So your thinking about becoming an driver for FedEx ground or home delivery. Well first you need to know you will not be working for FedEx instead you will be working for a contractor. If your lucky you will have found on who pays by the hour but chances are you will only be getting payed a certain amount per a day. Most all contractors do not offer any benefits. be prepared to carry very heavy packages up to 150lbs. yes you will have some that weigh that much and most of the times they are to be delivered to an apartment on the third floor. you do not get a helper well most of us drivers dont. I know all of this because I have been a delivery driver for the last 2 years. you will get fined for a lot of things. you will most likely work around 11 hours a day nut some days of the year that can jump to around 15 plus hours a day with no overtime or extra pay. during the peak season you will work around 60 plus hours a week. this job is not for anyone that has any laziness in them at all. if you have a family you most likely wont see them much.
