Thanks to everyone for watching and commenting! Sorry if my replies to comments are late, I go to school full time and still work at Fedex. I will try my best to reply in a timely manner from now on!
Cheyenne Walton I want work in fedex my English bad I'm from Morocco if came there no have any idee about working or where live I hope find help and I dress hijab fedex accept that or not
Why is everybody allowing this to go on. It's slave labor it's legal slavery it's happening at Amazon too why isn't anybody doing anything to stop this why is everybody working for such cheap labor. You can get insurance like someone said and the same amount of money flipping burgers so why would you go do that stupid crap. I'll tell you why because there's all kinds of people out there that don't give a f*** about the country and the Damage they're doing by working for pennies because of where they live before they didn't have running water or carpet on the floor. That's not our fault. Have some high standards get paid what you're worth don't let people take advantage of you because you actually have a couple dollars in your pocket that's ridiculous. You obviously got the job so you can work there so stand up for yourself and get paid what you're worth quit taking these low pays and letting these organizations take over our country these people are ruining our country
i was a package handler and quit after 3 weeks. They had me unloading. I didnt mind the fast paced work and sweating my ass off. So why did i quit?..the leadership. The managers were the worst and i couldnt stand to work for them anymore ✌ no leadership skills whatsoever..
Sun KiNGGG not really. Im former military so i know about slave labor. However, im now working for an aerospace company making twice as much. What are u doing with ur life? :)
I started working at a FedEx Ground location a few weeks ago. I love it so far. Some things are a bit different now/at my location. For our FT, you either work 2nd or 3rd shift, (no Twi/night combo) and start loading or unloading 8 hours a day. Definitely a workout, but I love the exercise and company and people so far. I actually stumbled upon this video when I was applying and trying to find more info about the job, and it was really helpful!
I'm actually a trainer rn and hoping to move up to ops manager eventually. So far, this has been the best job I've had so far and am thankful to be here.
Been there for a year. Started as a package handler at 12.65. After 7 months I became a yard switcher spotting trailers on door then a few months later became a seasonal admin then after 12 weeks as seasonal admin I became a permanent operations administrator making 15.10. I get insurance and a 401k and holiday pay. Most of my work is dispatching truck drivers to other stations, hubs or customer spots. I also have other things to do around the dock. I work at ground by the way. Great company to work for. You just have to be willing to break your back for a little while. It sucks in the beginning. Loading and unloading trailers just sucks. Youre killing yourself half the time just to meet goals. But if you stick it out youll make it
anthony ritter: >"permanent operations administrator making 15.10. I get insurance and a 401k and holiday pay. Most of my work is dispatching truck drivers" The SS had it pretty good in WWII Germany, too. Jews, not so much. You "luck" doesn't transfer to others.
It's true, it sucks in the beginning. For the first 6 months I was constantly breaking my back loading Chicago trailers but now I get to work as a splitter at one of the secondary split towers which is SO much better.
Cheyenne, this was an amazing video, awesome delivery and great information. I start at FedEx package handler tomorrow and your video really filled me in on what to expect. It doesn't sound too bad at all honestly
Hi Cheyenne, my name is Mike, I work the 5PM to 10PM shift Monday through Friday at a Fed Ex Ground here in MA. You are pretty spot on in your video, a couple of things though, just my thoughts only. Personally for me, I don't think this is a mentally taxing job. Physically yes, not mentally. I experience boxes overflowing at the sides when loading trailers, it's the nature of the beast, and it also depends if you are loading a very busy trailer. Some trailers are a lot more physically demanding than others. Some trailers you are standing there with your co-workers waiting for boxes to come your way, sometimes you can jump to other trailers to help out, all depends on the situation you are in. Like you, I don't take things personally. I've been in the work force since I was a teenager, experienced many different types of jobs and managers. You adapt, or you do not, it's all how you are built mentally. I don't know about the raises, the pay rate here in MA is higher. Higher cost of living, etc... Anywho, great video, and it is very informing. Thank you for sharing. - Mike
I’ve been working for FedEx for about a month now and when I first started I wanted to quit right away. It was a lot of work, constantly moving and lifting packages that weigh up to 150 pounds but after a while you get used to all the carrying and people help you out sometimes. At the location that I work at, it’s supposed to be the biggest FedEx warehouse in the U.S. I started out at 15.25 and I got a .25 cent raise after a month. We are eligible for raises and promotions very easily. You have to work your ass off to get there but eventually you’ll be making good money. I’ve been reading the other comments and I think it’s crazy how people are making $12.75 and they’re working as a package handler. I don’t think I would’ve kept the job if I was making that much just because it puts so much stress on your body. I worked in the trailer load side for about a month and then I asked to get moved to the unload side which is wayyyyy easier and less stressful, you just have to lift heavier boxes. I like my job and I’m glad I started here. If you work your ass off for the first few months and just think about the promotions you can get in the future it’s not so bad. I’m applying for the switcher position which is moving trailers around and you’d get paid around $17.
GrewalProductionz no, but I knew a few people that do it, and they love it. I did the eyms aspect of it, by moving the trucks through the system so the switchers know where to move the trucks to. But it’s a good job and you get paid good money for it
Great description of our company. I've worked at the Toledo hub for 6 yrs. I'm in the international gateway where we send packages to Canada. It's a little different than the rest of the hub. But our schedule is like the rest of the hub. Its hard work but it's a good job. I'm 55 and still working there. Every job has it's ups and downs but it's a job! Chris
I’m a week in and I’m making $13.80 an hour as a package handler. I’ve been very sore but I expect to get used to it soon. I like the people I work with and the job is actually pretty fun, key is come in with a good attitude and don’t be the guy that checks the clock over and over. Time actually flies when u don’t think about it
Take advantage and move around. Went from package handler to flight side to team leader...then I quit. Long time ago. Use the flight and school benefits. The job isn't as bad as most make it out to be. You get paid to work out. Can work as many shifts as you can or enjoy you free time and life after one shift...start your own business on the side. Use it to transfer to another state if you want. Peak season is a trip though.and holidays..but everyone is there to make it happen. We used to go out after work, throw house parties, travel together. Have fun and use it to your benefit.
