I like my Linehaul job. Doubles and triples.. Home every day, weekends and holidays off and make about 2400-2600 a week. It's night work but I wouldn't have it any different. 468 miles a night, 3-4 terminal stops. Solo driver. Cha-Ching...
Peninsula in Oregon. It's the wait time, fueling up, long box drop n hook credit that adds up on top of the regular pay. Mostly hiring out of Portland Oregon terminal. 2 yrs cdl experience required. I got let go out of a smaller terminal. But I work for Saia now. They pay more per mile but kinda cheap on their wait time. Don't pay for fueling or long box drop and hook. But they do pay well and we are hiring all over. Portland Oregon. Eugene OR (My terminal). I make about 2100 to 2200 a week now but I'm ok with it
I just left a FedEx ground today. Just so everyone knows, team isn't for everyone. It's hard to get sleep with the truck bouncing around and it's worst if you're with someone who doesn't know how to drive. My first teammate didn't like whitey to much and always had something smart to say. So that only lasted about 2 weeks. The next guy was cool, we got along for the most part, but he was always having fights with his girl to the point he was screaming on the phone and banging his hands on steering wheel waking me up. The breaking point is he was always watching tv shows on his phone while driving and one day hit the breaks so hard I flew out of the bed and hurt my arm. The next day I was on my 30 minute break trying to get some sleep cause he had kept me up the night before yelling at his girl. I was only sleeping for 10 minutes and boom they start up again. So when he got out of the truck to go the bathroom and I put his stuff on the sidewalk and left. Teams isn't for everyone. It was a good paying job, but my safety and peace of mind are more important
I agree. It’s been a rough 3 weeks since my start with FedEx ground team. I wouldn’t mind it terribly save the fact that I’m only earning around $1k take home for 5-6 days out. 👎🏽
Ima solo local driver for fedex ground based in GA. I currently work 5-6 days a week 99% DROP AND HOOK. Gross Pay ranges from 1450-1750 a week. So yearly salary ranges from 76k-83k and im home every night. Not a bad gig IMO.
Former driver at FedEx ground NJ. Must add another necessary requirement. Doubles/Triples. Must lift more than 150 lbs. dolly weighs 2k -2500lbs. You have to learn how to maneuver it on the pinto hook. Dolly adds 4 ft to length of connection. Backing lead trailer to even up with dolly to 2nd trailer. 25 ft pug trailer moves little quicker. 4 pieces (tractor, lead trailer, dolly, 2nd trailer. Once connected all is good driver like it’s 53ft. Must make sure lines are connected from tractor to 2nd trailer. Crossed chains from dolly to lead trailer. Pinto hook locked. You don’t want to driver and pinto hook not connected major issue and you will be fired. Hard as hell to redo but you have to drop 2nd trailer unhook dolly. Realign. Pinto hook crossed chains. Pull test. Let’s Go!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Many of our unassigned team drivers earn over $100k per year out of Northern California. My average weekly gross as a driver was $2,010. Home every week for a reset. New equipment. 67cpm + paid layovers. Paid holidays. Peak season bonus. There’s always extra work to do for those looking to maximize earnings.
Thank you for everything that you do Mother Trucker! I am in the process of going through a background check to get hired for fedex Ground myself doubles triples! I passed the test a week ago call them and him going through the hiring process I think it will be a good fit for me and thank you for all your advice appreciate your brother!🚛😎✊💯
I use to work for Fedex Ground the thing is like he said you’re not really working for fedex but for the contractor, some could be good or some can just be fucking jerk & try to overwork you for shitty pay 😊 Thanks Al for always being there for all of us in the Trucking Industry
I drive for Fedex Ground. Running solo’s and my pay is around $1,400-1900/week 2,500-4,000/week. I run out of Independence, KY and Columbus, OH. That pay is after taxes.
Skip Fedex Ground and shoot for FedEx Freight. Ground has zero benefits/ 401k. Zero experience is required at Freight if you work part time on the dock then apply for the drivers apprentice program when an opening becomes available.
I’m a package handler and this one truck broke the entrance door to the warehouse and all the package handlers including myself on Lunch break saw it happen
That's not a lot of money for being over the road. I drive for Pepsi. I'm on track to make about $63k this year. Home every night and off every weekend.
