I'm thinking in about a year once I've had some experience, I'll start considering where I want to end up. I'm a rookie but so far FedEx has been great to me and I like working for them.

My first week at FE I was riding around with a guy that's been here for just under 20 years. He said when he retires that's his exact plan. Stupid easy money.

Why can't they enforce the commitment? It's a legal contract with terms that cover early exit.

Not can't, won't. Guess they figure the time and expense isn't worth it.

Also, what are the odds I would transition into this position during peak? I'm assuming that's pretty slim. I still need to get the permit (I've had it before, so not worried about taking the test again). I'm moving out of state in a couple of weeks and just trying to figure out how quickly I should get it. Don't want to miss an open position...

You need the permit quickly. I dont remember if you need it beforehand or within 30 days. Seems like if you are transferring to a new state, you wouldn't have it beforehand.

You may have to wait until after Peak. Your current SM probably won't let you go.

Are CDL permits state specific? If so, why would you get one now if you are moving out of state in a few weeks?

Yeah, so I'll transfer my license ASAP when I move and get the permit done. What about transferring to the position during peak? Probably gonna have to wait until January?

They are state specific. I'm not planning on getting it until I move. My concern was whether I need to get it as soon as possible or if it could wait until after peak. Trying to figure out when they would want to train me.

During Peak? Not gonna happen.

Kind of thinking the same thing. Although he surprised me by saying he would let me go after I've only been with him for 2 months. He's also the one that networked this position for me. I guess I'll ask him tomorrow.

Is there a way I can see the in-house open positions outside of work? I'm curious if there is one open right now or not. It wasn't made very clear.

I'm pretty sure JCATS can only be accessed through the company intranet.

On the public FE website there's a shuttle driver position listed. Is that the same as RTD?

No. You can only look at work. You can only transfer if there is an open position in JCATS. Also, it has to be posted with a waiver and your SM has to sign off on it.

I'll go in early tomorrow and see what I can do. SM already said he would sign off on it no questions asked. Kind of disappointed I'll be leaving him behind. Great boss.

That is usually a station position shuttling freight to/from station. Probably driving a 700.

It's listed as CDL, but the pay is less than us couriers make.

Thank you everyone for your help. If I remember I will post with update after tomorrow. Have a great Thanksgiving.
