Lol I feel u.I would guess you won't get the job. Why would they hire you to DRIVE if you can't pass a simple road test?

oops sorry dex...you already covered itAnd whatever you do, don't pay for your own physical.
Yes I do lolMr. Simon: Do you even have a drivers license? Those do come in handy you know.
If you need money coming in, working for FedEx isn't the worst thing you could be doing. Do yourself a favor though and go for an Express job. You'll get better pay (by the hour, with overtime anytime you go over 8 in a day or come in on your day off) and you'll get health, dental, vision, and life insurance as well as a 401k with matching and portable pension.
It's not the best pay/benefit package out there but it's pretty good for a job that requires no experience or education.
Treat it like a two year trial. Put in the time, give it a good two years before you make up your mind about whether you want to stick with it unless you come across a better opportunity during that time. If you don't like it you're no worse than you are now and you can take that life experience and move on. If you think you wouldn't mind making a career of it then stick around and find your niche. Now is a great time to get in, massive waves of retirements are on the horizon so plenty of jobs will be opening up within the next 5 to 10 years and you'll find your name moving up the list pretty quickly.
JMO, but I would NOT pay for my own DOT physical, the potential employer should IF they want you bad enough...
The frequency at which our new hires have accidents, I would guess Express hires people that can't pass a road test.I would guess you won't get the job. Why would they hire you to DRIVE if you can't pass a simple road test?
What if you didn't have a job and were looking for a driving gig? Applying with a current medical card shows a level of competence.The only way I would even think of paying for my own DOT is if the employer agreed to refund the charges after the completion of a probationary period.
Ok but let's say I fail the road test what will happen?
If you were hired by the company, then corporate pays for your DOT medical, but you are Ground, meaning you are your own business man or you are subcontracted by the owner of routeI got a call from fedex to go in for an interview and fill out a job application. The lady told me that I had to pay for the DOT card and the DOT physical. Plus what is the difference between DOT and NON DOT Driver?
