A big tip, get a big permanent marker. Write the serial number down much larger on the box facing out where you can see it. That way you can pack the boxes how you want. Don’t have to worry about taking the sticker off and it not sticking when you put it back.

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

@bribradt3450 Ай бұрын

I drive in Omaha, near downtown. Average 150-170 stops per day with a shit load of apartment buildings, but most of them have a mail room where I can get rid of 5-10 stops in 2 minutes. Start around 8am and done between 1 and 2. It's not bad deal to only work 30 hours a week roughly and take home around 800 a week

@AaronFacciolini Жыл бұрын

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.

@ricpor232 Жыл бұрын

My company wants all drivers to do 20 stops an hour, 30 stops bare minimum seems a lot, not all drivers are salary, Im hourly and my route isnt super condensed, I worked for amazon for 4 years and 20 stops an hour is perfect cause youll always be done on time.

@aaron-damonkassner4715 11 ай бұрын

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.

@Deliverypros 11 ай бұрын

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.

Believe it or not, there are FedEx Ground locations where you can get close to $300 a day. It's entirely dependent on the contractor as well if you are willing to do extra work after your route is done such as another route. It's possible but like I said, there's a lot of factors to it.

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.

Do you get paid more to work the weekends? 6. Do you have to load and fuel your own truck. 7. We normally can’t leave until 9:30 to 10am. How do they let you leave at 8?

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.

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.

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.

Easy when you’re not wearing your seatbelt. Over here at Amazon you have to wear your seatbelt so that means taking it off and putting it back on at every stop, and stopping all the way at all Stop signs. Also when you don’t even have that many packages so it’s easier to organize the van.

@Deliverypros 4 ай бұрын

Ya, I’d never want to work for Amazon. The packages are smaller but between the volume and the organization… yikes. And this was one neighborhood with mostly yields. I don’t put my seatbelt on unless I get out on a main road. And obviously I’m not going to stop at yields 😂

Love this video man, getting a interview with FedEx Tomorrow, bit nervous, got a couple of questions. Does FedEx track every move you take or is it more chill and you can work at your own pace as long as you get it done in time. Any good ways to approach a interview and how to answer their questions? Again thx for this, hope your career is going good right now.

@Deliverypros Жыл бұрын

FedEx is by and large desperate for drivers. So just be honest with them and they’ll work with you. If you’re nervous about the truck, tell ‘em. If you’re nervous about being slow at first, ask for mostly residential to begin with. It’s pretty chill depending on your contractor. There are some weeks where I don’t see or talk to my manager or my contractor haha so it just depends on how they run things

It's all so relative; if you're out in the sticks you could have several minutes between stops lol, whereas if you're in a big city, you could run 30 stops in 30 minutes. That's why it's so difficult to gauge speed or efficiency simply by asking someone how many stops they do per hour.

Here's what I think of doing 30 stops an hour...HELL NO!!!!!! Why would you want to do that? 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!

good thing you are not a UPS driver!!! Fed ex must not have any rules there? I only watched you deliver the first 3 stops and all I can hear is my managers voice inside my head yelling out all the "things" that were not done to standards. bulk head door never shut, never use handrail entering or exiting car, no seatbelt, no stop at intersections, eyes down at your board while driving WAY too much,(hopefully no kid ever runs out in the street in front of you, there were multiple times your were not looking in front while driving all the way past 1-2 houses before looking ahead again) .... I would think with you being a "runner" you would be interested in taking care of your knees/legs/back a bit more by using handrail to get in and out. Now I'm sure you are thinking. "this guy sounds like a real tool!" and that's fine, lol. This is just my personal observation of your video (about 3 min of it) , doesn't mean you are a bad driver, or anything about fedex except the fact that you are not trained in any of the "methods" we are held accountable for. The fed ex guys on my route are all cool dudes, even if they do everything backwards. lol. have a great day! ps.

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.
