The Truth About Having to Drive Manual For FedEx
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- What up player! Thanks for tuning in! Today we dive into the question that's been on everyones mind: Are all Fedex trucks manual?? The truth is just like manuals are becoming more rare in the real world, they’re also becoming more rare in the delivery game as well. There’s a short chance to none that you would find a FedEx contractor that has manual trucks. Most these days are automatic. If you do happen to end up with a contractor that has manual trucks, they should teach you as long as you’re willing to learn.

What a great attitude. I want that attitude.
Facts bro
I love your positive attitude about this job. I know it's not easy. Keeping your composure throughout the day, having to deal with all kind of people, traffic, large heavy packages makes you a hero. Greetings from FedEx Canada. Keep it up!!!
Those new scanners are a life saver man
Dang it so weird to see your trucks running while making a stop 😂 at UPS we have to shut ours off and close the bulkhead door every time we make a stop.
Seeing those 200+ stops made me feeling overwhelmed, but knowing that is all residential makes me relieved! Could only imagine having to do residentials and businesses on that route! My route has both and the most I do is 170 and that's always on a Monday.
I wish it was like this in the UK, pretty much every parcel requires a signature and its rare to leave them safe so it takes so much longer per stop waiting for people to answer or trying neighbors because they're not home
Mitch Edwards reduces theft.
My old route with amazon was only houses..
Kinda miss it :(
About to make the switch from amazon to fedex. Are you happy you did?
Gabriel Okeke nah he STOOPID
As a delivery driver for Coca Cola. I get what you mean about slowly emptying the truck and how satisfying it is. We also have to park in the middle lane of big street often, only we have to use pallet jacks as well to move our product so you can only move as fast as that jack moves lol
Yeah that’s crazy bro I wanted to get something local after seeing that I’ll stay OTR lol
5:22
As a Texan as well, I can confirm that yes, it can be 54 degrees one hour then the next hour it’s all the way up to 81. Lol it’s Texas baby
Lol try living in vegas where, during monsoon season, it can go from calm 118 to tropical hurricane rainstorm 85 degrees and then back up to a, now humid as all hell, 112 lol vegas baby
Do a story time on how you got into driving for FedEx!
He applied..
Navi Rodrigo shut up
@@navirodrigo4055 right 💀
I applied on indeed. Indeed told me my application has been reviewed. They called me 2days later. At 7:30pm.. he asked me bout my experience of driving I told him. N he send me a email application n I filled it out. Now waiting for background check and all that stuff to come back. Btw this is on a Saturday they called me and said hopefully Monday or sometimes this week he will get back to me 🙏 hope I get it. Baby needs shoes! 🙏 also I’m located in Las Cruces New Mexico
@@bradleyjohnson2273 indeed is not trustworthy. probably stole your information. it's best to apply on their main website.
You are the easily the best UA-cam fed driver. You are smart and have a great attitude. I also love how you don’t just out the packages right in the open.
I do this job in the UK for DPD. I love the job but it's annoying that 99% of our packages require a signature now (a lot get returned)
It’s really nice to see how things are in the other side of delivery. Thank you !
I love how the speedometer stays at ZERO! lol
FIRST ! Aha man I love your vids. I seriously am considering driving for UPS (bc I know someone who can get me on tight there) so your vids are cool. Also I love your Honda accord! I didnt know those came in stick
If want music in your FedEx truck with broken radio just the a mp3 or portable cd player with portable speakers & you have it man! To pass time this is a great thing! You will thank me for it!
My other truck i retired is a Peterbilt 379 twin stick 18 speed she was a blast to drive too with a cat 3406B the only truck that whistled when she drove i am going to make a motor home out of her but i do love my cab over easier to maneuver backing up to the dock and you do not have to have that much room either
I’ve been waiting on a video lmaoo
I would have been overwhelmed seeing that many packages. I'm so not cut out for that job.
AllAmericanGuy01 you get use to it
I wish I was this structured at 6am lol
On my kiddsss
Great job on the videos lately, and for delivering packages you make our lives easier
Man, I am jealous of your weather. I have had to keep my doors closed all day when driving because its raining here and 50 degrees.
Keep up the good work man!
