James, I am a FedEx Courier in Canada, and you are very accurate in your feedback. We work in the same building as Ground, and YES they are very different from Express. Your views are pretty similar to mine here in Canada, very accurate and great video! Overall though this is a Great Employer to work for, especially in this rural environment that I live in, here in Canada.
I accepted job offer and went and did drug test and background test. My application says “inactive” instead of “active” now. It’s been a week since I heard back. Is that normal when should I hear back for orientation? BTW I’m in Atlanta. Applied for courier.
It's hard to say because I had a similar experience. It was a whole month after I did all my tests before I heard back. Apparently, who was over onboarding totally lost me in the shuffle.........very unprofessional. You should check with them.
@@Christianmendez-ig8xg yesterday, I told dispatch “don’t you have anyone to help with these pups, I’m only ONE PERSON!!” Dispatch said “it’s E star” going from town after town makes NO COST Efficient logical sense!!! I threaten to quit yesterday and my manager said please don’t we’re going back to normal next week we’re only going back to normal next week because our station is a hot mess
@@jarquez1427 full timers and part timers all begin working in the station first pulling freight for their trucks off a belt, Off loading frieght, putting labels on packages, sorting, making sure everything goes to the right place. Do pre/post checks for company vehicles. When everything is done everybody sorts the freight in the trucks then go deliver before a certain commit time. Full timers work longer as they get more guaranteed hours and pay. Some get a mon-fri while others have a tues-sat schedule.
Buna seara du Curier , de ce eu 9 luni de zile am făcut transfer de bani și nu au ajuns nici un pachet și am perdut 10 000 euro , unde sunt donațiile mele , trăesc în Moldova , mă numesc Druță Iuliea.😢
@@truthshallsetufree1295 I agree but as you deliver you get a breeze from the outside to makeup for it since you get out of the truck like every other minute lol
@@adamwoodie4029 I was told it was somewhere between $24 and $28. I don’t remember the exact number. But that’s what ups starts with, which is crazy, considering they’re the same exact job.
@@jarquez1427 I got on at ups as a package handler when I was 18 or 19, but had no idea what an opportunity it was just getting in the door. I walked out and was placed on the do not hire list. That was in ‘04 or ‘05. You live and you learn.

A rural route is definitely more laid back for sure! That’s what I had.
I work at FedEx express in California and right now for courier starting is $23.50 hr and most are just part time positions
Did they drug test you ?
@touchmoneybrodie yes
@@jonlong5541 at the interview?

You forgot pick ups and on call pickups including deliveries. Those are overwhelming especially when you have E star
E Star is whack
@@CAUZMO it's awful, we're bout to start running it everyday now
E star is HORRIBLE, it’s like being disrespected of your LOGIC, and disrespected of your TIME
@@believeinlove3724 yeah it sucks, so much anxiety

Good video G
Good video, how long did it take you to hear back from them after applying? Also are there cameras watching you in the truck?
It about a month, and they didn't have cameras in our trucks at the time. But, they may now.
I just started this week. Got done with orientation, I have to ask, how often did you go over the 8 hrs?
8 hours is the least amount hours I'll work at Express... depends on the route you get tho
Most days were usually 9 - 10, and longer during the holidays.
Did they require dot physical?
@@AMIR-jq9jt yes they do.
I’m in Ohio and got started at 25/hr an extra 1.67 for condensed areas 18 is crazy
Do they require dot physical? or will they pay for it if so
Only if you’ll be driving a dot regulated vehicle. And they’ll pay for it.
What about the benefits?
Benefits are typical, nothing too extravagant. They didn’t offer anything most other companies don’t.
The health is kinda bad but the dental and vision are great
which FedEx express driver position drive the sprinter Vans
For my station only full time couriers drive the sprinters.
@@ellismcraunchers86 are you in middle ga area if so wat does the full time courier position consist of?
@@jarquez1427 No I'm in pa area.

Do you need a high school diploma to work with FedEx Express?
Yes. But most jobs don’t actual check like they use to.
Not really not all I’ve done contract with ground and get 19 an hour

UPS is the way to go! That’s what I’m trying to go after soon
UPS does pay good buy the no ac and no heat in van is crazy.

$22.43 for swing driver for fedex express in Kansas city
were you able to keep your phone with you in the truck? and listen to music
Thanks for the video
I’m in Texas brother and have an interview tomorrow. Do they drug test? If so what does the test consist of? Is it a pee or swab from your mouth?
@@paperrouteant4428 I’m not mistaken, it was a pee test.
@@jamesandersonreviews how long did it take for the results to come back? Was anyone with you in the bathroom while you took the pee test?
@@paperrouteant4428 this is my same question. I have my drug screen this Thursday!
Ground is contracted aka you dont make shit. Ive worked w both.
What is top pay at express?
🎯🎯🎯
@@jamesandersonreviews do you know?
@@adamwoodie4029 I was told it was somewhere between $24 and $28. I don’t remember the exact number. But that’s what ups starts with, which is crazy, considering they’re the same exact job.
@@jamesandersonreviews I was a UPS driver for the past 15 years... I was up to 39 an hour... Made 118,000 in 2021
Maan, bottom line is IMO, FEDEX SUCKS! both Ground And Express!
I agree, tbh. They are under-paid because they have no union. UPS tops out at double the pay.
@@jamesandersonreviews so why not go for UPS just asking cause I'm thinking about either goin FedEx express or ups

@@jamesandersonreviews dat real right there well I'ma take yo advice by going FedEx express since I'm in ga too
💯..unless you start flipping job position at FedEx it will be a very slow climb to the top..raises only once a year
Is not $18 is $15 after taxes
