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!

No reason anyone should give this a thumbs down. She put a Lot of information in this.

Guys the hours changes depend on volume and what time trailers come in.

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..

Thanks for the video! You answered a lot of my concerns about being a package handler

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

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

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

You did great Cheyenne! Very informative and well narrated!

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

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.

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 ?

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

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?

Amazon's ok to work at depending on the facility easiest facility is a crossdock

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!!!!

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.

Not all heroes wear capes. This was the perfect video. No other video explains this much. Thank you!!!!!

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

How do we set up our direct deposit? Do we have to go to hr?

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.

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.

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?

Federal Express ...you have more options...like Flight Side, RTD Driver, Ramp Agent and Mail Room.. Less physical.

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!

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

You have excellent communication skill, good luck in future endeavors

Now they're getting $15 an hour in some states flipping hamburgers, meanwhile these people are busting their butts...go figure!

I start Monday in Twinsburg Ohio-I think it's the 3 am to 7am shift ? Is it loading?

Which location do you work at. I start Monday November 9th. At the Richfield Ohio location on Columbia Rd

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?

I work home delivery at grounds and the boxes are heavy, small light etc, I work for contractor pay is bullshit

I just got hired as a part time handler if I'm put as a loader can I request to be a unloader

Hey , how are the employee flight benefits? What is the discount like? What airlines can you get discount with?

Is it true you have to work everyday and you don't have a set schedule like other jobs???

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?

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 :)

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.

FedEx Ground is a great place....................For me to poop on!

Try to contact them, you can’t.

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.

Who else starts work tomorrow?

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.

Wish I could like this 10 more times! Thanks a lot!

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...

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.

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

Anybody knows how it is when you have to use the restrooms? Just go or do you have to ask or is there a certain restroom breaks

Most comprehensive video about FedEx Ground package handler job’s ins and outs

I can't believe your start time varies that much day to day......what if you have kids and need a set schedule?

I work day shift in Oregon largest FedEx hub, I hate it but they abuse me cause I'm the fastest loader on my dock. It sucks

Can you choose what you want to do?

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

Thanx for this info.

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.

Cheyenne how about big boxes like bikes?I mean do they get special handling or manually placed somewhere?

Package handlers need to be paid more, management needs to be trained to stop being a holes..FedEx is known for not paying

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

Are you Twinsberg, Toledo or Columbus?

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 🤷

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 !

It's hard thanks for the information

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 :)

Someone add timestamos I can’t watch this whole video

Any information on FedEx express???

2023 I just got hired for package handler at FedEx pay rate is $17.50

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?

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

You still with FedEx?

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.

Are you still working at FedEx?

I started here at Fedex today. Thanks for this was very Interesting. Good Video.

Can you start work as a package handeler at 16

I worked at FedEx for months and they over work you sometimes you don’t get help lifting heavy boxes.

Cheyenne, thank you for this video. Very useful information! I start at FedEx next week. 🙀

Can you do a video on working at fedex retail store if you have any insight please

Hi! I'm about to start at a main hub in Ohio as well, I'm not exactly sure what to wear?

Do you still work there?

How to apply online for driver

No way you are "just" a package handler--Package handlers are the lifeblood of the operation. This coming from a SRM.

I currently work at Fedex, and I THINK I work that "pre-sort" shift you don't/didn't know of....

I been there 3 weeks as a loader working 2 shifts.... gosh I'm so ready to quit 😩

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.

Benefits are the best mainly why people mostly stay, morning sort is what i do at a main hub unload is the best but ic packages will piss u off

5 YEARS WORKING FOR FEDEX GROUND AS HELPER IN DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN TOO MANY BUILDINGS TO DELIVERY ITS CRAZY BUT I LIKE MY JOB.

They don’t tell u bout the chewy boxes

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

Im pretty shure that shift that is a hr is were the delivery trucks get loaded