Bro. You Are a Beast. I worked for Fedex ground. And those 200 + stops is insane. I bet that route is gonna need to be split. ASAP. or before peak season bro. I like watching your videos Bro. Keep it up. And don’t hurt yourself
Mannnnnnnnnn this was easy compared to when I delivered during the whole hurricane Harvey ordeal, I’m still doing deliveries for Fed-Ex till this day and still going strong 💪
Rene Prado how long have you been doing it for and what was your weekly starting pay?
Keep posting bro you channel will sky rocket
Man I always get awkward feelings when I watch these delivery videos in the USA because I work a lot less stops daily. At least I have the excuse that all my packages are signature required so can't leave them on the front door with consent from consignee.
I really love your videos Lunatikz. You have a nice flow, good music and it doesn't get boring. Did you have to ask permission first to film your job or that was no problem?
The city is beautiful, what part of texas is? love the vids bro
I think it's Houston.
Thanks for the video, I got a call back for an Express Courier position, but I don't know how to drive manual. If I have to learn manual I will, because this seems like a perfect job for a college student.
Thank for bringing us along I am sure that its a little quicker jumping out now that your in a automatic. Stay safe
Old scanners were a living hell man specially doing a box truck with 700+ packages everyday.
I’ve been waiting for something from fedex and been watching your videos mad interesting for some reason keep it up.. you made the job look fun well as fun as a job could get..lol
Dope man. I work for UPS I usually have 160-180 stops package count is really sporadic though
The fedex guy is back baby!
Love the vids man keep up the great work hustling
At least in a manual you can remember the gear you are in but hey it gets better just be patient take your time for your own safety be safe out there bro
That's how packed my amazon van gets, no pickups on that route?
How many totes do you usually have, my route usually has 20-22
xxxtentoesdown damm yall working! My regular totes were 12-16
Carlos Vazquez 💪🏽💪🏽.. what station you working from?
xxxtentoesdown i was working at rosemead,ca amazon station for scoobeez but i left. Im now a fedex Express employee and i get paid more but im not a driver at the moment
@@carlos019921 lol i work for the Rosemead warehouse pay kinda sucks compared to other delivery job i deliver in North Hollywood and Burbank
Jesus, 240 stops and done by 4:30?? How do you do it man?
I miss the powerpads, the leos quick but i have big hands and selecting stuff can suck at times. Im with express and the most i have on a normal day is like 140 stops. Those ground contractors keep you guys busy lol
bruh 228 by 4:30? beast..you should do a video where you challenge yourself to see how many stops you do in a hour thru out the day! I average about 34 rn but ive seen people hit insane numbers. good vid!
You'll get used to busy streets 😅. I work in harlem as a fedex driver. Traffic all day
Finally the king is back
The Sti sounds nice idling bro. I actually have a 2015 wrx with the stage 2 tune on it. Its a different motor in it so it doesn't have the same rumble like yours but I still love my wrx
Uff thanks man. I'll be waiting this videos! Regrets from Mexico!! Just one question. Your packages from FedEx. Someone delivery to your house or u pick them from the warehouse??
Driving manual is easy once you get used to it you can float the gears just remember to monitor the rpms my kw k100 is a 18 speed she is fun to drive cross country except ca wa or
That route must be crazy during Peak if it already does that many stops lol
I was wondering when you were gonna upload a video..👍
How did you navigate through this route if it was your first time? Just curious
That device he was using has gps integrated in it
That’s crazy to think they give over 200 stops .. I worked for an Amazon contractor and the max stops I ever got was 196
Why was this in my recommendations? Still Drop a like tho. 😉
We got those same scanners at FedEx express and ours don't talk lol
The annoyance when you hit garage instead of front door and it breaks your flow :(
Bruuuuuh 😩😩
What up bro!! Its been a min since your last vlog. Good to see you vloggin again. Hello from a fellow fedex express employee
im a letter carrier and i know the fedex and ups driver on my route. lucky you dont got any snow lmao
Relaxing to watch
I want to do carrier and seems cool i work for fedex but in the airport love your vids and i wanna try carrier
I thought the old scanners were cool, why the change ☹️
Nice STI
🏎💨
need to upload more often bro
How did you become a driver for FedEx? Do you need a cdl
Finally you post gezzzzz🤟🏻
😂😂😂
I'm kinda curious do you work at a FedEx in Cypress Texas on Grand Parkway???
damn, youre lucky u deliver to some nice ass neighborhoods. and btw, i also live in tx..i know that summer time is fucking brutal...
