    Depending on how many hours you will get and how that relates to what you want to make for a gross income.

    All things being equal I would probably take the one that paid $2.80 an hr more.

    This is one of those things that only you can decide.

    I would take Fedex.The only negative thing in winter time when freight is slow they might give You layoff.Check also their turnover rate.
    Good luck and keep us posted!!

    I'd probably go with the Dunkin job, but I'm not you.

    Donuts taste good! Ever see a Fedex company driver driving slower than the truck would go? I have not. Think they might be pushed?
