r/Fedexers

I don't intentionally lurk this sub, but the algorithm keeps it in my feed.

I constantly see posts about poor pay, lack of benefits, poor working conditions, management, and ownership. There is no way a part-time package handler at UPS that gets fully paid benefits, should bring in more annually than a full-time FedEx driver. I know what you guys have to go through and it makes me sick knowing most are not treated or compensated fairly.

You guys need to stand together and unionize. Against FedEx, and its contractors. Sure, a lot of contractors are smart and make workers sign non unionizing agreements, but that still does not mean you can't put heat on them for change. But it will require solidarity across the board. The holiday season is soon. There is no better time to put pressure than now. Change can happen quickly if their hand is forced. Not for greed, but to just be paid fairly.

Stop selling your soul to these penny pinchers. Get your fair share and what you are worth.

Sincerely,
A proud teamster.

All I'm saying is, we work hard as fuck. We work long hours. Our bodies are broken. It's not a weird thing to want $30+ an hour, full bennies, and a pension is it? Am I the asshole here?

I was thinking the day after thanksgiving or the Monday after thanksgiving

I got my orientation tomorrow at Ground as a package handler. and I’ve heard from other people who’ve worked there that they don’t allow phones. I was wondering if any of the warehouses have metal detectors that enforce it. I’ve heard the same people they take their vape in so idk. I’m only working 3 hours a day 5 days a week so I’m not really worried about my phone until it gets really cold, but I def do wanna take my vape in lol.

I have orientation tomorrow at the 3000 Directors Row location. I previously worked for FedEx Ground and FedEx Express as a warehouse package handler in 2023–2024. I wanted to ask whether package handlers at this location are allowed to pick up additional shifts beyond their regularly scheduled hours when shifts are available. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Perhaps like many here, I’ve gotten zero information in the mail or at my station about the dates for choosing benefits for 2027 nor any detailed information about coverage choices. So I went to the online site and learned the dates are Oct. 13 through Oct. 30. Little more than one week away.

And, of course, FedEx no longer mails the very useful printed guide explaining each benefit option. So I downloaded that guide and will print it out when I go to work next week. Let them pay for the copy paper. This is the link:

What trucks do you normally drive as a ground driver? P1000 or P700? My isp never asked if I have a for hire endorsement on my license. Do you need one? The job posting didn't mention it either.

I swear every time I browse this sub it's all ground or freight, never any express stuff. Is there an alternative sub for people that do express or is everyone chronically offline in the plane dep. lmao

For context I’ve worked a similar job at Walmart loading and unloading wasn’t bad didn’t mind it my supposed shift is 3am to 10 am my boy said I’d be there longer till 1 pm but is it really that bad I have a chill maintenance job on the side I need shit paid soooo others is REALLY that bad I feel with the right mindset I’d be straight

I need money, and I'm thinking about getting a job as a driver at FedEx (I've done amazon driver before). Would you guys recommend it for at least just a few months based on your experience? let me know, thanks.
