How Long does it take to go FT As a courier at FedEx Express?

Instantly here, but I'm not willing to drive that milage everyday to work.
Driving Directions :


Edmonton International Airport (YEG)
63.10 kilometres


Airport Rd, Edmonton, AB


46 mins / 63.10 kilometres (from my north side of the city), and that's a 1-way trip !

You need to get lucky. We have 2 couriers that went FT in under 2 years. BUT, 1 became a District swing, perfect for the single person (if I were single, I would have taken it) and the other became a regular swing . I asked the second guy to think about what he were doing and wonder why nobody with more seniority took that position. He knows now what I was saying. They'll never get the 'primo' routes.

These days, you'll be lucky to get FT ever.

Speaking of this subject, any Edmonton fedex express workers on here? I have someone that is in need of a ride share, he's willing to pay atleast $200 mth and lives in the southside. (99 Street, just off whyte)

10 years or right away! Luck.

it's sort of like asking "how long is a piece of string?"

Or better yet, how long is that string with the carrott on the other end!!

 

[northeast swing driver]

why would you ask?

sounds like you are under the impression going FT is some great thing

if you are interested in a job to nowhere then good luck

if you are looking for anything close to a career get out right away

Best chance is full-time swing. I don't see a good outlook for full-time positions at fedex express. If you seek full-time head over to a ground contractor. You can make $14.00hr with no benefits. Plus I hear you can wear cut off jean shorts out on road! True story!

depends on where you are(as noted above) I was PT for 3 weeks, then upgraded. Transfered into a PT station was upgraded again in 1 month. Now PT again, and stuck for almost 2 years...(transfers were emergencies, otherwise I would have kept FT)

Don't go full time. It was a good deal 20 years ago, now it's not. USE FedEx college reimbursement program to get a real job with a real future. FT courier at FedEx is immensely unrewarding.
