We shouldn't judge people by how much they make, but by their character instead 🔥

I'm in CT and get paid $1.25 per stop plus 10 cents for each additional package. I'm usually anywhere from 130-150 stops after peak and done by 1:30. After it's all said and done, I average anywhere between $35-$40 an hour

Last part is so true. I began working for FedEx ground today and I told him I only wanna work 3-4 days. Learning to enjoy living frugally and taking care of your mental and physical health as well as spending time with family or doing hobbies is so much more important than making a lot of money.

Thanks for making this man ! Thanks for the transparency

Appreciate how humble you are!

I couldn't agree more about having that extra time for yourself. I work from home in the mortgage industry and I can either have smooth days or very frustrating days. After watching your videos, I even sometimes just want to quit my job and become a FedEx driver lol, but I'm 41 years old and live on Long Island, NY so I feel like it would be tougher for me due to my age (not having as much energy) and most likely having to work longer hours &/or weekends on top of that. Not sure I could handle it all but I do like the gig you have going. I normally work M-F as well and with my industry, it can be busy or kinda dead so sometimes I will have OT and other times (like today), I'll only work for about 3 - 4 hours. Anyway, thanks for sharing and good luck out there! I always look forward to your videos. Stay safe!

great vid as always. thanks for sharing. more pls

Thanks for putting all your cards on the table. Appreciate it a lot.

I get paid $165/day on a rural route averaging 70 stops per day. I used to run a city route running 150+ stops per day. I’ll take the country route any day of the week

Love your videos man, you gave me a lot of game coming into FedEx ground, I was at DHL for 7 years and decided to come to FedEx ground to give it a try, I’m about to hit 3 month, they pay me by the day and work 170 based then $2 more after 150 stops, I usually to 180 stops a day, and get done by 3 the Latest

I love your videos bruv and the way you say FedEx 🤙 I work at FedEx on the weekends (Friday and Saturday.) Attending college courses M-Th. Your humbleness is awesome. And your videos have made me a better employee. Thank you!

Love the videos man 🔥 keep up the great work !! 💪🏽🙏🏼

Hey man I like your videos. I get 22 per hour as well but no time and a half pay. However if I do 200 stops a day(for example) and the sum of that multiplied by 1.20(1.50 on Mondays) is greater, then I get that instead. It’s a good deal if you do stops fast enough and you can actually make way more than you would with overtime. Also get full benefits.

Where I am it’s 130 a day some places $15 an hr, now we got to see how much you get from KZfaq! Love the videos

Thank you for the breakdown!

I’m in maine I make 210 per day . Paid vacations and holidays health insurance and annual bonus . Doing 120-160 stops a day between 7-9 hours

Hey man I’m from NJ and flied out to California to live. Its true, that is NJ culture to work 45+ hours. Starting FedEx for the first time in a week. Thank you for sharing man💯

I respect you my guy. Love your wisdom and videos

We love you man keep on being you!

Great video. I love that app. My company uses ADP as well.

Yeah being happy is more important than money, as long as you are making enough to support your needs/wants.

I started as a Fedex ground driver today. It's 180 a day. 138 stops. After 130 stops I get an extra $1 per stop. So I made $188 by working 11 am to 6pm. Not bad..but I am tired. I'm in San Diego CA. It's not easy...you'll be tired but I chose to work Sun/ Mon- Thu/ Fri. 4 on 3 off. Not bad. But imma ask for 200 a day soon.

I have deep appreciation to your craft. I believe you guys are very underpaid. You are essential workers that work rain or shine. Keep up the hustle.

I like that you was being honest other KZfaqrs don't show you how much they really get paid I live in North Carolina I gotta interview Wednesday for FedEx ground

Starting fed x ground tomorrow morning but I will tell you I was making 1200 a week with Uber eats can't wait to get my account reactivated nice of you to give me the ins and outs of this gig tho

I got a new deal with my contractor this year(new ownership). I do business and home delivery combine. I get $210 per day plus bonus so I make around $1200-1300 weekly for 40 hours. Home delivery start at $1 per stop then $1.3 and I am on business route so I get $1.5 per stop on top of it.

My dad is a contractor he pays all of his drivers $180 and a couple $200 a day. They all do between 150-200 stops with 25-40 mile routes. 90% residential routes. Most of his drivers are done between 2:30-4. (I drive for my dad)

I agree with you I don’t believe in overtime👍👍nice video bro👏👍

I love that last statement you said about time. There’s more to life than trying to make a lot of dough lol

You really seem like a great guy dude. Best of luck in all you do.

Respect!! UPS is a lot better but you seem happy so that’s all that matters!

