Fedex ground?

I have a friend that worked there. They ran the $hy!t out of him. (over 4k) He said he had to keep playing comic book. They might have electronic these days. I'm sure they will run you 600 plus per day as well as any other ltl outfit that has road runners

 

I drive linehaul for a FedEx Ground contractor. The linehaul contractors here have dedicated runs, out and back. My run is 496 miles round trip paid miles are 486 per dispatch sheet. M-F, an occasional Saturday run if there is excess freight. I pull doubles, and an occasional 53', their equipment. Contractor provides the tractor. Can't help you on what the contractors are paid.

 

Evidently, it is hush hush!

 

A driver in Madison,Al told me he makes around 50-55k a yr. He said the runs are gravy.

 

A contractor's pay is based on numerous factors at Ground. You get paid differently if you run solo or team. You get paid differently for years of service. You get paid differently for safety. There is no set pay for contractors we have nine trucks currently at ground and almost every one of them are at a different rate. I would not recommend coming to FedEx Ground and running solo. I would start out running teams. You will be on the extra board and they offer runs based off of truck points. Truck points are gained by years of service with the tractors slot. So solo you might only run 2-3 days a week and that is it during non peak times. Now with teams you take a load going long you run all week long.

 

Don't think they pay that well but I hear they get a break on the fuel. It balances it out some.