This was actually a pretty cool video because I can tell that we work at the same hub. I'm not sure if you still work there, but I was there at the time of this video being published. It's a tough job for sure, but not terrible. The people are what make it pretty good and I always got along with my managers. Things have changed a bit since this and now the pay differential between full and part time is gone and all part timers got a dollar raise. We're also at a $15/hr starting rate with a $2 raise during peak. Also, there are six unload banks and not two, though they blend together in a way that makes it seem like two. While I've worked in most of the building at some point, my main area has always been load blue area ten!
i work for FedEx customer service, so i receive customer calls everyday, do package research etc. but i have to say for the almost 2 months i work for FedEx i have never had a more comfortable and good job as with FedEx. working atmosphere is really chilled, we had a lot of training in advance, had supervisors around for 2 weeks that we were into the job and now we are handling around 300 calls everyday as a team of 12 people. and there are not that many customer claims regarding shipments than i had thought there would be. i understand, that being a package handler is more of a physical challenge than being in the customer service, but everything has its pros and cons to it.
I've been working for fedex ground since July, went from package handler to yard switcher, and in all honestly they suck. They work you HARD. Being part time you dont get to take a break, going to the bathroom or grabbing a drink IS your break. Extremely high turn over rate. I have lost a bit of weight from the work load and lack of eating. The location im at in secaucus started compacting the work load, start time used to be at 4, they pushed it to 5, basically making you work the same work load and get gimped out of some cash. I was working 34-36 hours, got bumped down to 28-29 because of that. Doesnt help that my travel expenses to work come up to 200 to 400 a month. My suggestion to anyone considering fedex ground, avoid it unless you have no choice. They honestly suck.
Tru it is mentally taxing but more so physically. But ur right when u see those boxes tumbling down never ending.... I just tel myself oh well not much else I can do. And I find myself singing and acting a lil loopy😂 Ive been there over a month, FL. , I wanna quit but then I have an easy day. Unload is way easier than load. Unfortunately im stuck in load for now.
Hey. I just got hired yesteday, the FedEx I work at is pretty small so I’m in sorting only. Is that the same as loading? Can you tell me a little bit about it. Also heard I have to make t stacks etc any tips on sorting ?
hey, cheyenne, i just wanted to say good for you. not too many people think about the mental aspect of a physical job. whether it's fast-paced or not, it all will take an emotional toll eventually. i liked this video and it seems from this video that you've got your head on straight and can go far in your endeavors. so i take my hat off to you, young lady, for being brave to try something new/different and challenging yourself everyday.
i just wanted to give you some positive feedback. there's a lot of people on here that are making videos stating that people like yourself with only a few weeks on the job don't know enough to give advice. well, screw them! most people search for videos for what to expect now, not after a year or longer. they want to know what to expect from day one or week one so they can be as prepared as they possibly can. so that's why i told you that, and i meant every word. you stated you were in ohio, may i inquire as to which facility? if you're not comfortable with posting that on the open feed then you can reach me on facebook.
About hydration. Need to replace electrolytes sweated out as well. I stand only water the first 2 days. All my muscles started cramping up. Luckily I caught what was happening in time. I have to drink 2 Gatorade’s along with water.
UPDATE: I left. 2 months in. IMO: I feel like if you're the type of person that likes to work over and over and over and over non stop it's for you. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
Welcome to logistics people. I think a big mistake would be jumping into this as your first step. Much better to work at a retail location unloading trucks before trying to get into the distribution center side.
I live in Columbus ohio and was thinking about applying at FedEx Ground in grove city but I already have a full time job and I go in at 8:30pm and get off at 7:00am.. so would they be able to work around my other job?
My shift is 5pm to whenever the last truck gets there. We have 1. The strip 2. Primary ( where I work) we have 3 belts. The red, green and blue. The missorts go on the blue belt. We also have a non con belt. They don't go upstairs - too heavy / bulky. We also have 3. The outbound. I was in the outbound for my first 19 years. Now I'm in the primary. My knees can't take the outbound - it's mainly trucks and cans.
Was your interview for FedEx total crap I had one today lasted only two minutes and the woman didn't ask any questions about me at all didn't even ask if I had a high-school diploma or anything
The location I work at doesn't require a high school diploma to work there. They're mainly focused on getting people in there period. With this line of work they can't be too picky because it's hard enough to even get people to apply.
Great video!!! I am a truck driver, thinking maybe to drive for them in the near future... You were correct, I have done that type of work for them and UPS when I was younger in S.C.... I appreciate your effort, I will say to you, I am 48 yrs old and when I was a teen to mid 20s they used to pay $16 to $18 on the regular, just FYI, like most companies they don't want people to know, cause they are paying lower now a days... (BUT I LIKE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW) ;-D You should do more videos, you're good at it!!!! Well, have a great week!!!!
Joseph Stieby full time works 5 days a week with varying shift lengths, so does part time. Basically, there's four part time shifts and if you're full time you pick two of them and if you're part time you pick 1. Shifts at my hub can vary anywhere from 3-5 hours and it changes throughout the week. Hope I answered your question 😊
Cheyenne, I've been thinking about which airline to work for once I have enough flight hours and FedEx is one of them. I am not sure if your video provided all of the needed tips and details for being a FedEx freight dog but you have given me a better understanding of what ground folks in the sorting hubs have to deal with. No one really takes the time to think about how much effort went into bringing their packages in short time; fortunately I already knew. I wish more people appreciate the stuff work forces of shipping giants like FedEx have to deal with. Putting this video up was a good idea and hopefully more people come across it. PS: I like your personality and natural hair
let us know about the delivery drivers job. companies asking the drivers to get their heavy stuffs all the way up on the floors and even deep inside their companies when its not their job. Their job is to deliver at the door step, main door or reception or at the company door. What the customer does with it is their concern. And some of the buildings don't have elevators. Complete disastrous job to take.