Thank you so much! Just got hired

Up here in Vancouver, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 FedEx is offering $20 to/$35 for Warehouse and Drivers with full benefits

I am currently a fedex ground driver in Mississippi. I deliver to a residential heavy route In Jackson ms with our terminal located in pearl ms. My contractor pays me around $120-$130 a day and I usually work around 50-60 hours a week 7 days a week. The pay is around $670 for 7 days after taxes.

Damnnn that’s crazy, I’m in Austin tx, full time and I’m a lead driver , I get paid per day and per stop, if I’m doing over flow I get $180 and if I’m on route, I get the automatic $200 and if I pass 200 stops I get paid per stop

Im going on 3 months at FedEx ground in Washington state. My contractor pays me 20.00 an hour. Push about 55 hours a week. Thankfully we get paid weekly, i take home just over a grand a week. Love my job. Would not trade it for anything. Have worked for DHL And ontrac

Chris i love your videos

Thanks. Looking into becoming a driver.

I work a business heavy route that features a whole bunch of hospitals and clinics in a medical district which also includes an entire university. I get paid $1 per delivery stop, $1.05 per pickup stop and $0.18 for every single package I scan regardless of delivery or pickup so on average I get about 105 delivery stops, 6 pickups and around 450 to 550 total packages scanned, so if you do the math that's around $192 to $210 per day so over the course of a week that adds up to between $960 and $1050 before taxes.

Nice video, bro. Do they allow you to work OT whenever you want, or only when it’s actually needed?

Working for FedEx was both the best and worse job I had lmao. But I loved coming into work everyday because of the team I was apart of and having a close bond with my co workers and managers, and the job is easy and I’m good at it. I ended up leaving after 6 months to attend the police academy. And after my training the owner of the contractor hired me back and gave me a BC position and now I’m still able to drive on my off duty days and run point early in the mornings before I go on duty. Cop salary is good but not enough lol

Since starting as a Swing at Express about 4 months ago, I've been making $1000 - $1600/week, but I've been working between 55-70 hours every week. The money is great, but not much time for anything else other than work, eat, sleep, repeat until it slows back down.

I ran routes in Montana I was getting salary , moved to utah. Now I get paid per stops I average 200 stops a day .10 cents per package. 💪🏽

I just got hired in northeast PA at a FedEx CSP… I haven’t started yet but pay is $750/week (5 days) + $60/week safety bonus… so as long as you don’t hit anything with the truck you make $810 ($150/day + $60/week bonus)… if you get OT and work a 6th day you get time and a half which would be $1,035/week… as far as I know there isn’t any bonuses for stops or anything

exactly, that’s some culture in FedEx. there’s so much more than just to work 45-60 hrs a week. the money is great, but time is real gold lol

I start in 2 days and the base pay pretty low compared to other places ($140 base + $1 per stop). The good thing is that I’m planning to get my CDL by start of of next year so it’s perfect to save up until then. At least I won’t have to go back to a minimum wage job. All those here pay $10/hr. South Texas by the way.

I get paid $1.50 per stop in Houston, average around 700 to 850 stops a week.

I'd advise Ground drivers to get their CDL and come over to Fedex Freight. More money and less work. We get paid in multiple ways like milage, breaks and hooks, hourly if you run the city or work the dock, fueling, etc. My pay averages out at $51.55 per hour and that's also what they pay for vacation time taken.

You make honest money. No judgement here bro

Not a bad hourly. $22.XX. But you really should switch to express. New hires (if you can get into an station that is hiring) start at $18.xx or higher depending on the district pay. But you’ll get overtime easily and you get 8% match by putting at least 6% down. And individual health coverage is at $6/check (weekly) with decent coverage. And $26/check for family coverage (regardless of amount of members). Plus much less stops than ground if you’re in a smaller city. But even if you do have the same amount of stops as ground you’re area is small. But often much less bulky items comparably. UPS is obviously the bigger payout but also works you as hard as ground if not more.

To answer why they chose to operate with contractors.. i believe its to not have to deal with the union.

UPS I started in December 2021, right during peak. My best check I made gross $2600 in one week , only did like 55 hours

The turn overrate super high in location in Florida where I'm at . Nothing's Changing smh. I'm about ready to walk. A new path of work soon

I worked FedEx ground in south SF in 2020 and my checks would come out to 1511 every two weeks. Now I’m in Michigan making 1154 every two weeks with ground, I definitely miss the pay. I hope to make more in Florida

thanks for sharing this info! Im a fedex ground driver and get paid $200 a day. I also get an additional $1 per stop after 140. I average around 120-160 stops a day. After taxes im making around 780-920 a week and thats working 5 days.

I mean …….. they usually call off people who don’t pull weight 🤭 other then that you explain this well ! I’m a fedex driver is sol cal California!

