FedEx Freight Question, how long before starting work?

It's true. Every word. I know, I was a manager.
Best advice, keep your head down, do as your told, and do your best. It's not rocket science, but they do pay attention.
Good luck

 

See!!!!...I was giving helpful advice

 

Took me almost 3 months.

 

3 months from application to interview. 1 month from interview to hire date, but I was OTR at the time and it was a pain to get the physical done. After that, about a month of education and observation before I was put on the board as a solo driver. Contract loads, random city bids, dock and yard work for 2 months until a road bid opened up. Add a few weeks for yourself since they have train you to get your CDL.

 

When I finally got hired, I worked the outbound dock for a week, simultaneously doing that long computer test stuff. My second week I was on the road on my own.