Out of all four shifts which one would you say gets the most hours a week? I know depends but from what you seen working there which one would you say?
my job at fedex is pretty damn easy all i do is sort boxes that come on a belt and i have a partner that helps me, a lot of times i can sort while sitting down lol unless itsnreal busy, the new guys do get it tough tho, they usually start as a loader which is hard on the body
Cost of living is more expensive in those places though. Rent in southern california is bananas, New York is worse. I can fly to and from japan for a months rent.
I'm a loader for FedEx ground. I worked at federal express for years. FedEx ground is hard work! In the summer, the turnover rate is ridiculous. When I meet a new hire, I never expect to see them again. The hard, hot work scares most people away. Once you become accustomed to it, it's not bad :)
I got interviewed and background check is pending. I don’t know if that means I got it but I’ve worked in construction/concrete, field crop labor with onions, green Beans and others in the hot sun so I wonder if this will be easier, the same or harder than that.
@@respinoza89 if they're doing a background check I bet that means they're planning on hiring you provided the check doesnt reveal any unlawful mischief
Bikes are usually ICs, they are placed onto the IC belt and then placed on the rollers outside of the trailers. There are much bigger/heavier boxes than bikes though (mobility scooters, mattresses, trampolines, wooden crates, barrels, barbecues, poles etc.) all are easily handled with a little sliding/leverage on your side.
I wish you were the one who loads my truck... Our package handlers get paid $15.00hr starting here in Massachusetts and they do a shitty job at loading the trucks properly. Sometimes I have spent 2 hrs fixing my straight truck, mine is not a the van type.
Well I mean, when you have hundreds and hundreds of packages, and management that often times doesn’t care, you’re bound to have no time to properly sort everything to a T. Be grateful you even get your truck loaded.
I work for TNT in Belgium, the eurohub which has been purchased by FedEx. What you are telling is True. I am still a "normal handler" and you can not imagine what I have left during those last three years. I think it is thousands and thousands and thousands of tons of marchandise of all types. The equivalent of, I do not know, mabe douzens of 777. My body and mind are strong and they must be, indeed. I am considered as a very good worker and everybody tells me I should be a supervisor but apparently FedEx wants that position to disapear. They are talking about " coordinators" now. But I do not know what they really do. You look really smart by the way and I would be proud to get someone like you in my team. BEST REGARDS.
If youre gonna be a loader expect to be put on more than 1 trailer. Clear the chute for one trailer go to the next. You dont get to just stay in one trailer your whole shift.
If you need that set a schedule don’t apply to work for them. Or, if you’re desperate and they’re desperate they may, depending on management at the plant doing the hiring allow you to leave at a set time. It’s not policy but it’s been known to happen.
Ya the job is shit, but I'm doing it till I get a career I've been working towards. I see it as showing up to work, work out 3.5-5hr, and make $200-230 a week. Gives me something to do and puts some cash in my pocket. I'm planning g on pulling doubles or maybe full time
The only good FedEx to work at is Express. Working at a station is better pay. Working at a hub is more hrs. smaller pay. Some stations are busier than others so they get more hrs. It all depends on the area of the station.
Hi I've enjoyed your Fedex video. I live in Texas and I'm thinking about getting a full-time job at FedEx as a package handler like you. I am 44 years old. Have you seen people my age or older that are package handlers? What are the most hours for full-time a week and do they offer benefits?
Yes, one of my close work friends is about that age and he's worked there for almost 10 years! There are some people in their 40's who work with me. Every location is different in how much over time they allow you to work. At my location, from what I understand, you are allowed to work as much overtime as you want. Typically, at least within the past few months (I'm part time), I have heard that most people are getting a few hours of overtime every week working their normal shift . I'm sure it will be more as peak season grows closer. The benefits can also vary by location, but I know my location at least offers healthcare and dental benefits after you've worked 1,000 hours, paid holidays after a year and tuition reimbursement ($2,500 a year for part time and $5,000 a year for full time) after 60 days. Let me know if you have any more questions (:
Cheyenne Walton Thanks for getting back with me! I've never done this kind of work before. I've been a receptionist for the last 8 years so this is a whole new ball game I'm looking into. I'm going to inquire with the Fedex nearest me tomorrow. I've told my husband I would prefer a job more physical than sitting behind a desk all day answering phones. Thanks again!
You fly stand-by and must be in dress code. Fifty dollars round trip tickets to NY on Jet Blue. I've also jump seated on the cargo plane for free..was invited to sit in the cock pit before landing. This was "back in the day"..not sure how much has changed.
Thanks for this vid. I have orientation in the morning. In North Carolina I was told that its 10.45 an hr. i was told the pay increases every 3 mths....do you eventually move up to $12.20 or is that what you started at. Thanks again.
Christian Alvarez thanks for your reply. My first and second day were really good. I work at a smart post facility. But you never know what can happen...
The pay varies by location. For example, at my hub they just increased the payrate to start at $14.00 instead of $12.20. I don't know of any other locations in my area that are starting at that high of a rate. It all just depends on location.
Very late post but I started at fedex ground in Wallingford. I love it. It's part time,I can get into work and home by 9:45-10:00,I can spend some time with online school,and spend some time with my family. It's the easiest job on planet earth.
I work at a hub in California I loaded from Little Boxes to tires big boxes couches everything this job is not for everybody what they make it look like in a videos once you get hired they make it look easy but yes once you're in the truck loading it's reality check time to see how much strength and stamina you really have like I said this job is not for everybody I've been there a year and I love it
I know this is old but if you happen to read this and are just working the Xmas season, tell them you want to work full time to get the extra 5$ an hour then call in once a week or just show up 2 hours late. They need people SOOOOO bad they don't fire anyone. I worked with the laziest losers that hide in the bathroom and let their packages back up and nothing happens. They go through an entire town of unskilled workers every season. I saw dozens of people quit the first hour then more the first day then more the first week and so on. I worked with 100s of people in 2 months . It's insane.
I literally went to orientation and everything was sketchy as hell lol. I quit before I started 🤷. Sounded like the pay wasn't worth the toll on the body. I literally got there and they didn't ask my availability whatsoever. It was do you want one shift or another shift? No matter what shift I chose, they said I had to start at 4 in the morning regardless. So I was out before I was in. Simple as that 🤷
stop and think about it. how many people do you know that really like their job.? not that many. i have been lucky twice in my life to have had two jobs that i really liked. the one i retired after 26 years was not one of them. but it paid my bills and bought my house.
I currently work at FEDEX Express at Newark Airport and after 2 1/2 months I'm ready to quit and despite their good benefits I plan to walk away the end of August and will leave my ID with security. I'm looking forward to my last day.
Does courier delivery drivers load there own truck than go off on there deliveries? Or do they show up on there shift with there delivery truck already loaded for them? I’m curious...
At mean I work at FedEx ground package handler however Fridays to Mondays are really worst however it’s pretty much like hard work but at mean working as a team it might be easier that’s how we do it !
Bruh worked there for 2 days am quitting no breaks have to wait 10 months for insurance and can’t call out for couple months and yeah my back was already fucked so no I won’t kill myself for 15/hr
Its not that bad just depends on the person, some people like it some people hate it but its good work experience overall. Makes any job after seem fairly easy.
I also work at fedex ground i started full time about 3 weeks ago.and just a tip to anyone wanting to go fulltime you are going to feel how.you did when you first started part time. Tired and sore it will get better as the days go by. Money is good for full time i usually get paid for about 15 hours of overtime.
Im pre load in Tampa. First day at Fedex is sometime this week. Spent 6 years active duty infantry. Just got out Oct 4. At least this will help keep me in shape lol. Im looking for another part time job fot some extra cash.
The fed ex I work at is nuts I live in the NJ NY area where we make 14-15 an hour. Not worth it considering the cost of living is so expensive. in loading and unloading and the workload is fucking nuts. And the managers seem to have no leadership skills. My manager was a cool dude and I met another cool manager but all the other managers I met sucked. The employees where I work are really antisocial so it’s really just you and the boxes the entire time and training was awful. My trainer was deaf (awesome dude btw) so it was hard to understand sometimes but because I used to work at amazon I understood the concepts and it wasn’t too hard to transition. I even learned more in this video about how it operates than at my actual location. Anyways the workload is really overbearing for what you get paid. There’s no AC in the facility so it gets super fucking hot in the summer and although they talk about preventing injury.... it’s so easy to get injured and end up with no money. There’s trash all over the floor to slip on boxes are flying everywhere and after orientation there’s really no other formal training. Worst of all I see hard working people busting there ass and getting paid shit. Should at-least be 17 an hour here considering min wage is 10$
I just started at FedEx I love it so far ..I'm in CT at a main hub working sun ..your video here is great lots of good information great job definitely going to subscribe..ps your very cute :)
I worked loading trailers for about a month...i quite because they expected me to work a trailer by my self that was getting hit so hard the conveyor line was backed up constantly...because I could not keep up I was given an ultimatum. Quit,or get fired so I quite...it seems when peak is over management tries to weed out as many employees as possible because they don't want to pay the extra poeple..so they pressure them into quitting. The trailers are always filthy and the lines are always flooding with about a dozen boxes avalanching toward you at the same time...they don't give a damn about safety.
@@AB-xh4vr i thought about that....but my living situation at the time would not have permitted it. i was staying with a friend of mine for 200 a month,hes against unemplyment and sees it as a form of wellfair,had i gotton on unemployment he would have thrown me out. of course he ended up throwing me out sometime after that anyway so i guess it does not really matter at this point.
It's the biggest POS job I've ever worked. I'm a delivery driver. They pay drivers 150$ per day, no overtime compensation, no 401k, no benefits. They outsource their driver jobs through 3rd party contractors so they can get away with not providing a livable wage for the people that literally carry their company while they make $$$ and the contractors make money.
Thanks to everyone for watching and commenting! Sorry if my replies to comments are late, I go to school full time and still work at Fedex. I will try my best to reply in a timely manner from now on!
Cheyenne Walton I think I may have seen you at work today. I felt like a fan girl 😂 your videos helped me prep for this job.
Glad I could help (:
i am 65 retiree on medicare
I am working at FedEx Canada, I totally agree with you, I have exactly the same experience that you have mentioned, thanks for the video
Cheyenne Walton I want work in fedex my English bad I'm from Morocco if came there no have any idee about working or where live I hope find help and I dress hijab fedex accept that or not
No reason anyone should give this a thumbs down. She put a Lot of information in this.
Why is everybody allowing this to go on. It's slave labor it's legal slavery it's happening at Amazon too why isn't anybody doing anything to stop this why is everybody working for such cheap labor. You can get insurance like someone said and the same amount of money flipping burgers so why would you go do that stupid crap. I'll tell you why because there's all kinds of people out there that don't give a f*** about the country and the Damage they're doing by working for pennies because of where they live before they didn't have running water or carpet on the floor. That's not our fault. Have some high standards get paid what you're worth don't let people take advantage of you because you actually have a couple dollars in your pocket that's ridiculous. You obviously got the job so you can work there so stand up for yourself and get paid what you're worth quit taking these low pays and letting these organizations take over our country these people are ruining our country
she did a really good job
i was a package handler and quit after 3 weeks. They had me unloading. I didnt mind the fast paced work and sweating my ass off. So why did i quit?..the leadership. The managers were the worst and i couldnt stand to work for them anymore ✌ no leadership skills whatsoever..
Christian Alvarez how long did they say it would take before you could apply to move departments?
