- What up player! Thanks for stopping by today. In today's video, we go over a day in the life of a Swing Driver. Swing driver's basically run different routes every day. You have to have be able to run every route that your contractor has. It was a huge learning curve at first, but once I learned it all, being a swing driver wasn't so bad. I found that it's nice to not do the same thing every day. Anyways thanks for keeping me company today. If you have any questions or if there's anything else you'd like to see, please leave it in the comments below! Reading your comments keeps me inspired! :]
As always, if you enjoyed today's video, make sure to like and subscribe to the LunatiKz squad and follow me on this journey! It would really mean the world to me. Til the next time!!

I could literally just watch this guy just walk around and live his life and I would be OK with that. He so mellow
I was a ground driver for 10 years and thought it was ok but this peak was my first for express. Night and day! No crappy trucks, paid by the hour ($1000 paychecks during peak) and full benefits!
Hey man you’re back!
Ayyy i watch you also
@@Applejobsguy ayy
320 stop or packages you crazy
I used to work for fedex ground and It was ok but the paid suck so I ended up quitting and now Im a courrier at fedex express with better paid and full benefits here in california
Ayy Laos fam in da house!
You inspired me man. Applied for fedex express couple months ago got hired in September and survived peak, and now I just got Full time swing. Keep up the videos man!
Home delivery driver here in Indianapolis, my numbers were pushing 350 stops every day for a few weeks. Couldnt imagine being a swing driver during that. Props to you man
Still driving the same raggedy ass trucks man... I love it! Using stuff to its fullest potential. Great video. I work in the same business and these videos really inspire me and make me motivated to work.
Dude my contractor gives us iPads and it shows us every single stop with GPS idk how y’all do it crazy maddd respect 🙌🏼
I’m a retired fedex express swing driver, the difference between fedex ground and express is we would be fired for driving with the driver door open and the bulk head door open while driving..got tired of picking up the ground drivers missed pickups every day
Bro. Please look in to 18 wheeler deliveries. Big money. You've mastered this so I know you can do it
Thank god for the apartments that have lockers now.
I’m not a delivery driver but I work at one of the hubs and this peak season hasn’t been all too bad for us.
My peak season highest stop was 206. We have IPAD that has the vision labels on there and we have GPS as well.
My dad is a contractor for ups in Ireland 🇮🇪 so I can relate and I definitely agree home deliveries are the best deliveries 🚚 😂😂
Just finished peak season with UPS as a seasonal driver helper in Idaho 2 weeks ago. It was crazy busy since we had a ton of stops average of around 300-400 stops
a day. Me and the driver kicked some serious butt this season especially as him and I were newbies😎
Beast mode!!!
At my Fedex terminal they call a driver who helps other routes a ”Floater”. Awesome to watch American Fedex drivers!
You have inspired me to become a fedex truck driver. Just have to wait 8 years lol I’m only 13 😂
😂😂😂 you got this bud!
Same bruh
Lol Good vibes, good vibes.
Our contractor uses swing drivers too and man u guys are life savers during peak season when we get slapped with 300+ stops everyday
My normal route is about the same. Due to peak I was doing a second sort route. It only averaged 170, but I didn't get to my first stop until 11AM some days. Thankfully that's over with. Keep up the hard work my friend.
I work for UPS. This was my first peak season. It was tough at first but I got it down pack. Hope I get the full time position soon. I really enjoy the job
Good luck man. I hope you get it too 🤞
377 stops is a lot of stress on your legs & ankles, day in & day out. Make sure to buy a good pair of running shoes & add a pair of heel gel inserts. You should also consider ankle & calf support braces. Just try protect your body longterm.
Thanks for the tips! I can definitely feel the wear and tear coming on lol
Im a package handler at a fed ex! And every driver I load for are really nice, i've been interested in moving into driving recently. I've been a bit nervous about the prospect but your videos give me confidence.
You should give it a shot :]
AYYYEEE!! im glad your back bro. lol i ran into you that at an apartment complex i worked for HD Supply but i had a little van. idk if you remember but i said you should upload more and you were like "uhh idk ill think about it" lol i guess you been planning on coming back for a little bit huh?
