    Hey Truckers,
    I was approved too work for a FedEx Ground contractor,
    Since I have minimal experience I have too do the 300 hrs with a lead driver. It is a team position. .65cpm during training .72cpm after training. It's a dedicated Route 5-6 days out 1-2 day off. 5000-6000 miles a week. They also offer benefits No 401k offered also its 1hr 45 mins from my house. In Concord, NC. I currently have a job with a Glass company making $20 an hr. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    1st: determine if team driving is something you can do over time, not just once or twice just to try it out. It's constant movement.

    2nd: IF the miles you quoted are accurate then you'll definitely do better financially.

    Best of luck whatever you decide.

    The commute is too much. That plus teaming will not work out in the long run.

    I had a co-driver tell me with a straight face after I complained about his smelly armpits that was his natural "scent".

    Hey Bryan,
    I decided not to take the job commute was too long.
    Teaming is risky too many variables. I'm looking at 2 companies. Continental Express & Red Gold Transport
    Any insight on these 2 companies. Thanks