It’s perfect for the guys who want to get going fast That’s It!! No vacation, no sick time, low pay, no Retirement, $400/wk insurance, no breakdown pay, no overtime pay, no shift differential pay, no holiday pay, work holidays@regular pay, No Joke! Stay in vocational school, Get a skilled trade or do something Union. Thank you.
@@TheGnrlee I was making $1,200 gross a week, home every night with a shitty contractor. Now I quit FedEx and making $2,550 gross a week, still home every night, plus all kinds of benefits. If I went union I’m pretty sure gross would be the same, but I would take home a lot more.
If u get a dedicated route u could make more. I ran from Rialto CA to Hartford Connecticut down to Dallas and back to Cali. That was over 6,000 miles a week I would gross a little over 1,800 a week and take home about 1,500 hundred a week. Some weeks were less cause we would get back late due to weather and have to take a shorter run the next week to Portland or Oklahoma
@@killincesar that was years ago I don’t work there anymore. At the time I was really happy with the pay I don’t really compare myself to others as far as pay I just go where I am happy and at the time it served it’s purpose.
Fedex ground team here We run wild out of orlando, fl 68 cpm split we run between 5k and 7k miles a week. With 5k miles we take home about 1400 to 1500 a week
I work for fedex ground contractor and i gross about 1875 Take Home 1500 Sometimes 1900 and Take Home 1600 On A Dedicated Run From CT To Tennessee Home Every Other Day and Still Home For 2 Days
I just got hired to FedEx ground strait out of school. You have to go to a fed ex approved school, in order to do so. I did. Little hack. Get your 3 months experience in and you can do the same exact job with US Express for 5-9 cents more per person. Fed Ex contracts out to them too. With FedEx I’m getting .27cpm. At 3 months I’ll go to .30. I’m based in SoCal.
I have a guy that pays teams .68cpm too start with fedex in socal out of fontana ca i think.. 27 cpm is too low.. and i wouldn't dare go with us xpress they advertising 80cpm all over the internet but it sounds like a scam honestly nobody paying 80cpm for teams except ups once your maxed out or if you find a good owner operator and drive there trucks.. new drivers make sure too do your research fedex is a good job.. doubles is where the industry seems too be headed making the most highest pay from the research ive done it was tankers but not so much anymore everyone wants you too have your doubles now from what i see.. heavy haul pays good but not much better if better at all over tankers, doubles... usually you need 1-2yrs experience too make 70-100k plus in this industry..
@@cryptonator1988 i never liked the idea of cpm. With all due respect to otr drivers,i see it this way. What if you get stuck in the freeway because of an accident for hours. All that time is not paid? Then your also stressing to get on the road to rack up miles so you are always hurrying up. I get paid hourly,drive no more 30miles max and avergage 900-1300weekly. Only down side is i dont much drive time😅ironic isnt. Sure i miss the hwys but im in no hurry or stressing. Import and export air freight for a second party thru fedex too.
I work for a Fedex contractor myself. Your pay varies on the contractor you work for and their pay scale. To me the video had a lot of inconsistencies. Apparently that was that particular individual’s pay. Not trying to throw any shade but he got with the wrong contractor. I came on with Fedex a little less than 3 months. I was able to do a training under a contractor. I have never been paid less than $1000 a week as a newbie inexperienced driver working with Fedex. Example: the first contractor I was with my pay was an average of $1200 a wk. That was good to me because I am fully aware that when you’re new to trucking your checks are going to be short due to your lack of experience but my experience was different and I felt blessed to be making anywhere from $1000 on a bad week to average of $1200 a week take home. My checks started getting short around $1000 a week due to a bullshit driver they put me with after 3 months. Yes, it is true that Fedex wants you to have at least 1 yr of experience but if you have less than 6 months of experience which was the case with me some contractors will take you on and train you with Fedex approval. Training is 6 months with the contractor. (1) You have to complete so many hours driving (I don’t know what they are). (2) Your trainer has to document that he observed you so many hours a week which I’m not sure what they are. If these things aren’t completed by the end of the six months Fedex could require that your training be stretched for another 3 months to complete the hours. Now with all of this in mind my first trainer told me that I should be making at least $1500 a week once I reach a yr of driving experience. If not then I need to move on to another contractor. I am currently with a different contractor whom I’ve been with for about 7 months now. My pay is a lot more. The perks with this contractor is lovely so with that in mind it does vary on the contractor you’re with because after all the contractors are the ones in charge of what you’re paid. Fedex does not dictate how much the contractor pay a driver. Once you’ve passed 6 months of experience you’re free to move on to another if you’re not happy. Driver’s do it all the time. Once you’re in the Fedex system it’s a lot easier for another contractor to pick you up. When you first try to get in it can be a kind of lengthy process but it’s also up to the contractor to do their due diligence. I started out at the Rialto hub but now currently at the City of Industry hub. YOU CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY WITH FEDEX BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE CONTRACTOR YOU ARE WITH. Now with all of this in mind I have found the benefits to be terrible so it all depends on you, what you’re looking for and what you want to make of it.