You inspired me to get back to it my dude 😜
@@LunatiKz that’s wassup bro glad I could help 😆
ayeee been wondering when Id see another video pop up in my notifications
Glad to see you back doing these! I got a job with Fedex Office doing Same Day City delivery and peak was weird. Some of our drivers worked like 10-12 hour days and some of us worked standard 8 hour days, maybe 9 tops. Our stuff is way different since we do a lot of distance driving versus a set route.
FedEx Office driver? You’re in a really lucky spot
@@brnbrnzhairline yea man, I dig it
Happy Holidays brotha, love the videos, idk why but enjoy tf outta them. Keep it up the work mane.
In my country everyone is poor due to corona so this christmas is not as bad as previous lol 150 stops max. Merry christmas brother!
277 stops your area must be hella tight. 140 takes me all day
Yeah, every route is different lol
I wish they had that route in the bay area
@@alanchen1838 I work for fedex ground in the bay area too! my terminal is in Fairfield and my route is in Novado. I typically make it to my first stop by 11AM. 140 takes me all day to complete too (4-5PM)! cant imagine getting 300+ lol
im a bit late but glad to see youre back man. these vids always make me consider working for fedex
It’s not a bad gig 🤔
377 stops...residential or not your a beast. I’m working contingency out of state and the route is so wide.
What’s contingency?
Ayyy that looks like the ground off 482, congrats and we appreciate the hard work!
We did the same here in Nebraska as far as splitting routes and it helps a lot. Most stops i had this year was 201!!
I'm about to take the test tomorrow. I hope I pass. Thank you!
Merry Christmas bro, shoutout to all you drivers coming through for the holidays !! Enjoyed watching this
- The Richest 🔥🥃
Merry Christmas & happy holidays! ✌️🎄🥂
Great video. I enjoy watching your day from the morning till the end of shift.
Doing deliveries on late December are probably the hardest you can encounter
Merry Christmas my homie! Greetings from Germany!
Love the vids btw...nice and chill, which is totally contrary typically to this type of work!
I just got hired today as a fedex express swing driver!
Just got offered a FT swing driver position at Express! Just gotta wait for my manager to figure out who my replacement will be and then it’s on to the next part of my fedex journey.
Love the videos but just a question for you or anyone else who works for fedex: What shoes do ya’ll use for peak?
Whats up man? I hope your doing good man! I love your channel, my older brother and sister work for fedex aswell 😂, just seeing this video gives me an idea why my older siblings come back home TIRED! 🤣
Little dog goes spinning
A new Video! Welcome back & happy holidays duude! 🙌
Hi man, I also work at FedEx in Brazil, congratulations on the channel
I’m a FedEx driver and I’m loving the vids man super motivational
Nice video, I’m a amazon delivery driver in New York, just applied to fedex and man seeing all those heavy boxes might have to just stay In amazon.. lol 😂
Good to see you back man. Post up more vids when you can.
Thanks haha, I’ll try 😅
Hey ur knocking on doors. New man
Once you get a new truck or that thing gets its tracking readjusted you'll drive dead straight into the left side ditch 🤣
Welcome back
Do you get paid more as a swing driver as opposed to regular drivers? Also, do MOST contractors pay more during peak season?
So happy to see this. I love these videos😎😎
I'm a ups driver, and my average days were 220 to 230 stops everyday. Didn't ever hit 300 on my route. Usually all the fed ex drivers I see on my route have like 150 stops average some being in the 200s but non in 300s.
Haha, it’s different for everyone from what I’ve heard
im so jealous you get to drive a stick. i wish i did.
You ever thought of working for UPS? Better pay
Cool your microwave does not make any beeping sound when you press a button. What kind of brand is that microwave. In the future i really like to buy one myself.
Glad you're back, fam!
that job looks hella fun
AYO Welcome Back Bro! Happy Holidays!
Lol I had 270ish stops all thru peak.. I did get a helper tho. .
Aayyy Happy Holidays, welcome back 🤙
Im glad its ALL over! LOL..How do you keep your Leo's charged? They put chargers in our trucks
We just have cigarette lighter charger haha
Love these videos!
The alignment of that steering wheel is bothering the f out of me.
Why is it so normal in the USA to drop every package at the door, knock/ring and just leave? I'm a delivery driver myself in the Netherlands and to do that here, it's an absolute no go and you will be fired in no time.
Welcome back!