Chris Alvarez yeah okay you probably quit cuz ur a little pansy and the work is too hard for you thats bullshit
Sun KiNGGG not really. Im former military so i know about slave labor. However, im now working for an aerospace company making twice as much. What are u doing with ur life? :)
Chris Alvarez Lifting heavy ass weighhhhht
Farlado Lasi L'Sisfami they told us we had to dam near master one side before we could move somewhere else. Not worth it dude..
Guys the hours changes depend on volume and what time trailers come in.
Areli Flores Alvarez thanks cap
This is true, especially during peak season(Holidays)
Big time!
I started working at a FedEx Ground location a few weeks ago. I love it so far. Some things are a bit different now/at my location. For our FT, you either work 2nd or 3rd shift, (no Twi/night combo) and start loading or unloading 8 hours a day. Definitely a workout, but I love the exercise and company and people so far. I actually stumbled upon this video when I was applying and trying to find more info about the job, and it was really helpful!
I bet you love it so much now. Lol
How’s it going?
I’m on my 4th week and loving it
Lol you quit
I'm actually a trainer rn and hoping to move up to ops manager eventually. So far, this has been the best job I've had so far and am thankful to be here.

Been there for a year. Started as a package handler at 12.65. After 7 months I became a yard switcher spotting trailers on door then a few months later became a seasonal admin then after 12 weeks as seasonal admin I became a permanent operations administrator making 15.10. I get insurance and a 401k and holiday pay. Most of my work is dispatching truck drivers to other stations, hubs or customer spots. I also have other things to do around the dock. I work at ground by the way. Great company to work for. You just have to be willing to break your back for a little while. It sucks in the beginning. Loading and unloading trailers just sucks. Youre killing yourself half the time just to meet goals. But if you stick it out youll make it
anthony ritter: >"permanent operations administrator making 15.10. I get insurance and a 401k and holiday pay. Most of my work is dispatching truck drivers"
The SS had it pretty good in WWII Germany, too. Jews, not so much.
You "luck" doesn't transfer to others.
It's true, it sucks in the beginning. For the first 6 months I was constantly breaking my back loading Chicago trailers but now I get to work as a splitter at one of the secondary split towers which is SO much better.
Do you have a flexible schedule as you are promoted? That’s what’s most important to me.
Do you need CDL to be a FedEx switcher??
Thanks for the video! You answered a lot of my concerns about being a package handler
Cheyenne, this was an amazing video, awesome delivery and great information. I start at FedEx package handler tomorrow and your video really filled me in on what to expect. It doesn't sound too bad at all honestly
Have you changed your mind yet?
Hi Cheyenne, my name is Mike, I work the 5PM to 10PM shift Monday through Friday at a Fed Ex Ground here in MA. You are pretty spot on in your video, a couple of things though, just my thoughts only. Personally for me, I don't think this is a mentally taxing job. Physically yes, not mentally. I experience boxes overflowing at the sides when loading trailers, it's the nature of the beast, and it also depends if you are loading a very busy trailer. Some trailers are a lot more physically demanding than others. Some trailers you are standing there with your co-workers waiting for boxes to come your way, sometimes you can jump to other trailers to help out, all depends on the situation you are in. Like you, I don't take things personally. I've been in the work force since I was a teenager, experienced many different types of jobs and managers. You adapt, or you do not, it's all how you are built mentally. I don't know about the raises, the pay rate here in MA is higher. Higher cost of living, etc... Anywho, great video, and it is very informing. Thank you for sharing. - Mike
This was very helpful. Thanks 😊
I’ve been working for FedEx for about a month now and when I first started I wanted to quit right away. It was a lot of work, constantly moving and lifting packages that weigh up to 150 pounds but after a while you get used to all the carrying and people help you out sometimes. At the location that I work at, it’s supposed to be the biggest FedEx warehouse in the U.S. I started out at 15.25 and I got a .25 cent raise after a month. We are eligible for raises and promotions very easily. You have to work your ass off to get there but eventually you’ll be making good money. I’ve been reading the other comments and I think it’s crazy how people are making $12.75 and they’re working as a package handler. I don’t think I would’ve kept the job if I was making that much just because it puts so much stress on your body. I worked in the trailer load side for about a month and then I asked to get moved to the unload side which is wayyyyy easier and less stressful, you just have to lift heavier boxes. I like my job and I’m glad I started here. If you work your ass off for the first few months and just think about the promotions you can get in the future it’s not so bad. I’m applying for the switcher position which is moving trailers around and you’d get paid around $17.
Did you get to be a switcher?
GrewalProductionz no, but I knew a few people that do it, and they love it. I did the eyms aspect of it, by moving the trucks through the system so the switchers know where to move the trucks to. But it’s a good job and you get paid good money for it
@@ashleywilcrout5005 do you still work at fedex I work at the air side
Great description of our company. I've worked at the Toledo hub for 6 yrs. I'm in the international gateway where we send packages to Canada. It's a little different than the rest of the hub. But our schedule is like the rest of the hub. Its hard work but it's a good job. I'm 55 and still working there. Every job has it's ups and downs but it's a job!
Chris
You did great Cheyenne! Very informative and well narrated!
I’m a week in and I’m making $13.80 an hour as a package handler. I’ve been very sore but I expect to get used to it soon. I like the people I work with and the job is actually pretty fun, key is come in with a good attitude and don’t be the guy that checks the clock over and over. Time actually flies when u don’t think about it
Take advantage and move around. Went from package handler to flight side to team leader...then I quit. Long time ago. Use the flight and school benefits. The job isn't as bad as most make it out to be. You get paid to work out. Can work as many shifts as you can or enjoy you free time and life after one shift...start your own business on the side. Use it to transfer to another state if you want. Peak season is a trip though.and holidays..but everyone is there to make it happen. We used to go out after work, throw house parties, travel together.
Have fun and use it to your benefit.
How was it ?
This chick is pretty cool, she kinda gave me a good generalized idea of what my sunrise shift is gonna be like. Thanks for the vid!!
This was actually a pretty cool video because I can tell that we work at the same hub. I'm not sure if you still work there, but I was there at the time of this video being published. It's a tough job for sure, but not terrible. The people are what make it pretty good and I always got along with my managers. Things have changed a bit since this and now the pay differential between full and part time is gone and all part timers got a dollar raise. We're also at a $15/hr starting rate with a $2 raise during peak. Also, there are six unload banks and not two, though they blend together in a way that makes it seem like two. While I've worked in most of the building at some point, my main area has always been load blue area ten!
I appreciate your honesty in the pros and cons of the job.
i work for FedEx customer service, so i receive customer calls everyday, do package research etc. but i have to say for the almost 2 months i work for FedEx i have never had a more comfortable and good job as with FedEx. working atmosphere is really chilled, we had a lot of training in advance, had supervisors around for 2 weeks that we were into the job and now we are handling around 300 calls everyday as a team of 12 people. and there are not that many customer claims regarding shipments than i had thought there would be. i understand, that being a package handler is more of a physical challenge than being in the customer service, but everything has its pros and cons to it.
Presort shift is kinda like a kickstart for the regular shift so all of the workers won’t be have a long pause of empty belt running without packages
I've been working for fedex ground since July, went from package handler to yard switcher, and in all honestly they suck. They work you HARD. Being part time you dont get to take a break, going to the bathroom or grabbing a drink IS your break. Extremely high turn over rate. I have lost a bit of weight from the work load and lack of eating. The location im at in secaucus started compacting the work load, start time used to be at 4, they pushed it to 5, basically making you work the same work load and get gimped out of some cash. I was working 34-36 hours, got bumped down to 28-29 because of that. Doesnt help that my travel expenses to work come up to 200 to 400 a month. My suggestion to anyone considering fedex ground, avoid it unless you have no choice. They honestly suck.
Fedex ground probably has the highest turnover rate of any company of all time
My feet are so bruised it’s crazy.
Tru it is mentally taxing but more so physically. But ur right when u see those boxes tumbling down never ending.... I just tel myself oh well not much else I can do. And I find myself singing and acting a lil loopy😂 Ive been there over a month, FL. , I wanna quit but then I have an easy day. Unload is way easier than load. Unfortunately im stuck in load for now.
Hey. I just got hired yesteday, the FedEx I work at is pretty small so I’m in sorting only. Is that the same as loading? Can you tell me a little bit about it. Also heard I have to make t stacks etc any tips on sorting ?
hey, cheyenne, i just wanted to say good for you. not too many people think about the mental aspect of a physical job. whether it's fast-paced or not, it all will take an emotional toll eventually. i liked this video and it seems from this video that you've got your head on straight and can go far in your endeavors. so i take my hat off to you, young lady, for being brave to try something new/different and challenging yourself everyday.
Thank you (:
i just wanted to give you some positive feedback. there's a lot of people on here that are making videos stating that people like yourself with only a few weeks on the job don't know enough to give advice. well, screw them! most people search for videos for what to expect now, not after a year or longer. they want to know what to expect from day one or week one so they can be as prepared as they possibly can. so that's why i told you that, and i meant every word.
you stated you were in ohio, may i inquire as to which facility? if you're not comfortable with posting that on the open feed then you can reach me on facebook.
i kno w people that quit there or left after they were driven out ..the older people
Amazon's ok to work at depending on the facility easiest facility is a crossdock
About hydration. Need to replace electrolytes sweated out as well. I stand only water the first 2 days. All my muscles started cramping up. Luckily I caught what was happening in time. I have to drink 2 Gatorade’s along with water.

UPDATE: I left. 2 months in. IMO: I feel like if you're the type of person that likes to work over and over and over and over non stop it's for you. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
I don’t understand how overtime works. Do you have to be full time PH to get paid overtime or can part timers do it too? If so how?
Welcome to logistics people. I think a big mistake would be jumping into this as your first step. Much better to work at a retail location unloading trucks before trying to get into the distribution center side.
Can you elaborate more on Logistics???????
Fedex was my first job
I live in Columbus ohio and was thinking about applying at FedEx Ground in grove city but I already have a full time job and I go in at 8:30pm and get off at 7:00am.. so would they be able to work around my other job?
My shift is 5pm to whenever the last truck gets there. We have 1. The strip 2. Primary ( where I work) we have 3 belts. The red, green and blue. The missorts go on the blue belt. We also have a non con belt. They don't go upstairs - too heavy / bulky. We also have 3. The outbound. I was in the outbound for my first 19 years. Now I'm in the primary. My knees can't take the outbound - it's mainly trucks and cans.
Was your interview for FedEx total crap I had one today lasted only two minutes and the woman didn't ask any questions about me at all didn't even ask if I had a high-school diploma or anything
Keith Kratzer same here. Mine was today.... lasted 7-10 min
WELL DON'T WORK FOR THEM, YOU FUCKEN IDIOTS!!!
The location I work at doesn't require a high school diploma to work there. They're mainly focused on getting people in there period. With this line of work they can't be too picky because it's hard enough to even get people to apply.
Lol it's a package handler position they'll hire almost anyone
Keith Kratzer You don't need a diploma to lift boxes....
Great video!!! I am a truck driver, thinking maybe to drive for them in the near future...
You were correct, I have done that type of work for them and UPS when I was younger in S.C....
I appreciate your effort, I will say to you, I am 48 yrs old and when I was a teen to mid 20s they used to pay $16 to $18 on the regular, just FYI, like most companies they don't want people to know, cause they are paying lower now a days... (BUT I LIKE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW) ;-D
You should do more videos, you're good at it!!!!
Well, have a great week!!!!
Wow!!! I didn't know that. Now I'm definitely going to leave! Getting paid 11.90 for 2 or 3 hours man
You’ll be driving for a contractor.
When your full time do you work 4 days 10-hour shift? or Do you work 5 days? And does that also count for part-time as well?
