Pros & Cons of FedEx Ground Deliveries

I tell you the pros and cons of working for Fedex Ground as a route driver.

[JamesClark]

The route I had when I was at FedEx ground was a country route and we had to type the addresses in to an app and load the truck ourselves so I really didn't have to worry about how the loaders loaded the truck because I literally was the loader

[jpotts]

The loader for my truck on Mondays and Tuesdays is awful but I go on and arrange it how i want anyway. I have an easy residential route with a couple businesses and average anywhere from 130-150 stops a day, sometimes less, sometimes more. I like the job because nobody bothers you and you can go at your own pace. I'm usually done anywhere from 12:30-2:30 depending on how many stops I have that day

As far as cleaning the trucks they have a company that come in just to clean the outside of the trucks might as well do the inside everything from the dashboard to the floor be dirty and if I'm not mistaken one of my co-workers said something about a bonus if you keep your truck clean

Great video and I agree with your comments about FedEx.

[sdzy]

Its good that you put this video out there seems like people are making us the bad guys and its nothing as it seems. Most of the problems with missing packaging is the package handlers fault. Example my package might be on your truck vice versa or it might not of been loaded right.

I worked for Fedex Ground for 2 and a half years.

I had a route in San Bruno, CA. I had to step down because the job caused constant and chronic fatigue.

4 months out of there and I am deathly fatigued every day. Can barely move.

I am not sure if it's a health issue or the heavy ICs that did it to me.

Anyone else had this happen?

Very good insight on FedEx Ground! Very similar here in NJ

Peak is here! going to be a fun few months lol!

[Chickenn]

The only con is the pay they expect drivers to do 150+ stops with packages weighing as much as 150 lbs .. beside that fed ex not to do bad just the pay !!

[sdzy]

What i don't get is how they come in to work so early and yet trucks still dont be right they come in like at 1am drivers come in at 5ish am i think

[charlesboylan]

I work at FedEx in Durham NC it seem easy to me

[mkloven]

Man if Amazon had dedicated loaders i would of still be working there. They would only give us 15 minutes to load everything, shit sucked

What’s the difference from Ground and DOT Carrier

[ironbody]

I know I'm a couple of years late but, i do have a question... What's the hours are for FedEx Ground delivery? And can you take a cooler with you during the warm season or do They provide one?

[tkelly]

Do you have to check in with anyone once you get back to station? Or do you just park vehicle than head home? Unlike Amazon where you have to check in with them than your DSP.

[tnCEO]

Do you have a comparison for Amazon and FedEx? I’m offered @ FedEx $18 starting off great local route super easy. Amazon pays $20 but I have to deliver in a different city plus double the work. But it’s flexible 4 days a week which is good for me. What is your advice on this?

[sophiashouse]

Just wondering can you take breaks when you want? Also can you Bluetooth music in the trucks?

[michelajpop]

Is a work out? Yes but tell me how about you have 380 stops for a day including 1.45 or more pounds

[Kingtee]

Are your employees trustworthy? I just sent some gold out through FedEx and I’m a little worried it’s not going to make it. Because of the reviews

Con black driver cant delivered in certain area because of their color.
