Just thought I'd let you all know. As of late, FedEx Ground has started taking Student Drivers from APPROVED schools. Now require 96 hours of solo driving with a trainer before being able to run team runs. If anyone has any questions feel free to P.M. me. (for current contractors that want to argue. Attachment 10.1 Addendum 10 1.2 A ii.)

But it's the contractors that have to hire them . Why hire a CDL mill graduate with unknown potential when experienced drivers are looking for work ? How many FedEx Ground drivers running doubles want to run team with a newbie ?
Texas_hwy_287 and pes2 Thank this. -
I'll tell you why, because sometimes it's not as easy as you think to find a good experienced driver. Most of the experienced drivers already have jobs. That leaves the the new inexperienced drivers that would eat up a chance to drive for FedEx as thier first gig.
Unfourtnatly for some contractors it's al about ###es in seats, not so much the quality of the drivers in those seats.Typhoid36 and Truckinchic Thank this. -

Way too much pressure to perform on those time sensative jobs.
x1Heavy and BUMBACLADWAR Thank this. -
Are you thinking of expedite - FedEx Custom Critical ? This is FedEx Ground - Roadway Package Service before bought by FedEx. They compete with UPS .

Can anyone advise how to get approved by them as a student driver so I can go to work for a contractor? I will be getting my cdl at the end of the month. My permit is CDL-A with PSTNX endorsements. I plan to get a twic card also.

I'd love to give up my medical benefits and paid vacation to go work for a contractor, but I won't.
