Your Questions About Fedex

Mary asks…

How long would it take a FedEx truck to deliver something about 28.5 miles from its current location?

The truck has left the FedEx facility in North Billerica, MA and I live in Revere, MA. Roughly 28.5 miles and the drive is usually 39 minutes by car. How long would it take the FedEx truck to get here with all those other delivery stops?
The truck left the facility at 6:44 this morning btw.

Michelle answers:

Normally, they do the businesses first, and do not even start on the homes until after 10:30, sometimes not until after 3. However, on Saturday, most businesses are closed.

Well, it’s already noon in MA, and I don’t think they work past 7 p.m., except at Christmas time, so and they need 40 minutes to get back to the FedEx facility after they deliver to you, so they have to deliver within the next 6 hours or so. Probably.

The distance is not really the issue. The truck may only need 39 minutes to get to Revere, but once it gets there, it may take all day to deliver to all the houses there, so it could be late when it gets to you.

How much does a UPSF or FedEx Freight Driver make in California?

UPS Freight, not UPS Ground and FedEx Freight starting pay. I ask because I want to move to California in the future.

Since nobody with direct experience has answered, let me ask this — have you looked on payscale.com and salary.com? They are big compensation databases, adjusted for location. Good luck!

How to scan a FedEx tracking number to Excel?

Greetings All

My question is how to scan a FedEx tracking to an Excel cell.

We are trying to scan the FedEx tracking number but the number that appears in the cell is not the number scanned. Usually it ends with 13 0s on the end.

Ideally I would like to scan the tracking number and have the tracking number appear without the remaining characters. Not sure of a equation to create in Excel to do this.

Michelle answers:

You need to “format” the cell you wish to input the tracking number to. It should be formatted for “text” input and not a number. I suspect it is now set to “number” and that is why you are getting the error you do. A “text” formatted cell will accept any combination of digits, characters, symbols and even spaces, whereas a “numerical” formatted cell will only accept digits.
