Regardless, the Fedex job will get me in better shape for Flatbed.

OOPs:: I meant to say "Does not offer benefits"


Yes you will get in shape

Throwing parcels for Brown or FedEx is not so much a job as a health gym that pays you to work out.

Does FedEx give you bennies?

:lol:

That's exactly how I am looking at it. I will get paid 11 bucks an hour to work out 5 times a week.

I'll find out about any bennies after my orientation which starts here in about an hour and a half.

Especially if I can get on full time in a few months I will be in great shape if I decide to go flatbed here in six months or so!

Bennies after 1000 hours worked. Part time that would take about a year, personally I plan on earning full time asap, hopefully within a few months. Tuition reimbursement, which hopefully will include cdl training...I'll find out for sure when I can access the employee website in a few weeks.

Toured the facility, everyone who works there is pretty much ripped, I guess I will be saying 'thanks' to fedex for the paid workout.

some contractors offer benefits, some do not, just depends.

I would be okay with no bennies as long as my wife is still working for corporate America.

If you don't own your rig, how does it work to sub contract a rig? Does that still pay pretty well?

This morning was my first day on the job as a box thrower. Between watching training videos I was pretty much observing the activity of the trucks on the dock.

:shock:

I was quite surprised to see several CR England trucks rolling into the docks at fed-ex...

:?

Do they contract with Fed-ex, or what gives there? I have heard so many horror stories about CRE I was a bit disappointed to see them my first day at work. :wink:
