• Safe Driving: Every safe trip boosts your company's points.

Keep these tips in mind to boost your company's points and make the most out of your job!

FedEx Ground can be the best company you work for or the worst company you work for.

It all depends on the contractor and the people you deal with. If you get a job with a guy who doesn't like to fix anything then you are in a world of hurt. The good thing about that is that FedEx periodically checks the truck to see if its fit to standard. Along with that FedEx is real strict on logs. They allow zero mistakes... which may or may not be a good thing for ya...

I have a dedicated (which is the best thing in the world if I may be so bold) but you can wind up running the wheels off with a red line dedicated run, they cut it close to running over your 11/14 alot...

If I would have to be a full time OTR with FedEx Ground, I think I'd possibly be better off with a company like Werner or something...although to be fair I hear teams make quite a bit...but who wants to team?

New contractors have very long waiting lists for dedicated runs due to the point system FedEx has in place... and even if you wait 20 yrs for a run, there's no guarantee you'll get it cause FedEx allows contractors to sell their truck numbers with their points, dedicated runs & independent contract business to the highest bidder...
