1 year update : Truck Driver Salary : Fedex Ground

[@likhive]

Health Insurance is huge, have to provide coverage these days. Too big of a deal to drivers to not provide. "you gotta leave, stand up for yourself" - speaks the truth

[@IsJesseBeast]

I did a dedicated for 6 months at FedEx best 6 months i've had in this industry. All driving no waiting. Hope you get on it soon man. Stay safe

[@Driving2Thrive]

I’ve been doing a dedicated to Orlando the last month. I’m loving it. Aside from last weeks tornados 🌪 haha

[@IsJesseBeast]

@@Driving2Thrive all contractors have them but its on the contractor to deal with events that trigger the camera. The two contractors I worked for didn't care much for disciplining there drivers. But yes all fedex contractors are supposed to have them

[@hiramrosajr8231]

Hate it

[@rbertgraham5980]

Thanks man your the reason I’m going to a fedex approved driving school

[@LilyWhisperwind]

If I wasn't so dreadfully scared of winter roads, I would totally drive. You guys make so much. I'll have to see if you have any videos on real estate because I have always wanted to do that.

[@DjStaxx]

I'm in CDL School now, and get my CDL Nov 15th. You're videos are helpful man, thanks. I think I'm gonna look into Fedex ground as well. But I'll be based our of San Antonio.

[@PylotGuy]

How’d it go & what was the pay like

[@DjStaxx]

@@PylotGuy I worked for a company called Warrior Logistics out of Houston for 3 months. They say Monday-Friday weekends off, that was a lie. We’d run 6-12 days. The pay was inconsistent because you get caught at these FedEx hubs for 2,3,6,12,24 hrs so it slows down your miles. 5k + plus miles is ideal for a good paycheck but I only did that kind of mileage maybe 3-4 times. I left after 3 months. I work local in San Antonio now delivering organic milk to grocery stores. Mon-Friday. I’m content with it for now till I get more driving experience under my belt

[@PylotGuy]

@@DjStaxx I’m happy you went through with it and didn’t quit, I wish you nothing but success

[@armandolomeli9724]

Good content bro, I work for a contractor out of Rialto, CA. Entry level is .37 cpm. For someone experienced like yourself we pay .42 cpm. Benefits included. Great work environment and an awesome contractor that cares.

[@Driving2Thrive]

Who is it man ?

[@BajaJL]

@Armando Lomeli What's the contact for your contractor in Rioalto?

[@mamaga1afua16]

Thanks for your vids. I'm considering Trucking seriously which might be next year. I would link up then we take it from there. Be safe

[@alanchavez623]

I went through the same situation you went through and now work for a better paying contractor. I also run wild and I like it because we are consistent averaging 5.5k miles per week.

[@alanchavez623]

@a l yes they carry front facing cameras.

[@alanchavez623]

Yes the trucks for the contractor I drive for has driver facing cameras

[@antslack3733]

You are correct about finding a contractor that provides insurance. I work out of the Greenwood Indiana (Indianapolis) terminal as a local driver and my contractor just asked me a couple of days ago about insurance. He is currently putting something together where I would pay 350 a month for my family and he will pay the rest. Great content. Keep it up.

[@Driving2Thrive]

I appreciate it man

[@2ATILLTHEYBURYME]

Hey Ant. I’m from Naptown myself and thinking about getting my CDL in September. Not asking how much you make but are you making at least 45-50000 a year driving locally? I have a big family and don’t want to do OTR 😩😩😩

[@phoenixarizona8441]

[@tannerstewart3724]

Great content as usual. Im looking into getting with a contractor soon myself just weeding out the ones that will waste my time. Ive narrowed it down to about 2-3 contractors so far still doing my due diligence. How is team driving honestly? Thats my main concern at the moment I just can't wrap my head around how that works efficiently with adequate sleep and hygiene etc.

[@Driving2Thrive]

As far as team driving is concerned, it’s not that bad in my opinion. Most people are logical and Want to be clean like most other people. Unfortunately there are some of those people that were just raised a bit different where being a slob was acceptable. The hardest thing about team driving is your co-driver, so make sure you get along with them.

[@Sht855]

Question about Health Insurance; is your contractor paying you $0.02 less per mile and then you must pay for insurance on top of that? Or is the $0.02 cover the full cost on your side. Many contractors have insurance but bearly covers anything. I went with Obama Care which covered much more for me and my family.

[@Driving2Thrive]

No it’s 2 cents less per mile but insurance is completely covered by that. It’s Kaiser gold, I don’t know much about insurance but people tell me that it’s really good…

It doesn't add up. He said his current cpm is 0.39. He said the new dedicated route is 6400 miles per week and that it's team driving. Assuming he and the co-driver split the miles 50/50 (3200/wk) he's only going to Gross $1248/wk. Still, $64,896 is not chump change. Personally, with a full year of experience I would be looking for another company to drive for. Even at 6 months experience, there are companies paying over 0.50 cpm.
