- This is one of the driving exams you take to be a driver at fedex express.
This test is for non-Dot couriers.
The Dot couriers have to do this test in a bigger fed ex truck.
Before I worked here I always tried to look for a video showing the actual test for drivers and I could never find one , so I decided to record and upload it myself for others to see👍🏻
That’s the non DOT test it’s supposed to be the big truck I actually took it today
@@StrDrop-yp5ec you’re completely right, I just edited the title of the video lol👌🏼
Which one is accurate for the non dot the van or truck and which is easier the truck or the van
@@StrDrop-yp5ecdoes the pay chnage with the certification? or is it the same?
We are doing it for Kroger, but it's down and back twice. Did you guys learn Smith System?
Wow that looks way easier than amazons course. Ours were insanely close
That's because Amazon doesn't know what the hell they are doing.
amazon’s was easy asf, i take fedex tomorrow we’ll see what it’s looking like but im doing DoT
@@smeeezohey how was it if you can remember?
@@magnoliamystery1288 basically it was just in and out cones like a snake, reverse straight between cones, parallel park, then 3 point turn and back into a spot between two cones.
Never had to really do any test like this just went out on a simple driving test for like 30 mins with the contractor and thats all.
Express is different. They are more strict about stuff
I spent a whole day (9am to 6pm) learning how to drive a van and my instructor was not patient.
That's because it was FedEx GROUND (eww)
@@Boogs114 nahhh son we’re talking about Express
Thank you for this video. Just a heads up anyone considering going to Fedex Express just know that June of 2024 you guys will be merged with fedex ground and will be under a contractor no longer fedex as a company. This merger is suppose to help out with the inflation that the contractors are dealing with. Just wanted to give everyone that heads up thats looking into Fedex Express.
I juat got hired at express 😭
Bro me too @DankDiamond8022
Express will still be employed by FedEx.
That's false. I'm hired with fedex express for 2 months now and it's not under a contractor. I have all my 4 managers morning and night managers.
What state?
Take in mind, this is alot harder with a W700 if thats what you operate at fedex
They had the non DOT van under maintenance so I had to use a DOT truck for my training today. Gotta love Amazon. Was fun though! At least I’ll be over prepared for non DOTs
Serpentine test the most unrealistic scenario known to mankind… reversing in s shape is unnatural
you've never been in our parking lot!
I ran over cones going forward and non in reverse.
Did this yesterday in the 900. 🤙🏼
Are the cones always that spread out?? I’m taking my test Tuesday
usually
The guy that graded my driving test was super cool. He really wanted us to pass👍🏻
@@kullerbees323 same with me. It was me and another person and I aced everything but the other person was so nervous and was fucking up. Still got passed
That looked really easy, they're spaced so far it could be done with a step van.
Nah they're closer on Mondays.
I’m with ground and still struggling on this final exam 🙄 I keep scoring a 74 when to pass I need a 75🤦🏽♀️ I’m bout this close to just switching over to warehouse
Is this required for fedex ground also heard in other videos they use the breaking speed insurance things if you go wrong within it they deduct from your paycheck money and also no overtime is paid meaning if j don’t deliver within time frame u work for free
Do you have any more videos of FedEx road test?
Thanks for the video. Does anyone know if Fedex makes you do this your first day of training or do you go through in person orientation, defensive driving video's, etc before doing the practical dricing test stuff?
No u do abuncha Bs computer training and then after you finish you will be scheduled for either a ride along or Defensive driving but this is called defensive driving test so it takes a few days to get to it. Make sure you read your pre trip paper and 5 keys, so your not lost.
@shshshaa9114 Thanks. I'm terrified. If they make me parallel park the van, I'm toast. I can do the pylons back and forward, pretty well.
5 keys? Assuming u mean Smith ones (aim high, big picture etc?)
@luciouspontorro3741 on ur first day they will give u a 5 keys if defensive driving paper and tell u to study it, make sire you do that, it's pretty easy and yeah they make u parallel park but you'll get abuncha time to do it. It took me 5 times
@shshshaa9114 t
Really appreciate the help. I can do the parallel parking good with cones...but get terrified when it's between cars. I'm afraid I'm going to hit the front car when bringing my front end in. I'll practice more I guess
@luciouspontorro3741 lol your good it's with cones not vehichles. So your ok with that hahha, theirs also monitors too see your back side so you'll be good but yes it's with cones only.
I never did this either. Maybe it’s because it’s express and not ground.
Ground is not Fedex, so they really can’t regulate the contractors to do this.
@@tyler7549 really
Does FedEx express randomly drug test drivers
@@1smae100 I think they only randomly drug test DOT positions. I might be wrong though.
Everyone gets drug tested pre employment.
Hey i went to my interview like 5 days ago and after the interview they offered me a job and i accepted it does that mean am hire .. am also wating on drug screen and background
How long did it take to get on the actual road?
Is the pay any better driving the big Box trucks opposed to the Sprinters?
nop
I did mine in a 700
cause you're DOT
Is this the driving test? Easy work for me, I’ll do it in my sleep.
😂 in what world do u need this maneuver
I did mine in W700
Me too
Anybody whose DOT has to do it in a 700 or bigger
Same i was nervous even tho i drove same size at amazon ig the vibe between amazon and fedex waa different fedex is alot more strict
It's harder on a motorcycle. Lol
Dude put my cones way too close together. I killed three cones.
Did they fire u? Or do they help you improve?
Did they fire you or they give chance?
