    Either $30.33 or $30.98. But the whole scale moves up every year, so figure $31-$32 by the time you get there.

    I hauled Amazon trailers around the Dallas Fort Worth area, it was all drop and hook, pretty easy, they have some cool apps that tell you where and when you got to drop and hook. But it was no benefits, but the pay was decent I made like 350 a night, I worked my day job then hauled Amazon trailers from 9pm-8 am.

    Fed Ex has benefits and the pay goes up yearly, if you plan to stay long term and gain seniority then you will get the good runs, till then you will be working the docks loading and unloading trailers, or driving load to another terminal, load and unload trailers there then drive a load back to your home terminal. But check Estes, Old Dominion, XPO Logictics, and other LTL’s in your area.

    How can you not take the job WITH benefits. Unless you’re other half has good benefits.

    So, since you got no positive reviews of Amazon, you decided to go with Fed-Ex? Seems like a legit way to make life choices...having others make those choices based on their opinions.

    ????? I believe the OP got solid advice. As a matter of fact, I think 100% voted for FED EX. Do you work for an Amazon Contractor! If so.........let the OP know why he should go with the Amazon job. That is the reason this forum exists. Ask for advice......give advice. Quite a concept me thinks!

    My vote is FedEx. Gotta have benefits, you may be young and healthy now, but you never what might happen next week. Start your retirement now and if you are careful you could retire by 50 and go do something else.