Joseph Stieby full time works 5 days a week with varying shift lengths, so does part time. Basically, there's four part time shifts and if you're full time you pick two of them and if you're part time you pick 1. Shifts at my hub can vary anywhere from 3-5 hours and it changes throughout the week. Hope I answered your question 😊
Joseph Stieby yeah and or 5 hours
Federal Express ...you have more options...like Flight Side, RTD Driver, Ramp Agent and Mail Room.. Less physical.
Cheyenne, I've been thinking about which airline to work for once I have enough flight hours and FedEx is one of them. I am not sure if your video provided all of the needed tips and details for being a FedEx freight dog but you have given me a better understanding of what ground folks in the sorting hubs have to deal with. No one really takes the time to think about how much effort went into bringing their packages in short time; fortunately I already knew. I wish more people appreciate the stuff work forces of shipping giants like FedEx have to deal with.
Putting this video up was a good idea and hopefully more people come across it.
PS: I like your personality and natural hair
let us know about the delivery drivers job. companies asking the drivers to get their heavy stuffs all the way up on the floors and even deep inside their companies when its not their job. Their job is to deliver at the door step, main door or reception or at the company door. What the customer does with it is their concern. And some of the buildings don't have elevators. Complete disastrous job to take.
Out of all four shifts which one would you say gets the most hours a week? I know depends but from what you seen working there which one would you say?

my job at fedex is pretty damn easy all i do is sort boxes that come on a belt and i have a partner that helps me, a lot of times i can sort while sitting down lol unless itsnreal busy, the new guys do get it tough tho, they usually start as a loader which is hard on the body
What is the name of your job if it's not package handler
no wonder you're fat
Unloaders is worse
LOL ha ha ha ha@@Iwaxberrox
Oh so your a pick off same for me at ups it sucks when your get hit
Now they're getting $15 an hour in some states flipping hamburgers, meanwhile these people are busting their butts...go figure!
That's fucking crazy...
Cost of living is more expensive in those places though. Rent in southern california is bananas, New York is worse. I can fly to and from japan for a months rent.

I'm a loader for FedEx ground. I worked at federal express for years. FedEx ground is hard work! In the summer, the turnover rate is ridiculous. When I meet a new hire, I never expect to see them again. The hard, hot work scares most people away. Once you become accustomed to it, it's not bad :)
I got interviewed and background check is pending. I don’t know if that means I got it but I’ve worked in construction/concrete, field crop labor with onions, green Beans and others in the hot sun so I wonder if this will be easier, the same or harder than that.
@@respinoza89 if they're doing a background check I bet that means they're planning on hiring you provided the check doesnt reveal any unlawful mischief
Cheyenne how about big boxes like bikes?I mean do they get special handling or manually placed somewhere?
Bikes are usually ICs, they are placed onto the IC belt and then placed on the rollers outside of the trailers. There are much bigger/heavier boxes than bikes though (mobility scooters, mattresses, trampolines, wooden crates, barrels, barbecues, poles etc.) all are easily handled with a little sliding/leverage on your side.
@Sammy 423 It will be a great day when I can forget about hazmat packages.
Ericc1978 yes and then they are placed on electric motorized tuggers to transport them to their appreciate belt
I wish you were the one who loads my truck...
Our package handlers get paid $15.00hr starting here in Massachusetts and they do a shitty job at loading the trucks properly. Sometimes I have spent 2 hrs fixing my straight truck, mine is not a the van type.
Well I mean, when you have hundreds and hundreds of packages, and management that often times doesn’t care, you’re bound to have no time to properly sort everything to a T. Be grateful you even get your truck loaded.
I work for TNT in Belgium, the eurohub which has been purchased by FedEx. What you are telling is True.
I am still a "normal handler" and you can not imagine what I have left during those last three years. I think it is thousands and thousands and thousands of tons of marchandise of all types. The equivalent of, I do not know, mabe douzens of 777. My body and mind are strong and they must be, indeed. I am considered as a very good worker and everybody tells me I should be a supervisor but apparently FedEx wants that position to disapear. They are talking about " coordinators" now. But I do not know what they really do.
You look really smart by the way and I would be proud to get someone like you in my team.
BEST REGARDS.
I think it's stupid that as a package handler, we get paid 15hr but a small paycheck unless your FT and/or work 7days a week....working your life away
What happens if u have a box food open up........do they retape it???....is it safe to eat like falling on ground......like pasta boxes
If youre gonna be a loader expect to be put on more than 1 trailer. Clear the chute for one trailer go to the next. You dont get to just stay in one trailer your whole shift.
2023 I just got hired for package handler at FedEx pay rate is $17.50
I can't believe your start time varies that much day to day......what if you have kids and need a set schedule?
If you need that set a schedule don’t apply to work for them.
Or, if you’re desperate and they’re desperate they may, depending on management at the plant doing the hiring allow you to leave at a set time. It’s not policy but it’s been known to happen.
Yeah I lasted a week
Ya the job is shit, but I'm doing it till I get a career I've been working towards. I see it as showing up to work, work out 3.5-5hr, and make $200-230 a week. Gives me something to do and puts some cash in my pocket. I'm planning g on pulling doubles or maybe full time
P.S. You gave a VERY honest description of most all aspects of the job. Kudos to you . Wish you well. I loaded trailers in my younger yrs!
Thanx for this info.
Most comprehensive video about FedEx Ground package handler job’s ins and outs
I just got hired as a part time handler if I'm put as a loader can I request to be a unloader
The only good FedEx to work at is Express. Working at a station is better pay. Working at a hub is more hrs. smaller pay. Some stations are busier than others so they get more hrs. It all depends on the area of the station.
Package handlers need to be paid more, management needs to be trained to stop being a holes..FedEx is known for not paying
I start Monday in Twinsburg Ohio-I think it's the 3 am to 7am shift ? Is it loading?
Wish I could like this 10 more times! Thanks a lot!
Hi I've enjoyed your Fedex video. I live in Texas and I'm thinking about getting a full-time job at FedEx as a package handler like you. I am 44 years old. Have you seen people my age or older that are package handlers? What are the most hours for full-time a week and do they offer benefits?
