I just started with them this week.It takes about 4-6 weeks after the interview before everything is done and they start you. Be prepared to answer a bunch of questions during the interview and they will give you a simple math test to see if you can count. Depenging on the number of people they are interviewing it could take a week or more before you know that they are going to proceed with you. I would call after a week just to touch base with them. If they call you back for a second interview then you proably have the job if all your references check out. During this interview you will fill out a pile of paperwork and they will send you for a drug screen and physical.
The final step will be the road test where you do a thorough pre trip and hook up a set of doubles and do about a 20 mile road test. If all goes well a few days later you will be called in to sign the employment offer letter and have your picture taken for your i.d. badge and set up a start date.
Good luck and keep us informed. If you have any more questions I will be happy to answer them for you. Chris.

 

Bigron and Chris, What did u all apply for? City, or linehaul driver? I have never pulled doubles b4, how is that going to work out?? I am studying now for my Haz and Dou/Tri Endorsements

 

Bigron, I appreciate the info man. I'm with Celadon now...they are cool peeps. Been with them since Dec 07'. I'm just getting tired of the OTR lifestyle man, I want 2 be # home a lil bit more. I live in Little Rock, and according to the Fed Ex website, they are needing a city driver, and they have an opening for a driver apprentice. I prolly need to go for the apprentice.....I don't have the slightest clue how to hook up, and deal with the doubles. Are u going to be home e're night w/linehaul, or u don't know yet? Good Luck with em kid~

 

Are all the FedEx trucks manual? I have heard that they are getting some auto's too.