It depends who's your contractor in FedEx Ground.. There are different routes, You Have local, dedicated Otr and Regional and Last what you cal thel run wild that's call open route.. My route is dedicated is from Woodbridge, NJ to Rialto, CA pays $2200 after taxes $1675 4 days on the road and Three days off Teams.. Open routes pays $2800 -$3200.. I've seen some of the video pay stubs.. Whomever the contractor that paying like that..Quit..
I’m currently working for a contractor for fedex driving local. Home every day in LA making 1,200 a week much better than when I did otr for a different fedex contractor making 900 a week. Currently I’m working 45-55 hours a week driving 300-400 miles a day
I run wild, i make 1700 plus more a week, u gotta hustle, 8f ur making less than 1700 your not working hard enough. I run with my wife and were bringing 2k plus a week. U aint gonna make money there sitting and waiting for them to call u, gotta hustle. Plus location is everything, Texas is the best place to operate, Nashville and Orlando hub is super busy. Again u have to hustle, its all bout how you run.
I don't know where you got your numbers... maybe they are outdated. My son works for Warrior logistics out of Dallas. He is a wild OTR team driver. He makes 66 cents a mile split. About the lowest number of miles in a week he has ever had is around 4500 miles. Usually it is between 500 and 6000 miles. His top week was around 6500 miles. That means he grosses between $1480 and $1980 per week. He is looking forward to peak season where he hopes to get some 7000 and 8000 mile weeks. The company only donates about $90 per week for health insurance. He has a family and the family has some medical insurance so he pays $340 per week for the best insurance plan United Medical has. Last week he still cleared $1400. Now, he is over the road and is a runner so he routinely stays out for a month. I have seen him stay out for 10 weeks. He is thinking about staying out for the entire peak season which is November 4th to January 5th to maximize his money and bonuses. If you are a FEDEX team driver and you are getting less than 66 cents per mile or your a solo driver and getting less than 60 cents a mile, you should consider switching. My son is a team driver but he likes it. He seems to have an unusual gift for forming genuine friendships with his co-drivers and in fact he insists on calling his co-driver his partner. He likes team driving because he didn't like being held at a shipper for up to 18 hours. He didn't like having to sleep on the shoulder of the road because there wasn't a space at a truck stop. He didn't like waiting 2 hours for a trailer washout. In fact when he was a solo reefer driver 20 to 30 hours of his week were wasted either waiting at a dock or at a trailer wash. Even at 50 cents a mile that is $600 to $900 a week he wasn't making. Still wanna run solo?
@@iconquer1672 I understand. However, Even if you make more in California, you have to pay 10% California State Income Tax. You have to pay twice as much rent in California. In Texas, there is no State Income Tax and rent on a 1 bedroom apartment is about $800 a month and even a house is $1600 a month.
@@iconquer1672 LOL You will be fine in Texas. Texans are not going to bother you unless you get obnoxious about being proud to be a progressive California democrat. Even then, they would just not have anything to do with you. Just tell people that you weren't born in Texas but you got here as fast as you could. They will like that. They might even give you a CD with Lyle Lovett's song. That's Right (You're Not From Texas)... but Texas loves you anyway. :-) If you go into a bar... go right up to the jukebox and punch in "God blessed Texas"... You will fit right in.
