh well. Life lesson for you. When you're young ans dumb, you are happy just to be working. You don't always think about the rest of it
That can’t get days off policy crap is some BULL. 😒 I hope you’re having a good day! 😜 FedEx needs to fix their trucks. 😏 Got you in there melting. 😒😏 Like button hit!
Right now I’m working at FedEx ground. My route is pretty easy, I’m usually out by 3:30-4pm But right now I’m waiting for a position to open at express for the benefits 😂. I’m hoping for a morning full time position, but it’s not looking too bright 😂 Almost all the positions I’ve seen open at express is Night Shift courier I’ll just wait it out for now
Yeah probably want to wait it out lol 😂 but that sounds like a pretty good route your on! I like my route to the only thing is it’s on the pm side. I want to work mornings but all there ever is to bid on is trash routes!!!
I’ve been part time for over a year I get anywhere from 6-12 hours depending on things. Sometimes I’m done by 12 and gone and that’s nice but then I’ll have to bust ass some time in the week and find someone who wants help to get enough hours. I’ll do some reload like today for extra time so I made 10 hours with a 2 hour break lol. I’ve helped out on all routs at my station. Some routes I’ve done the complete route. So it’s kinda like I’m a swing except in an overflow kinda way. I’m fine with that unless I get my own route that allows me to take a break so that I can go to my gym. That’s not happening anytime soon
Part time for almost 8yrs now. I will never go full time. They own you if you are full time. I work my 6 hours a day and go home. They can't make you stay over 6 hours. With full time they can make you work Saturday's(6 days a week).
@@budmike66 yeah I heard about that. We had 5 quit between last month and this month all different reasons and stuff one 23 yr old girl told the DM to go f himself as she quit. He immediately took her off pay role that day. So we’re likely going to be pulling in some ground guys. I like having control over my time. Not so much where I’m going but I control my time. Next I’m looking into RTD part time but it’s an hour drive from where I live and I live 15 min from the station.
@@nickgrayy full time has treated me okay! I will admit peak sucked because of working Saturdays. I’m on my 8th week of working out 5 days a week. I wake up around 530 6am and go to work after. Head back home around 830pm and do it all over again 😂
I drive for FedEx ground in Fayetteville NC and we get paid by the day. 135-145 depending on how long you been there I guess. I run about 130 stops almost everyday. Do I think the pay is worth what I’m doing… heck Nah. But I’ll suffice until I finish school.
@@kokidchaz4790 express gets paid hourly with less packages stops and package unless you running a business route for express then you tend to have more of a “heavy” route then ur average 60-80 stops for an express driver
@@kokidchaz4790 and as for ground you are an independent contractor and also get paid salary you tented to have 80-120 stops per route with 180-240 packages in a truck on a daily basis also with pick ups on top of your stops as well
Personally I don't feel fedex should be allowed to handle mail just now a fedex delivery driver throws fragile packages over a 4 1/2 ft tall fence when I put a brick pad with signs to leave it in front of the fence then the guy starts laughing about it as he walks away I will never allow fedex to deliver anything to my house ever again.
-health -401k -dental -vision -people help -health care spending account -prescription -depending care reimbursement account -life insurance I just read off my paper they gave me hope this helps!
@@matthewp9740 Depends they treat everybody different even though they say they dont could be your first few weeks only or it could be like my case whenever theyre short dock workers theyll put me on the dock 4 hours then finally they send me out to make deliveries
Here's a question I got for you: have any family members, besides your partner (or girlfriend), who works at FedEx as well? My dad worked for FedEx Express for over 30 years straight and my older cousin formerly worked for FedEx.
I am the first lol nobody that I know does delivery besides my girlfriend. I told her to get out of the last job she was in and come join me lol. Since I’ve been a delivery driver for about 6 years I’ve learned that it’s the job that keeps me from hating my job!
Yo man I was just called for a 4am to 10am shuttle driver position for airport I’m assuming do you know anything about this before I go for this tour of the facility??
Can you ask your hiring department or your HR department how does it work from since I'm a FedEx ground package channel how would it work to move over to FedEx Express to become a delivery driver
It only took me less then a week to get on with fedex they give 5 days get ur drug test and dot done I started last week now driving I'm on my own I make salary one I'm at
I accepted offer letter but then my application moved to “inactive status”. I did drug test and background test and it’s been a week I haven’t heard back. Does that mean I didn’t get hired? I really want to work for FedEx but my application going from active to inactive status has me worried. Is that normal?
At express they provide you with a lot of stuff. You can only order once a month but it’s free, now for ground I’m not sure but for what I’ve seen, they only have limited uniforms.
Won’t matter if you have experience unless they desperately need drivers. If he was to leave FedEx & go to UPS, he’d have to start from the bottom & work his way up again. UPS is also much harder with the work, and harder to get into as a Driver due to Seniority & signings of ppl wanting to be drivers. You’d just have to be lucky & it typically depends on the HUB you’re stationed at. I had a friend who worked for UPS & it took him 3yrs (Don’t know how he did it) just to get a drivers position.
This job is horribly underpaid. I didn't have to do any videos or anything. Feared for my safety during training b/c the girl I rode with drove like a maniac. Some days werent too bad but your working with drama queens and trucks are rough. Its a job that's about it and from my experience 140 a day b4 taxes is not worth it. Your never going to get wealthy
I have helped out before but maybe once in the year I have been here. There our some routes that require you to help out as well because they don’t have much.
I'm in Dallas and they have offered me $19.65/hr PT Tues-Sat, 630am-1230p. I have a FT job as well and told them I can't work past that time and they seem ok with it. I'm just wondering how hard it is or stressful it is to deliver packages.
Part time is pretty easy!!! And it can be stressful if you have never done it! Most times it’s super stressful at the start but give it a month and it’s the easiest thing ever!
I'm from garland and I drive fedex ground at the sherman hub. My route is in Kingston and Madill Oklahoma. I try to finish my drive in 5 hours which is $30 a hour
Doesn't get paid that much because you are contractor I could have worked for them but no I'm not working for One flat rate when I can make double that money with the post office
Working for a contractor that pay per stop I can make up to 350 a day. 200 a day on regular month. but I’m just hear to pay for my cdl hazmat endorsement. Then I’m out.
Ground gets all the heavy boxes. A lot more stops 150 to 300 stops a day. Ground is like Amazon(DSP) makes less per hour. Some have benefits some don't it depends on your DSP.
