fed ex freight

Any idea what a Driver Apprentice makes starting out? I am thinking of applying but I would have to relocate to a city where I have a family member. Wondering if that would be better than an OTR job.

 

At least they actually let you know where you sit with them. I have applied for everything they advertise City Driver, Road Driver, Driver Apprentice, and I call them up to check on my app, and they tell me, well the ternimal manager has to look over them first, if he's interested, he'll give you a call...son of a!!! Can't ya just throw me a frickin bone at least!!!

 

I kinda figured it would be a process, but I can't even get in touch with anyone up there to even talk about it. I'll keep my fingers crossed though. Im suppose to start hauling fuel here shortly, but if FedEx was to give me a chance, I would jump all over it. I've heard really good things about them, benefits, pay, ect. Definatly a company I would consider retiring with if everything that I heard was true.

 

Hope you meant you have nothing but good to say about the company?! Thanks for the info, looking foward to hearing about your journey, goodluck!!

 

I will tell you now be prepared for a whole bunch of stress. I have been driving for 17 years and I have never been as stressed out with a job as I am here with Fedex. The rules and regulations here are enough to choke a mule. I understand now why the money and benefits are so good. I am glad you got the job BigRon you will be watching training videos and taking tests on the computer until you are blue in the face. Then you will attend a 1 week training class in either Atlanta or Dallas or possible another terminal depending on where you live.
