i worked for fedex twice. I was a package handler and loaded trucks all day. First of all they dont let you listen to music or bring your phone in. Its a labor intensive job and not having music is boring AF. The managers also push you to be faster and come around and push the packages down your truck. I once yelled at one cuz i had packages organized so i can fit them the way i wanted and they all got thrown everywhere when the manager pushed the packages down. I also could get hurt as sometimes i would get my finger squished. Also they pay was 17 per hour and they promised us 30-40 hours a week. When i started i would work for 4 hours and they will cut the day short and send you home. there was two days where i only worked 2 hours and got sent home. The manager would be surprised that i stayed longer because most people leave with in a week

honestly its a hard job

I’ve been delivering for Amazon for a year in Florida. Agree with everything you say. I enjoy it though. Especially the hours and creating my own 40 hour schedule.

Amazon is the worst. I was getting 190 stops and bunch of multi stops

Do I need a commercial lisence to drive for fedx or is my D class lisense fine? Also is it a stick shift?

They cut hours to make a 2nd shift this time of year and tell you to come in on your off days to make up for your missed time.

22 reasons it's more like 22 excuses

I have an interview for courier/dot tomorrow! Hoping to get the job.

Bro going to CDL School is like getting put in ah jungle

I just quit today!! DO NOT DO THIS JOB I’ve been an athlete my whole life and run 5 miles a day!! It doesn’t matter how athletic you are it’s just mentally draining

My DSP pretty cool

They should allow us to get tips

U on the point from the gate 💪🏾

I know the dsp you worked for. I’ve worked for them 3 years now. It was a quick downward spiral. Costing him money. He gets anywhere from 5 to 10 cents pre package delivered.

I'm about to start this up coming Monday. I'll start trying then. But I decided to try this out and see how it works out. Thanks for the advice bruh.

Cause they over work you and dont pay shyt

Fedex pays slave wages 😂

Bossman about to get ulcers.

The app seems to prefer you to deliver to the left. I doubt the DSP can do anything about the app because it's Amazon-made and the DSP is just a final-mile contractor.

My training provided me with 98% of what I needed to know to do my job efficiently. I can really only think of one thing it didn’t teach me, and that was how to deal with the GPS pin being wrong. Other than that, the jobs a breeze. Follow traffic laws, don’t dick around and you’ll be fine. Working 4 days a week, I really don’t care how long I work each day. Not everything makes sense as far as the order of deliveries, but I can change that. Usually just go with it though. I’ve only gotten one bad review from a customer, and I’m sure it’s my fault. I was supposed to deliver a package to the rear door and remembered after I started driving away, so I left it lol.

Bro u just worked at a shitty delivery station 😂😂 it’s the best job in the world

GPS kept fucking me up on Monday old ass android

Bro I got fired after 3 days for being too slow shit job plus I’m 6’1 this job and the small ass van with 150 stops was breaking my back 😂💯Mo. not worth it.

What happens if you don't delievery everything in your route? Can you just drop it back off at the shop or must you stay late and get it done?

Im lucky my dsp is solid. When i was hired, they gave me my schedule and said it would never change. And it hasnt. Ive never been sent home either.

Idk why yall think ups gets paid a ton more. They dont.

Number 6 your not expected to carry a heavy package up some stairs were not a appliance deliver driver where their are two people had a customer get angry and tell me is he getting paid to carry it up he had other people home so he had help im alone this package weighed roughly 80lbs 6ft long i could of just told the customer your package is delivered and drive away

Its funny dont back up at all why does the vehicle have a reverse gear just use it

The real problem is DSP accept every shit from Amazon because they’re making a really really really good money and don’t care if driver must to die on the road to keep working for Amazon, and one day all driver goint to know DSP can pay $30 buck per hour without ANY PROBLEM and then Amazon is going to get robots 😂 and DSP is going to fuck up.

I have the 90s tmnt movies

Run guys fedex is folding up including sponsor ship in NASCAR and Joe Gibbs

Amazon sucks

I make just about 1632 a week after taxes. It's the best thing I have ever done! No debt, just straight stacking!

Yesterday it had me leave a neighborhood, drive two minutes away for one package, go back to the neighborhood I was just in, drop off another package, then go in the direction I had just went when I first left 😭

I really enjoy working the sort, especially being a DG specialist

Amazon mistreats people!!!

I don't blame you for quitting Amazon Delivery.

This is a good job to find another job while you work here

I guess I didn't get hired..... I told them I only worked for amazon for 2 weeks and the hiring manager said he'll speak to the supervisor. Tomorrow will be a full week since the interview. :/

As a Rural-based FedEx Ground Swing, what matters most is getting past the first month. That's the major hurdle because you're still learning. Sure, Managers could suck on occasion, or things go wrong, but it's life. I'm not saying take it while you're down, but do what you can. If you need to roll a big package, roll it. If you come home tired, that just means you did a good job and you'll get stronger the next day and the next. I can often find myself working 12 Hours or more because my usual route is an hour commute to the first stop, but then it's stop-go. Some of my coworkers just have drives between stops and that's what takes them the longest. You'll get into a rhythm of your average route. You'll meet new people and some of our Customers actually give us gifts, drinks, food, so on. What matters alot out of it all, is what contractor you go for. (For Ground). Our Hub is in the largest city of my state (of course), but my Contractor is rural-focused. Because they knew that our routes would be long typically, and we'd go over the 8-hour mark, the 170/Daily (which is great for my area; really liveable) switches to OT/Hourly after that 8th hour of the day. My checks tend to come out 15-1600 Bi-Weekly, and joing FedEX (For me) was the best decision at my current moment because I'm paying off debts and such. FedEX isn't for everyone. Read the glassdoors, if you know people who know employees, ask them. Learn about it, see what contractor does the best from your Terminals. Hell, some of my coworkers are switching to a different contractor simply because of the pay since they have more kids than what my contractor can accomodate for pay wise. Research Research Research. Any sort of work like Delivery Drivers or Package Handling is going to be hard, that's the name of the game. Just know that eventually, if you came in weak (like I did, I could hardly handle 80lbs at the start), you'll end up being able to handle more and more later on. (I've finally been able to handle our Weight max of 150lbs). Just know your worth. Work hard. And come home tired knowing you did good. Did the best you could that day.

7:51 so true. I was driving a ford tranzit van that had a check engine, tire pressure sensor, and oil change service interval light on when working at fed ex ground. Told my contractor about it said it was completely normal. I lasted only 3 months. It really depends on your contractor, cause when i told people around the station whom i worked for they all gave me a pat on the back and said something along the lines of I'll be praying for you or good luck brotha you're gonna need it.😂😂😂

I’ve never worked for any type of delivery service company. That said, the one thing I’ve noticed about FedEx delivery drivers that seems to differ from their counterparts at UPS and Amazon is the speed and aggressiveness in which they drive. You can’t help but notice it. I’ve just always assumed it was because FedEx placed more pressure on their drivers than did their competitors.

I was considering getting a job for Amazon driver..but after hearing what goes on I will pass on it ..thanks

R u part time?

I thought I was the only one... lol I've been working for these guys for about 4 months already and ran into so many problems from flex app freezing and wasting my time and the best part is me getting "Cap" for it to not getting enough hours

Nope that looked like a gray pit. Hell.no.. I would not of walked up there. That dog could broke whatever had him pinned. You brave. 😂

Just got a ps5 and loving it 😅

Do you get lunch breaks or any kind of breaks

😂😂😂😂 yea this is fire. At least they let me smoke on my trees 😂
