Fed ex is one of those companies that try to get around employment laws by calling you a contractor.

Freight and express are company employee filled. Ground drivers are contracted, while the package handlers, management, and office staff is employee. Ground and express are set to merge fully come mid 2024 I believe. for the most part it will be express employees that get the boot.

@Boogs114 so does this mean more work for fedex ground contractors or less work? Im so confused with the merge they are trying to save so much money i dont trust it.. all i know is rarely if ever is a merge ever a good thing for anyone. I drive for fedex ground contractor and i dont trust it honestly.. the pay sucks and wild the miles aren't there unless you wanna stay out a month at a time not a rewarding job in my opinion.. i know contractors think they are getting fedex freights, freight but i dont believe that because fedex freight is staying a separate entity as far as i know but ground contractors think they are getting rid of fedex freight drivers and are getting all the freight lol so idk whats fedex doing. . If anyone knows for sure let me know.. I also heard from a driver who knows some one high up in fedex freight that they are supposed to get rid of the contractors and give the ground freight to fedex freight drivers so that supposedly work is gunna pick up for fxf and they will hire like crazy after the merge fxf that is.. Again this is all rumors and speculation i have no idea what the truth is but i know i dont trust fedex intentions nor do i feel i have job security at this time..

There is just City and road drivers for Freight. City is by the hour. 35. Road is by the mile and hourly if working a dock. Average city person make about 16 to 18 hundred a week. Road is from 18 to 22 hundred gross. Average. No seasonal. Sometimes we help ground during holidays. Your CDL must have all major endorsements. Hazmat, tankers, doubles and triples. Extra. Study for a week its easy.

FEDEX GROUND contractors per mile pay is determined by the contractor, not FEDEX. It varies wildly. Some contractors, as in any business, are only worried about profits and pay accordingly. Others, well let’s just say it’s good. Get your foot in the door, drive safely, then pivot to a contractor that pays better. They do hire out of driving school, BUT ONLY, from approved CDL schools. So ask your school before you go.

The trucking industry is the only industry where the wages are still from the 80’s ! Rather work at target for $20 an hour and get to go home and sleep in my bed not exhausted from 14 hrs shifts plus the labor of the whole everyday for the rest of your life piece by piece. And not stress about protecting your cdl from idiot 4wheelers alway cutting you off and not letting you merge causing dangerous situations!

Not sure what state you're in but I've been driving since 21 (28 now) and I've been making roughly $90k-$100k a year since I was 24. I live in Cali though so of course pay will be higher here. I was with FedEx Freight for four and a half years. Started at $29/hr and ended at $42/hr. I'm with a new company making roughly $10k a month.

You're right in the right way of thinking about it but I've seen unexperienced drivers get jobs where I used to work. They caused multiple accidents and never got fired or even written up. While other drivers did something less and did get written up or fired. Come to find out, they were all buddies. I went to a home depot the other day and asked and employee for help to find something and he didnt speak english. I know people who've been to prison and still get a job. While an educated person with diploma, no bad record is having trouble getting a good job. Now, you see what I mean. That's how it has always been. It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Get a job on the dock part time. We have internal job listing on the wall for every open position. You didnt get the job because people on the inside get first pick. I worked the dock for a year and they put me through the driver training program before they hired someone from the outside. Working the dock is easy, we have some guys that only work a day or 2 a month and their cool with it. Top out part time pay is 22 or 24 an hour. Get your foot in that way.