278 stops in Minneapolis, MN during peak. Now doing 50 on average
That’s a huge jump lol
Omg he needs to come back. It’s been forever it feels like
glad your back bro
300 stops? Holy crap!
Bro just started did my training anf my first day it took me 10 hours to deliver 140 packages. 117 stops. Any tips?
Just keep at it my dude. Speed will come over time as you learn your route. You got this! Don’t give up!
Beeen waiting for ages for a new vid and you didn’t let me down😎😎
Im a swing driver too but at fedex express and yeah it really sucks during peak but the paid here compared to ground it's a lot better
Hey man how do you like the job? I'm looking at a swing position with Express right now Monday thru Saturday. I'd be my 1st courier job too. Is it manageable or would I be over my head??
Keep up the good work bro!
Any updates on your STI?
You are an inspiration man... lets make that bread!
Whats your schedule like? What days do you work and how many hours in a day? How many days off? Thanks bro!
well done u r doing great....but I gotta ask that, can u just save something after ur expenses are done with FedEx's salary?
lets go
hope you get a big job
Merry Christmas from Massachusetts USA
holy shit u got a manual truck that blows. i work for ups and we have zero left in my whole state all automatic now
lol, the manual trucks are fun!
Amazing vid man plz do more thanks 😂😂
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Why do you have to learn the route? Does your device not give you directions to each stop like Amazon rabbits do?
I just got home a bit ago from my route really wasn't bad only had like 52 stops.
I had 220 today lol
My mom would of had a fit if I made that much noise in the morning leaving out
T shirt on in December? No snow on the ground? I need to move to Texas
Haha, winter is usually 40-50 degrees for us, with a few days in the 30s every now and then. This job always keeps you warm though because you’re always moving.
Amazon call them sweepers
I've been a package handler and QA for most of my 2.5+ years working FedEx Ground. That peak season is no joke. I remember one of our PH managers say, "We're not coming in a midnight" half a dozen times in a single meeting with the sort manager.
We give drivers a hell of a lot of flak, and they give us a hell of a lot of work. Still, the cogs must turn.
Anyway, just thought I'd drop a few "alternate" definitions of what it means to work at FedEx Ground.
Fragile - Ooops, I hope I didn't break it.
Tape dispenser - Customer satisfaction.
Hazardous Material - Did they seriously just throw that in the compacter?!
Strapped packages - They snag on everything.
Loose straps - Package Handler Killers.
Wal-Mart - Damaged package.
Tomato sauce - Wet, stinky, and damaged package.
Duct Tape - Objectively bad for shipping. (Please, use it for wallets, purses, and boat. Don't ship with it.)
Trampoline - Hell delivered in three boxes. (I've actually seen about five trampolines that hadn't broken open in the time I've worked at FedEx Ground.)
SouthShore - My nemesis.
As a Package Handler, I took pride in what I did. I talked with the drivers and did the best to try to learn their routes. I had one package car where the plan kept messing up. Everything in the car was assigned to a single shelf. Learning the route really helps in situations like that. I've even had times when I saw the ETP on a stop, and just stacked those boxes out because there's no way they're fitting in that car. I've had drivers come up to me and thank me for those.
As QA, there's a love/hate relationship between you and drivers. They run into a problem, and they just don't want it on their car. You get the package, and you just can't find the address, or it's a huge box you don't have the equipment to repair.
Every once in a while, you get the box with two pages of FTrack entries, and you just have to wonder what on earth is going on. I've seen one that came to me completely destroyed. I just assumed the driver was tired of seeing it and just drove over it so he could drop it off at damages. (It was a blender.) It was in bad shape. The Ftrack showed that it had been processed for return to shipper at least three times. (One of which I had done a week earlier. Oops.)
The stuff FedEx drivers get put through is amazing, though. Actually, I've worked as a driver helper and a package handler for a year at UPS. They get better pay and a union, but the crap they have to deal with is also pretty amazing. They enforce the 70lbs+, get help with it rule much more than FedEx does. Unless you're a driver. Here, take this dolly. Good luck!
I've had multiple irons in the fire the whole time I've been working at FedEx. It's about to pay off with a career change. I'm glad to move to what I've been wanting to do for my whole life, but I'll miss FedEx Ground at least a little.
lets go baby
