I drove the Chevy cutaways with my old contractor at Fedex Ground. New contractor has me in the P1 and I couldn't be happier. Sitting high up, can see way more, and the turning radius is shockingly good. Never drove anything smaller like the Promaster or the Sprinter/Transit. I like the videos!

When I was working for Amazon back in 2019 to 2021 I actually like driving the White RAM’s way more than the shitty Amazon Vans. I always felt more quicker driving them and finishing my routes quick their transmission is just quicker and more responsive. Luckily the company I was in didn’t have Mentor yet. It was fun while it lasted on my last years.

I drive the Transit van as a shuttle for FedEx Express a lot. Sometimes I pitch in on some small town deliveries at the end of the shuttle route. I totally agree that there isn't enough room to get between the seats and through the bulkhead and the interior lights suck. I take it long distance so the driver assist features really come in handy. It can maintain it's speed really well and does great in the mountains. That manual shift option really saves the brakes. Your videos rock, keep up the good work.

Thanks, Charles. What exactly is a Transit van shuttle for FedEx Express? I always see it job listings for it
@luckychucky505 Жыл бұрын
@@LaosHouse in my case it means taking loads of freight to outlying little stations in the Ford transit van. My stations second from end of the line, so we typically do early sort from a semi first thing in the morning and then go to the ramp and unload a couple Cessna's for a late morning sort. Was sort fills a shuttle that goes out and supplies the small town drivers. Usually I end up taking a few deliveries out to help before turning around and heading backs home. My full time position is ramp agent/courier though. I'm helping out with the shuttle through peak and then I go back to a full time route and heading to the ramp twice a day.

I hope your first peak went well for you. Apart of me wishes I just left fedex to go back to Amazon just because of the overtime, bonuses, the food trucks they have. Not to mention all the accrued time off I would have gotten. It was a wasted opportunity I’m kinda kicking myself in the head over that. It was not what I expected, It made so much more money at Amazon last year and I wasn’t forced to work 6 days… I just did it.. because they paid more for it. Maybe I’ll head back before prime week.

I think it mostly has to do with not being able to get enough branded vans painted and outfitted with shelves in time for the amount of drivers some DSP need, so they rent extra vans. At my dps we have maybe 10-15 rentals and then like 40 branded vans. Also most actually prefer the rentals due to the fact they have no cameras.

Hey I heard from one of the drivers in my area that instead of putting your van in drive like you normally would , you put it in manual mode (M gear). Apparently doing so would bypass the hard acceleration detection in the van. The idea is to "trick" it into thinking you weren't stepping to hard on the gas when in reality you were. Thats how he claims he gets a perfect 1000 netradyne and 850 FICO score How true or untrue is that? I wouldn't think of doing something so thought out and elaborate as that, maybe that driver is to full of himself who really knows 🤷♂️