Well i guess the pay here in chicago is way better , i make 200 dls a day, i only work Monday to Wednesday

Fedex Ground Driver I make $1,100 a week salary, after taxes $900 a week and i work 35-40 hrs a week 50-70 stops and 6 pickups

I start next week, Is getting paid per hour better than getting paid per stops or other way around ? I’m new to doing this kind of delivery job. Before I was doing Uber eats

I run city routes. Step van driver. About 150+ a day. On a good day with no or little heavy items, i can finish around 3pm. On other days with heavy items, i can finish around 5pm . Neighborhoods i delivery, customers be having hilly driveways or lot of stairs.

I’m a package handler and some drivers are quitting but one is quitting because he had to deliver 60 packages to one stop and got paid 1$ 💀 like fed ex gotta do better

Its similar to my country but I work for FedEx Express (ops) and only part time :D

As an amazon driver we get paid 24 an hour in minnesota weekly pay, 10 hours guarantee pay per shift

I’m only a package handler I’m make just about $430 a week I did get a dollar raise bout week ago that’s after taxes with out taxes would be 525-530 to be specific n that’s about 30hrs for me

I got paid more than I expected by my FedEx ground contractor, but definitely less than you. It was the most miserable and fun at the same time job ever. I did a 75 stop rural route job in a Transit without AC. And I did it at age 40. Only 6 months before we moved away and now work at an insurance company. yay. *sigh* I miss driving.

I see that they take more taxes from you compare to me in California like by 60 bucks I kinda make the same thing per week with Amazon

So, do you have your weekends off? And is it unusual for a FedEx Ground driver to have weekends off? I really enjoy your videos. I just discovered your vlog last month when I was looking for info and opinions about working at FedEx. Cheers!

I'm in Pennsylvania, working for Express, and my pay is kinda mixed.

Holy crap dude! I usually average about 55hrs a week up here in Maine as a driver. And I'm hourly so I usually make really good money! I couldn't imagine being salary! When I started this last November like the week before I started my contractor was doing salary for the drivers at $700 a week which for how many hours a week we work would have sucked! All of our routes are in northern Maine so it usually takes at least an hour n half just to get to my first stop. Some of the guys I know on our team literally success Drives to the Canadian boarder! Average about 70 stops a day right now but yeah a lot of my time is just driving to and from the terminal!

I work for a contractor, 4 days a week, I average around 6 hours a day work, 24 hours a week. My contractor pays me for daily work no matter how many hours it takes and I come home with 650 a week before taxes. The other contractor on my line pays 1 dollar per stop above 150 stops but my contractor doesn't do that. It's just a fixed amount. I also don't think I would receive hourly overtime. Also my average stops per day is somewhere around 100

Thanks

Hi man, I will appreciate if you tell me your opinion about that to be a contractor. Which way is best to became a contractor, how money is needed?

My contractor pays $150 per day after 90 days goes to $160 and if you deliver 200 stops its $1.40 per stop.

Bro I'm gonna apply at fed ex thanks for the video

for example if you get pay by the hour and you finish early can you just hand around or must go back to the wearhouse?

I have a Question? I have been with Fedex Express about 7 months..I was so excited when i got the job..Although i work part time NOT MY CHOICE..IM only getting maybe 3 hours per day 3 days a week..Im getting frustrated and my hopes are being crushed so im having to work 2 jobs just to make it..I honstly thought i would be making more by now..Can a FX go to FG..oh and we FX AND GROUND are in the same building they leave before we come in..any thoughts please

What about during peak? Do you load your own truck? Package handlers can’t keep up in Ohio

glad you're being honest. ALOT of drivers lie about pay because this job is so backbreaking and were not compensated for it enough. I understand the atmosphere you speak of about certain drivers bragging about their stop count/stop per hour when in reality the company doesn't give a damn about us lol. The taxes in NY/NJ are eating your pay that's why it looks less. Don't worry about working 7 days lol, you'll burn out faster if you do.

Do all independent contractors of FedEx Ground have to pay time and half overtime for over 40 hour work weeks or how does the OT structure work?

Time is just as valuable pay. You are doing well.

I had no problem with what I was paid at Amazon delivery, I left because of the unprofessionalism and the immaturity of those I worked with and the I don’t care way everyone did things , the major reason I quit is the Vans the Dsp I had were a danger to myself and others on the road and were never repaired and getting yelled at and ridiculed for flagging things that were a major concern on DVIC was not the way I wanted to work. Also the experience is something else I want, I hope to someday have a job at UPS and possibly make a career out of it.

😱 i made 1,127 my first week at ups i have worked for fed ex it was fun but weekly @ ups is nice either way its hard work. i was thinking of going back to fed ex they have4/10 thats also nice

LOVE U MAN I make $160 a day working for ground honestly you think it’s good or an underpay?

