Absolutely nice video man I love the sound of your Volvo truck will you please see if you can do a really long ASMR video of you driving the truck and include engine start up cause that’s my favorite part. Stay safe man and have a great one.
I usually never leave comments on videos, but I appreciate you posting a video about your work day. I'm a fellow Fedex Freight P&D Driver working out of the San Antonio District in Texas and I have always wondered what it was like working in much bigger cities compared to where I work. Really interesting video, keep up the great work, and please keep making more videos!
@@zachz699 you'd be surprised how many people actually prefer nights, our center only has four day linehaul runs which have the most mileage. They're all senior guys getting ready to retire next couple years, majority of all the night guys have told me they wouldn't take them because they like nights so much. I'm second from the bottom I don't mind nights but I'd take a day run in a heartbeat.
@@BurstingBushidox I know alot of people dont mind nights and some people prefer it. For the sake of driving I understand night guys for sure, you gotta have some rage control trying to make a tight delivery window almost across town at 4:45 PM when they close at 5:00 when everyone is getting off work LOL.
@@zachz699 I have mad respect for all our city guys. We serve Panama City beach in Florida, and in spring break we've had guys bring back almost full routes.
Casually watching your video and then realizing that I live in this area, I’ll be sure to look out next time I see fedex freight rolling down the road!
I delivered in the City on and off for about 6 years before going to the Road. I miss some of my customers for sure, they made life a lot easier. Be safe out there driver.
its crazy how different tanker trucking is to freight trucking. my dad used to be a tanker and i used to go with him sometimes and its always surprising how different it is.
Dude, backing up a pup trailer with a tandem Volvo like that is a pain in the ass. You must use that quite often because I didn't see it jerk once. Then again the single axle tractors are a little more forgiving with the transmission lurch. Great video!
Hey bro I worked in the office majority of my life but since I was laid off in 2021 due to Covid I decided to get my CDL at 38 years of age. So far I worked at 3 trucking company’s 7 months experience. (1.Dollar General OTR) (US Foods local) and now JB Hunt OTR regional. So far it’s not working out for me I was recently put on a 3 month Probation because the door on my trailer wasn’t secure when I was backing in and when I backed into a dock my door pushed it in. It technically wasn’t my fault because the trailers here are in bad shape. Just the idea of being put on probation makes me want to look for something else or give up on CDL all together. I have been looking around FedEx seems like a cool job.
So sorry to hear that that happened to you. Put in an application, come on over, I believe due to your experience level you will still have to go through the driver development course however the plus side is you’ll be home ever night and getting paid very decent while training. I think FedEx is a good place to work, if you are seriously intending to leave I don’t think you’d be disappointed. Good luck with everything, safe travels.
I’ve been doing parcel delivery for Amazon for a little over two years now. Interviewed for the city driver apprentice program a couple weeks ago and it seemed to go well but then they ghosted me so maybe not? I’ll probably get my cdl at the end of summer one way or another. Would love to do a driving job like this with lots of maneuvering and having a chance to get outside and be active.
My brother I really love your videos, it makes us feel like we riding with you. I've been studying the 26 foot box truck industry for almost six months and was really considering that as my next move. Watching details like this makes me think seriously about getting my CDL Class A. I'm curious what's your typical start and end times each day? Thanks again.
I wish our yard had as many trucks as yours did. I think there was one point where we had so many deadlined trucks there was almost not enough for every city driver.
My brother I love the videos please keep them coming. It’s making me miss my time at FedEx Frieght in Elizabeth NJ 2017-2019 I may go back part time idk lol be safe out there‼️💪🏿
*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
Worked for FedEx Freight for 21 years in Beaumont TX . P&D left in 2017 due to health problems. Brings back memories, where are you located, wherever it is to cold for me. Lol. Stay safe .

