How hard is it to get employed by FedEx or UPS ?

From what I heard, Fed Ex Express is basically their version of UPS Parcel. Only way you can get the job is from within. You start off as a warehouse worker, package delivery driver, then up to tractor trailer driver doing linehaul work, airport runs, Amazon pickups, etc. It's almost exactly the way UPS does it with their feeder driver position.

 

One thing you have to remember is that it's $17.40 PLUS overtime and you'll likely get 5-10 hrs overtime per week. So $17/hr is not as handicapped as it may seem (although, yeah it still sucks). See my paystubs.

 

Yeah but once you switch over to linehaul in a couple months, it's not gonna suck as much, with almost a $30 k increase in pay. Not to mention it's not even top rate either.

 

Union job. It's the only thing I don't like about the union, their progressive pay scale, although FXF does start you off at a decent pay rate, but UPS in the long run pays more.

 

it depends on your work history,your mvr and how bad you want the job.You'll get a day and time for interview.Last about an hour.You do need to dress for success.UPS has been known to hire without exp but you need to prove to them you're the right person for the job.

 

Then probably go for FXF. It's the main reason a lot of people decide to work for them, because they don't want to starve waiting 4 years to reach top rate. I don't know how much Reddeway starts off, but FXF starts around $24.