Here at JB Hunt home daily doing a week wrap 4 on 3 off. Spend one night on the road out of the 4 maybe twice a month. Averaging between 1000-1250. Definitely don't think what he doing worth it
All contractors do pay differently for sure... I am at 300 a day for roughly 12-12 and a half hour days and off on weekends here in Chattanooga we dont do teams.
I’m trying to get on with FedEx. Recently wife and I just got our triples endorsement and so we’re hoping to find a route from Miami to ATL or at least eastcoast.
I just applied for XPO Logistics for truck home daily , i only have a Class A permit with air brakes and combination but im currently studying on getting my hazmat and double/triple. I want to know if anyone here knows if this company is good especially for me since I'm a new beginner no experience in truck driving.
Iv seen them coming down 85N all the time since they have a hub in greensboro, nc and i believe mebane NC. equipment no so new like others carriers, but according to one of my flee supervisor at the company i used to work once told me that XPO logistics is a company to retire. i dont know how true it is , but yeah give it a try bruh. wish you all the lucks
Na they’re in kernersville. Good company, good pay preparing to work shit load of hours. Drive and do dock regularly, my buddy just quit 3 month ago lol
I honestly thought they made more than that🤔. I’m currently at Costco dedicated , home 2-4 days a week and average 900$-1200$ a week. I think I’ll be staying here till I go owner op.
you can defitnely make more than that depends on which contractor your working for i run wild non dedicated with fedex ground local .70cpm avergin 400 plus miles a day grossing 1800 a week long hours tho 11-12 hour shifts
Love the videos man. Hopefully sometime you can interview a foodservice and or grocery driver and get some work and pay info in that field. I got a job offer from Mclane grocery side ive heard grocery is a good side to be on 2500 guranteed bi weekly minimum pay.
Yep. And they don't care about your experience. You can be a 20 year vet with impeccable safety record and they will still start you off at around $1k per week.
dedicated and wild rates vary between contractors. Here in Salt lake it can be anywhere between 52 to 65 cpm team that i've seen. From personal experience Wilds average is about 4500 - 5000 miles per week. I've had weeks almost hitting 7k miles and weeks where i only hit 3.5k. I hate wild personally. There are many dedicated routes, from what i've heard the average dedicated route is about 5k miles per week. My dedicated route is about 7700 miles per week at 62 cpm split. My old dedicated route was 6500 miles per week.
I did local drop and hook for fed ex in Atlanta, got paid per the stop. An 11hr day would bring me in about 360 a day within a 150 mile radius doing walmarts and local customers. Was good for awhile but definitely weekend work which was extra money. My first year as a truck driver I was 75 a year doing that after their 6 months required over the road. Home daily and good money in a day cab was a good fit for me.
@@HeyArnoldGotAFootballHead my homeboy just left ground to freight. That overtime after 8 hours sound good, but u right live loads don't sound appealing
@@dalegilbert5259 its not even really about live loads cuz its LTL you might go somewhere and pick up 1 skid, but u gots to blind side off the street to get it 🤣🤣🤣 might back up 20-25 times a day in tight ass spots fighting the clock for customers closing times
I worked FedEx Ground. Something doesn’t sound right about his numbers. I ran dedicated @.42 a mile and ran 2760 a week and home everyday. Wonder why there trucks wasn’t moving more than it was
as of now I look up and see so much good cdl positions some paying up to 5000 bonus and .90 cent per mile, some even offer guaranteed 1300 a week. etc. just mostly 6 to 12 months experience. don`t know what you think but as soon I get my license which hopefully be this month or beginning of next month, I'm thinking of starting off with Schneider get like a year there of experience and move on to doing FedEx or some other that would be better for good money, btw love you're channel .
Naaaa I do FedEx custom critical box-truck with sleeper and make 1.000 a week with o experience the owner trained me for a month, then my wife got the cdl class b auto, and we do team 🤣🤣 with 0 experience and make the same 1.000 to 1.200 a week too.
I work for ground an yea it all depends on the contractor. I started at night local, doing runs from Burbank to rialto. (Linehaul). And i left that contractor for another contractor for a day shift and i mainly do P&D with some linehaul runs . And i make more now during the day and i drive less. 150 at the very least and 300 miles at the most a day. Make about 1,300 a week. After taxes.