Holy Crap; I happened upon this video, so I was watching it during some downtime. I know exactly where you are in part of this video. I used to shop at that Adams Fairacre Farms (28:25), belonged to the local volunteer fire department for multiple years, shopped at other stores also shown, etc when I lived in that state, lol. One word of caution though, I probably wouldn't show BOLs which have the customer information, what they are shipping, etc on it. While I don't know the legalities, some customers could potentially get upset, and complain if they don't like it.
Every center has different start times and each route is different. Overtime isn’t guaranteed but when it’s busy I was getting 2-4 hrs depending on the day
I’ve been thinking a lot about becoming a semi driver I work for FedEx express right now as a swing courier but something about driving the big trucks Intrigues me
How do you get this type of route and what is it called. Reason being i know they had a route pull one 45 foot to the mens warehouse then haul nothing but doubles im interested in running this type of route seems easy but cool at the same time no offense if you know what I mean but seriously whats the name and whats it called could you elaborate more ont this topic here.
Hopefully this answers your question. It’s a city route or P and D. In it you can do volume loads which is take a full or and empty trailer to a shipper or receiver drop and hook or live load or unload and then take it back to the yard. Or you can get a trailer filled with different stops and execute them and then do pickups afterwards or at the same time depending on the timeframe and location.
@@theblackstallion4912 nope. I fill in on the road when they need help but not going permanently. I am #2 city driver out of 26 . GVN is a small center
I am interested in the City Driver P&D apprentice program in Elizabeth, NJ. Are you at that facility if you don't mind my asking and if you do work there, how do you like it? Thank you in advance.
If you are interested I would say go for it. I enjoyed my time in the program, and I am not from that area. Good luck with whatever you decide, stay safe.
@@theblackstallion4912 Thank you! I was looking at ABF Freight, Sysco, and ODFL. But someone told me that FedEx Freight City Driver was more flexible with personal time. I don't want to waste my time with a bad career. I just want a good career and like you, I changed careers. I was formerly a teacher. I can still go back to teaching but teaching is no longer a fulfilling position. So I decided to take the plunge and get my CDL A. I have that and all I need to do is get my endorsements. As for the other companies I mentioned. Some claim to offer bells and whistles, but all I read here and elsewhere, are complaints. However, I don't see too many complaints coming from FedEx drivers. Most of the time, they are extremely happy and the driving skills FedEx offers carry over to linehaul and of course, FedEx Ground. Lastly, I see that North Arlington, NJ has a City Driver Apprentice program as well. I'll look into that too. I think the area is nice as compared to Elizabeth, NJ. I'll just have to see where I can get a job. Thank you again, thank you for your service, and stay safe!
@@johnb.399 once you get in transfers are available you’ll just lose seniority. Either way so far it is fulfilling to me, and can be lucrative as well. Sorry to hear that the passion for teaching dwindled we need good educators around. I’d like to hear on your progress keep me advised and your thoughts on the program if and once you get in. Good luck! 🍀
I work at the North Arlington FedEx. The Elizabeth one is merging with us in a couple months. We don’t have a city operation here but that will change once we merge. We will cover NYC! Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and west Chester I think too. Our city operation is basically just picking up containers from the rail yard! Pretty easy money but that will change soon! No complaints thou.
Quick question for you, were you a CDL driver when you started with FedEx freight or did you start with FedEx freight without a CDL, I've heard FedEx will train you and get you your CDL if you work for them. What is the pay like?
I had my class b before FedEx. I took the test for the A permit and FedEx trained me with a 1 year contract. The pay is different from center to center and it’s based on cost of living or cost of labor. City drivers are paid hourly and road are paid per mile. In my area base pay for city is around the $70,000/yr range higher with o/t. Hope this info helps.
Great question. No it’s not. You can either buy a truck gos unit or get an app for your phone. I know the area pretty well so I just go off memory. Every now and then I use a gpa for stops I’ve never been to or getting to it from a different location
@@JWilliams-sn3qe I know a guy that only has a six month card, he’s a senior guy though. I’m sure if you talk to them through your the hiring process and explain yourself they should be able to work with you. Hope this helps, good luck!🍀
Hey man I just realized you’re out of the newburgh terminal. Are you guys hiring? I have my class A with hazmat tanker and doubles. And is there a requirement on experience?
nice pretrip, more than I usually see drivers do, your local GSE mech. but, OTR drivers are better at pre and post trip inspections. I used to be at PUD before I came to the airport. fellow Fedex here.
first 5 years at freight spent half the year filling in for road drivers on vacation, etc. they treat city drivers like shit, your seniority means nothing. quit after 15 years never miss the b.s.
I was a local LTL driver for p Jax vitran for almost 30 years and I'll tell you one thing I can barely walk on my left leg anymore my knee is so messed up from shifting so much that's the bad thing about being a local driver you need to think about the future
They do!!! Apply for Driver apprentice either city or road driver, get your class a cdl permit, air break, doubles triples, and tanker endorsement as well as hazmat (check your local dmv for help with those) and once hired just learn as much as you can. Good luck. 🍀

I would love a job like this. I wish FedEx paid for training.
They do!!! Apply for Driver apprentice either city or road driver, get your class a cdl permit, air break, doubles triples, and tanker endorsement as well as hazmat (check your local dmv for help with those) and once hired just learn as much as you can. Good luck. 🍀
@@theblackstallion4912 thank you so much!

TYPICAL DAY FOR FEDEX DRIVER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS DRIVE PAST THE HOUSE, DON'T STOP, MARK THE PACKAGE DELIVERED, AND SELL IT ON EBAY. AND TRY TO BLAME THE POST OFFICE FOR LOSING IT. F'ING THIEVES.
Not FedEx freight thou. We make enough money to keep our hands off the packages. That’s the ground ppl!! Lmaoo
Postal workers in a nutshell. Doesn't matter if they wear brown, purple or blue, they're all the same scum.
@@COD0790 lmaoo trying to make a distinction between the two 🤦 "well like like, this guy wears a purple shirt, and this guy's is orange" 🤣😂🤣😂 no one cares dude, you still work for FedEx bahahaha
That awkward moment when the algorithm is completely brain dead. Why tf would I have any interest in watching the Dbags who work for crappy shipping companies? So I can witness firsthand how little they do their jobs? At least back in the day they paid me to do that. LOL nah man, I'm good

How long does it take to become a line haul driver?
Depends on the center you’re out of. Some centers like mine it’s very competitive when positions become available.
Hope you fuel up tractor after run our city guys never do 👎
When I have my own tractor it depends on the fuel level. When I’m slip seating after every shift religiously.
Good morning, dude
Good morning....afternoon now lol!
