honestly if management is fluent with DRO you don't need to waste all that time writing shit all over boxed. just sort them by SID. or if it's off some days, which it will be, Sttill sort by sid, input the stops into road warrior, placemaker, whatever and every time you get to stop, just look at the sid on the scanner. if it's a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,or 9 you should know exactly where they all are and it shouldn't take much more than a few seconds to find it. i averaged 30 stops per hour daily doing this. plus you'll save on those markers LOL

Drove fedex ground for two years before I had to bail. I was a swing driver who knew every route by heart... The key is to learn the route, pack the truck exactly how you will do the route. Markers help in the beginning. Also instead of using the flawed number system of fedex you can load your packages alphabetically at first (A-L on one side, M through Z on the other). Eventually you'll want to load the truck by neighborhood or street depending on the area. 30 stops an hour with FedEx should be a bare minimum target. 40+ is the ideal goal and if you maintain over 50 stops an hour you're gold.

Overall vision tags help a lot but if a package doesn’t have the sticker, I check the iPad before I leave the station and check all the packages that don’t have them before hand and have them facing out. Floor boxes is making sure heavy boxes are on the back so it’s easier to take out.

Good strategies. I make sure every package has the SID though. So if the tag falls off, I write it on the box where I can see it. If it’s one of the funky ones the algorithm can’t figure out that doesn’t get a SID, I put all those in a pile with the label facing up so I can see them all quickly.

I like the sentiment, but 30/hr just simply isn't attainable for some of the routes at least in my area. South central Wisconsin, VERY rural. No matter how you plot you have at least 5-10 minutes between stops sometimes. I've only been at it for a couple months, but I feel that I've gotten the hang of it quickly. Not a ton of stops usually (80-120) but you can't defeat the miles sometimes. I'd be curious to see how I would do in a slightly more condensed area.

At that point, it’s just about negotiating your pay rate to make sure it’s worth your time. There is a contract in our station that pays their drivers more on average because they have to drive about an hour to get to their areas. I don’t make as much, but my area is five minutes from the station, and I get paid pretty well for my time based on how fast I can go. So if I were you, I would just make sure that I’m getting paid well enough to account for the time it takes to do those stops that are further apart from each other.

I assume you’re FedEx express. Yea the leo do have sounds and a map but most ppl don’t use unless they have time sensitive packages. Your packages that don’t have a time frame are color coded blue. The ones that need to be delivered by 1030 is red, by 1200 is dark or navy blue. You can organize your truck alphabetically by street name. A-f can be your side door side. I-p can be on the other side. R-z at the back of truck as an example. Also don’t worry about going fast at express. You’re paid by the hour, the job is much easier and laid back vs ground. Plus those time sensitive packages will have you traveling all over town until you get that last one off. Congrats and good luck

@@eboniclay5268 yes very true. That's why at express, 80 to 90 stops is average at my station because we have usually 20 to 25 priority packages due everywhere. Also we load our own trucks as the freight is being unloaded on the belt. Some drivers sort alphabetically, others put the priorities on the top shelves. Some just put the areas together on a shelf, whatever works for you. 20 / hour is pretty good for us since our areas are spread out. But once those priorities are delivered, you can really pick up the pace with the rest. But once again, we are hourly so no need to rush unless you want a smaller paycheck

All that does is get you more packages ('cause you've shown that you can do it)...or switched to a route with more packages...which either one of those scenarios equals LONGER DAYS. Many drivers get paid a daily set rate...I'm one of them...and I ain't lookin' to kill myself trying to deliver 300 packages for the same amount of money I get for getting done early. The idea is to get done...and GO HOME. NOT to stay out longer or run yourself to death!

I did FedEx Home Delivery and it was tough. Is that map on your scanner something new and did FedEx do that company wide or only at specific locations? It's been a few years since i worked for a FedEx contractor but I got an opportunity to go back and work for a separate contractor. When I did it, we had MapQuest papers that we had to photocopy and keep on the truck. Everyday, we would mark them with a marker to show what roads had stops and what didn't. Those papers made life so much harder. Also, nobody knew about sorting trucks by 1000, 2000, 3000 etc. We sorted by address. Since I had a city and the 2 neighboring towns on my route, I cut the city into blocks of 5 or 6 streets in the back of the trucks so I knew the general area where the package should be based on what street it was delivered to. I had a tote and in the tote was strictly envelopes or really small boxes. Before we left the terminal in the morning, they would print out route sheets and I took a few minutes to mark the sheets with "Envelope" so I knew when I got to the stop and saw what it was, I knew it was in the tote and not in the back of the truck somewhere. There were times where I would be at a stop 4-5 minutes if not longer trying to find the package because it had fallen down in transit or the label or gotten rubbed off. Talk about frustrating. I didn't get lunch breaks, bathroom breaks or anything. My lunch was trying to eat as the same time I was driving and running to deliver packages. All for 100 bucks flat rate a day. With everything, it was common to have 200-250 stops a day. I remember doing 250 stops and 280 deliveries plus having to do pickups and customer complaints which basically meant go back to a delivery from a day or two prior and find out why they claimed they never got their package which most of those I swear was just people trying to scam FedEx.

I have an opportunity to work for another FedEx contractor now and I'm hearing things are a lot better. The contractor I worked for went out of business. It's no wonder why. Just the time I worked there, it seemed like someone was quitting every week or every other week.

I said you're right, you don't. But due to you repeatedly claiming I have not delivered your package when I clearly have, now you're going to sign for it or you will drive to the terminal and pick up your package where they will make you sign for it. It's funny how the complaints stop after they have to sign for it.
