    would like to hear opinions.

    I have a few friends that drive for FED EX, good pay and home every night with weekends off. They have said that the hire rookies and it should not be hard to get me in...However, I really want to drive otr for a while, want to see the lower 48...am I crazy to want to wait until after I go otr for a while?????

    If you want to drive OTR, then do so. Who cares what other drivers want? Do what you want. Yes, there are some people who think home every night is some kind of utopia, but not all drivers feel that way. I personally think being homeless is utopia. So do what you want.

    I think the door to door deliveries using a parcel van don't require experience, however hiring newbies for the big trucks does, (I think). Or, wait, maybe they don't, since you see so many Fed-ex doubles in the ditch.

    Fedex doesn't have company Ground, or Home Delivery drivers, afaik. They are all contractors, and the contractors own certain routes, and then either hire for those routes themselves, or run the route themselves.

    My best friend has worked for Fed Ex Freight for almost 12 years and loves his job but they do require experience. Actually they just changed the one year requirement to two years. He says he can get me in but I'm not sure I'd be happy bumping docks 2-3 dozen times a day.