I have a question, what do you use for POV on your GoPro camera? (I assume it's a GoPro Camera) XD Overall, great video!
I use a bite mount and a head mount
LunatiKz That makes sense, your POV is on point! I need to get a bite mount for my GoPro! Thanks for replying! 🥰 p.s. MAKE MORE VIDEOS I'm loving your channel!
A manual? I live in Jacksonville FL and will be working for FedEx courier soon delivering packages as well and I have never drove with a stick shift smh 🤦🏾♀️ hopefully it's an automatic that I will be driving
How do you drive an automatic in a delivery van 😁 ?
😂😂😂 tutorial coming soon
WOW and it's not even PEAK! Lol props bro
Glad you got the new scanners. What do you think of them so far? Also, I recommend getting ground cloud for your route. It will map out all your stops for you, which allows you to figure out the fastest route to go.
I want to work at FedEx and be a driver
5:27 looks so familiar is that sugar land
🤔
love
I'm noticing you guys are holding off on the nannycam too?
Can you make a video dealing with so many ic's to the point where you can't walk through the truck. Thats what i struggle with on my routes
You should try and clear IC and bulk stops first, if it's dominating that much of your floor space
Jot down a list of the most space consuming packages and sequence them accordingly. Once delivered, go back to the first page of your manifest
May seem like a waste, but that hour you spend opening up floor space will save you a lot of time, frustration, and risk of injury
I live in Texas to
I used to do 280 on 4 hours 300 plus pkg
im tryna see some content on the subie, that thing looks sick
Stay tuned 😜
Do y’all have GroundCloud yet with the iPad??
What happens if you don't get everything done?.
Shawty hustlin
Errday
I really hated the FedEx contractors here in Tulsa, they hassle you. And even if it is your first time driving the trucks, one strike and your already fired!
Wow 😭😭😭
Still not sure who this "Castari Q" on the scanner is. Screw Chewy also....
Liking the new Tc70?
My dog does too.
i have the same scanner I work at DHL EXPRESS in holland
Hey brother today is going to be my first day working for an independent contractor at FedEx in NJ.
I was wondering... Is $18 per hour about the standard on this job ?
Just about here in Ohio
Whats your pay rate on your end? When do they give you a full route? Ty
k so I left a comment on your "how to drive manual" video but it got super buried. I have an old diesel 5spd jetta. My dad used to be a truck driver and he taught me how to drive it. So, when im pulling up to a stop I have the clutch in but like just the 10 feet before I stop and then I leave it in until I get goin again. Partly because im lazy and partly because the trans is kinda clapped. Am I damaging it or does it really matter?
youre not damaging the clutch but youre probably putting more wear on your throw out bearing and your master cylinder though.
I personally wouldn’t hold the clutch at a stop. Only when engaging in and out of gear for me.
Do you stop for gas while your working if you need it or do you fuel up before
No doors? Isn’t it cold in the winter?
226 stops with no helper? Wow hope your weekly pay is over $1000 !!! I avg 60-80 stops a day in the Bronx Ny
Hey fedex guy lol what to u at I’m from San Antonio and I do routes on nw side I’ve been with fedex for about a year now
If you close your eyes while he's driving, you sorta get the experience of riding on public transit minus the loud people and mouth breathers. lol
Yessirrrr
Finished @430? Is that even 8 hours?
Am a amazon driver but want to go.to fedex just worried about the navigating without Gps and and triving the bobtail
100% would recommend the switch. You can learn to drive and run without GPS easily
I mean im still dont know how is it possible to deliver 230 packages a day. It is like fking 1 delivery in just 2 minutes for a 9-5 shift without a minute rest. How do this works
Beast mode!!!!!!
Is that the leo your using
Do you go to the gas station if you need a refill or do you fill up before the day
I gas up at the terminal before hitting the road
Did fedex change ground colors to purple and orange
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is there Gps in that handheld device?
