[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1490763, member: 24302"] Here's your options: usually start at part-time off the street but since you're already an employee you can bid on fulltime rts. Points are added to your total every week you work. Person with most points who bids on rt gets it IF they decide to take it. I've seen almost 20 people turn down a rt before someone takes it but usually the person with most points takes or one of those in top 3 after him/her does. Want to make more money/get more hours? Become a swing driver and often those positions are there for the taking. But be advised, you'll start out at close to $15hr all the way up to over $19hr depending on your stations payscale. A bit more as a swing. All the hard work in the world won't get you bigger raises as FedEx now gives 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5% based on what "quartile" or quarter you're in of the payscale. The exception is they keep raising starting pay 3% so as a new courier you may get 3% raises. But the topped out employees keep getting 3% raises too. Has the effect of raising the midpoint between 3% and 4% quartiles and trapping lower paid employees in a cycle of minimal raises that might go on for 20 years or more before they can hit 4% raises. Your best bet if you're a real go getter is to go into management. Pays better but serious issues of it's own. FedEx has turned a job with a future into a labyrinth of deception that goes nowhere fast. Don't believe what you're being told because it's a mgr's job to tell you what you want to hear. If you want a driving job with a future go UPS. [/QUOTE]
