Fedex freight drivers apprentice questions

you will love it. It is a awesome program that covers you soup to nuts and everything in-between. My advice is simple, be SERIOUS, pay ATTENTION, listen to everything, and you will learn a lot about yourself and driving. I had over 2 decades of driving straight truck (B), and i have walked away with oodles and oodles of knowledge from my instructors, and learned more in weeks than i have in decades.............good luck and see you out there

 

OP, how did you get that interview?

 

look at the jobs on the fedex board, you are looking for the driver apprentice positions available.........

 

Any idea how much of the day is dock work and how much is spent driving?

 

while you are in education, you will work the dock. no biggie. my house is usually busy and crazy, so the time goes by fast. now that i am in my own truck and route, i hardly see the dock, but i am not beyond jumping on a forklift and helping out as needed. do whatever it takes, and you will do well

 

first of all ,have a happy new year everyone .i have a question for you "Davem3TF " once the one becomes a full time fedex freight city driver do you get your own route ?and would you say road driver is better than city driver or the opposite ?thank you

 

Not sure how they do it at any other barns but dispatch sends you were they want you to go at the time you start. But you might work into a route in time.

Do you want to work during the day and with costumers or do you want to go from terminal to terminal and not see any customers? Day is city and night is road.

 

i Don`t mind both .am sure Road drivers get paid by the miles .right ? versus hourly rate for city .just wondering what types of trailers do city drivers pull ?