I have so many questions and no matter what number I call they keep transferring me in circles. Hoping someone can answer them for me here. How do I apply for Fedex CDL Training? What’s the difference between Freight, Ground, and Express? I wanna be OTR for weeks at a time. How long are you on the road at a time as OTR? How does off time work for OTR? Does Fedex offer Solo driving OTR? I rather not do teams. How long does it take to get move up in pay? I heard they start you off on .27 cents in pay which is really low compared to the .50 cents Prime inc offers new drivers. How many guaranteed miles per week does Fedex offer for entry level? Thanks to anyone who can answer! I appreciate it!
I’m FedEx dedicate from ocala Florida to Maryland get home 4 night to do the 10 hours rest is team but we get pay .80 cpm weekly take home 2,100 each driver easy job ever you don’t even have to driver all your 11 hours driving we only driver 8.50 hours so we don’t need to do resets and we get all the home time we like and vacation pay and really good bonus 8 times at year , last yeah I made 105K W2
What's the company called if you don't mind? So far, I'm 4 months in with this contractor. I'm on track to make between $80,000 to $85,000 this year but we drive all 11 hours. And have one day off
It's garbage pay. If you are a veteran driver you'll understand why $1,700 per week is crap pay when you have to live in back of that truck for 6 days with another human, bouncing around for 6,000 miles a week. There are LTL and Grocery co's that pay that much and more if they are union for 50 hr work week and you sleep in your own bed every night and your quality of life is drastically improved. Also, guys that run local for $1100 or so per week..you can throw a rock nowdays in any direction and still hit a company that pays more with benefits, also local. If you are new driver or never made more then $500 per week in your life well I guess I can see how you can be in awe of this crap. Just know that you can do better, dont let these contractors abuse you. Always protect your cdl no matter what.
So what if I own my own company I want to sign with FedEx ground help them move freight. I'm single drive only. No teams do It my self own my truck kenworth w 990L. Reply back
FedEx pay sounds like garbage. I make 1250 a week salary (still get paid when wheels ain't rolling). I'm otr and only expected to run 10k miles a month however I can get bonuses if I reach 11,12 or 13k miles. Company driver and solo.
@@terrancemccray3439 I'm not driving for them anymore (nothing negative I just changed to a regional position with a different company so I could be home more), but it was Great Plains Transportation out of Fargo, ND. Now I drive for marten transport, home weekends and make $1100 gross minimum as long as I work at least 5 of the 7 days of pay period.
I am trying to move to el pasó texas area and get my CDL how hard will be to get a job with fedex with no experience or what do I need to do to contact them?
FedEx freight you can make over a 100k gross as a city driver easily home every day. FedEx freight city driver in modesto California right now is making $32.22 an hour plus overtime, linehaul is making 39.92 an hr
@@nicklaaflare1907 Fedex Freight has Program called Apprentice where they will train you to get your CDL and then you will drive city or linehaul for them.
@@HeyArnoldGotAFootballHead honestly a lot of companies have programs like that . If you work for Amazon for a while ..you can get into the Career choice program and they’ll pay for your schooling too for example. If you work for a company for a certain amount of days or if you stay with them for a certain amount of days ..they’ll definitely bring you on .

@@nicklaaflare1907 yea. But 1 year aint shit cuz its one of the top local jobs out there. Home everyday if you do city even at bottom pay you'll make 60k first year, we have linehaul guys making atleast 80k first year from the program. Alot of our terminals are hiring at in at top scale right now
Well you don't really work for FedEx ground you actually work for a contractor that works for FedEx and also one more question have you been to the pacoima FedEx ground hub in California
I hope he found a different contractor by now. I net $1500 per week working for fedex 5 days a week .. $800 check is a slap in the face for a CDL holder sorry
I’m a contractor out of Chicago looking to hire great drivers I have nighttime dedicated and team dedicated for the nighttime dedicated reaches 1500 a week and for the team dedicated close to 2000 A week
FedEx Ground both their local and OTR Routes are owned by contractors I should say greedy contractors and they will not pay you all that well...ok to say the least