Yes, one of my close work friends is about that age and he's worked there for almost 10 years! There are some people in their 40's who work with me. Every location is different in how much over time they allow you to work. At my location, from what I understand, you are allowed to work as much overtime as you want. Typically, at least within the past few months (I'm part time), I have heard that most people are getting a few hours of overtime every week working their normal shift . I'm sure it will be more as peak season grows closer. The benefits can also vary by location, but I know my location at least offers healthcare and dental benefits after you've worked 1,000 hours, paid holidays after a year and tuition reimbursement ($2,500 a year for part time and $5,000 a year for full time) after 60 days. Let me know if you have any more questions (:
Cheyenne Walton
Thanks for getting back with me! I've never done this kind of work before. I've been a receptionist for the last 8 years so this is a whole new ball game I'm looking into. I'm going to inquire with the Fedex nearest me tomorrow. I've told my husband I would prefer a job more physical than sitting behind a desk all day answering phones. Thanks again!
Hey , how are the employee flight benefits? What is the discount like? What airlines can you get discount with?
You fly stand-by and must be in dress code. Fifty dollars round trip tickets to NY on Jet Blue.

It's hard thanks for the information
Thanks for this vid. I have orientation in the morning. In North Carolina I was told that its 10.45 an hr. i was told the pay increases every 3 mths....do you eventually move up to $12.20 or is that what you started at. Thanks again.
sacha combs I just quit last week. They started me off at $12.83 here in california.
Christian Alvarez thanks for your reply. My first and second day were really good. I work at a smart post facility. But you never know what can happen...
The pay varies by location. For example, at my hub they just increased the payrate to start at $14.00 instead of $12.20. I don't know of any other locations in my area that are starting at that high of a rate. It all just depends on location.
sacha combs I make 14.10 the hour and it increases 30 cents every 4 months
Jason Librado good Day. I left after 6 wks. I got a part time job with the postal service. Thanks so much for your response!

Thanks for the video! When you got hired did they hold your first check like some jobs or you got paid the first week you worked?
ray ray yes paychecks are always behind a week
I work at a hub in California I loaded from Little Boxes to tires big boxes couches everything this job is not for everybody what they make it look like in a videos once you get hired they make it look easy but yes once you're in the truck loading it's reality check time to see how much strength and stamina you really have like I said this job is not for everybody I've been there a year and I love it
I know this video mentions different roles, do they put females to unload ? If so can others help if box may be too heavy
I know this is old but if you happen to read this and are just working the Xmas season, tell them you want to work full time to get the extra 5$ an hour then call in once a week or just show up 2 hours late. They need people SOOOOO bad they don't fire anyone. I worked with the laziest losers that hide in the bathroom and let their packages back up and nothing happens. They go through an entire town of unskilled workers every season. I saw dozens of people quit the first hour then more the first day then more the first week and so on. I worked with 100s of people in 2 months . It's insane.
I literally went to orientation and everything was sketchy as hell lol. I quit before I started 🤷. Sounded like the pay wasn't worth the toll on the body. I literally got there and they didn't ask my availability whatsoever. It was do you want one shift or another shift? No matter what shift I chose, they said I had to start at 4 in the morning regardless. So I was out before I was in. Simple as that 🤷
Damn
stop and think about it. how many people do you know that really like their job.? not that many. i have been lucky twice in my life to have had two jobs that i really liked. the one i retired after 26 years was not one of them. but it paid my bills and bought my house.
Good way of thinking.

I also work at fedex ground i started full time about 3 weeks ago.and just a tip to anyone wanting to go fulltime you are going to feel how.you did when you first started part time. Tired and sore it will get better as the days go by. Money is good for full time i usually get paid for about 15 hours of overtime.
I currently work at Fedex, and I THINK I work that "pre-sort" shift you don't/didn't know of....
Im pre load in Tampa. First day at Fedex is sometime this week. Spent 6 years active duty infantry. Just got out Oct 4. At least this will help keep me in shape lol. Im looking for another part time job fot some extra cash.
The fed ex I work at is nuts I live in the NJ NY area where we make 14-15 an hour. Not worth it considering the cost of living is so expensive. in loading and unloading and the workload is fucking nuts. And the managers seem to have no leadership skills. My manager was a cool dude and I met another cool manager but all the other managers I met sucked. The employees where I work are really antisocial so it’s really just you and the boxes the entire time and training was awful. My trainer was deaf (awesome dude btw) so it was hard to understand sometimes but because I used to work at amazon I understood the concepts and it wasn’t too hard to transition. I even learned more in this video about how it operates than at my actual location. Anyways the workload is really overbearing for what you get paid. There’s no AC in the facility so it gets super fucking hot in the summer and although they talk about preventing injury.... it’s so easy to get injured and end up with no money. There’s trash all over the floor to slip on boxes are flying everywhere and after orientation there’s really no other formal training. Worst of all I see hard working people busting there ass and getting paid shit. Should at-least be 17 an hour here considering min wage is 10$
FedEx Ground is a great place....................For me to poop on!
That was funny the first time Triumph the Puppet Dog said it back in 2001

Quit,or get fired so I quite...it seems when peak is over management tries to weed out as many employees as possible because they don't want to pay the extra poeple..so they pressure them into quitting. The trailers are always filthy and the lines are always flooding with about a dozen boxes avalanching toward you at the same time...they don't give a damn about safety.

It's the biggest POS job I've ever worked. I'm a delivery driver. They pay drivers 150$ per day, no overtime compensation, no 401k, no benefits. They outsource their driver jobs through 3rd party contractors so they can get away with not providing a livable wage for the people that literally carry their company while they make $$$ and the contractors make money.
No way you are "just" a package handler--Package handlers are the lifeblood of the operation. This coming from a SRM.
Both package handlers and the drivers bringing the packages for you to handle are the lifeblood.
Nope package handlers are the lowest tier, they have new package handlers every week