Every contractor countrywide pays different and on a different scale, so this video is just an example. Contractors here in the Midwest do not pay overtime because you are paid per day and no matter how long you work, its the same pay. FedEx originally did this as a way to get around the law which would have put them on a similar playing field as UPS. It has worked well ($$$$) as a Corp but service for the customer has greatly suffered.

Im waiting for my background check and I will start to make money amazon flex dont have too many blocks and gas its going too expensive

I’d have to bring home after insurance taxes 800 a week at almost 50 hours of work to break even with this job

FedEX Ground drivers get paid on a salary basis not hourly. In Ontario (Canada) they got paid like 180 ca$ per day which encourages drivers to run to houses, businesses, condos, drive fast, disobey stop signs to save time. They try to finish their job within 8 hours but contractors/managers always push them so they spend more and more time. If they work 6 or 7 days a week NO OVERTIME just plain salary 180 CA$/day. Due to running this winter I fell a few times on ice/snow luckily no injury or detected so far. If the driver takes longer than 8 hours this job is not worth it HIGH RISK and low pay. Salary based pay system should be ILLEGAL as it's not only dangerous for drivers but other people on road. I hope other people understand too what delivery drivers go through everyday.

How do you feel about being told you are a independent contractor but they still tax your check?

THANKS for you honest and real video... makes me feel better I'm not a driver and can never drive for fedex again.. dui. 3 of them... and I still make more.

have you ever did a Bulk Route? if so do other routes transfer packages to you

I start next week. My contractor is paying $160/day, extra $100 weekly bonus, or $20/day. Any stops after 150 is an extra $1.10 and after 200 stops all are paid out at 10¢ per stop. So on a great day with all incentives it’s up to $255/day.

I work 32 hours... or 35... way harder work than window time... but I also make 788 after tax...... not his 570... but I also work the most complex and physical demanding route. I do about 500-700 packages per day. And he is probably at about 135 packages

Shits. That’s around 3K a month, before taxes. How do you survive on that in NJ?

I work for ground and make 900 a week, working about 35 hours or sl

I was curious what the day pay would look like if they did convert to hourly or what would this position pay if it was hourly , if my contractor went hourly I’d probably ask for a larger route because it usually doesn’t take me 8 hours to run my work area and I don’t have late pickups on my route, so at 40 hours a week do you work 4 days or 5 days?

Not sure what state u work in, but here in Baltimore,Md we don’t do no hourly.I’ve been working for 11 years n I’ve only seen stop pay or base pay.$22/hr isn’t good money for any of the terminals I’ve been at or the different contractors I’ve heard pay scale.glad I don’t live in New Jersey

I know this is pretty late but I was wanting to ask if you HAVE to start out as a package handler before you can become a driver. Or if I can just straight up apply for the driver position itself

Seeing the tax cut from my paychecks is why im going back to school and going to work for myself. It's ridiculous to think we have to have taxes taken out of OUR paychecks. When you then think about how much money state, federal gov, and ppl at the White House spend on just foolish bs, you wonder why tf cant they cover the damn taxes.

I've been with FedEx since 2017. I felt like a shitbag because I kept switching contractors for the first several years. I've worked for 5 different contractors. I was fired from one for bitching about safety defects, got fired for poor performance by another one, and fired a third time because I engaged in a petty argument with an Express employee while waiting for my 18:00 pickup to open I ALMOST left the network all together but decided to took one last stab at it. I got taken on as a driver for an AO who described himself as "The best contractor in the region". Within a few months, I became one of the top drivers in our company and was making more money than I ever had before. I was promoted to BC in Jan 2021. Within weeks of being promoted, corporate pulled our contract. Within hours, I was inundated with job offers from contractors trying to get in on the territory that my AO had just lost. For the first time in my life, I was in a position to turn down job offers I felt were undesirable. I'm now a driver on a dedicated commercial route, fixed schedule, non-slipseated late model truck, making a minimum of $1200/wk with effectively limitless OT, flexible scheduling and benefits. In less than 2 years, I was named a Top 10 driver in our pool of 50 drivers across 3 states TLDR - Most of them suck, but if you are lucky enough to find a decent contractor, it is a lucrative job with excellent job security. And for any AOs reading this, if you pay your employees a decent wage, it compels them to care about their job and do the right thing. After working for several shit contractors, I can tell you there is a profound difference in attitude and demeanor when you are paid fairly

been driving for Fed Ex ground for a couple of months now. Got decent at the downtown route in my town. Really hard but doable. I have come to the conclusion that working for FedEx Ground is immoral if you desire for people who do this extremely hard job to be adequately compensated. FedEx Ground was created with the sole intention of undercutting UPS, a unionized with health benefits delivery company that expects results but treats their employees well. FedEx ground on the other hand pushes contractors to break the rules (of FedEx and sometimes the law) while working for a low daily rate that hourly can at times be similar to minimum wage.
