what do i need to become a fedex truck driver?
i really want to become a fedex truck driver. i was wondering if i needed a cdl or a special kind of license. its kind of my dream job since i like being alone most of the time so any info would help : ) also is it hard to get a job as a truck driver.
Michelle answers:
My dad is a fedex truckdriver and yes you need a CDL. But honestly there are somedays that they dont even get to drive anywhere. FedEx is hurting right now on getting people out there to make even a steady income. Just last week my dad worked only 3 out of 5 days. Some weeks are even worse than others. I would recommend that you work for a different company other than FedEx. Their future looks very grim and that 2009 is going to just get worse. There are plenty of other trucking companies out there that even pay for your schooling on getting your CDL like Conway. Schnieder is another trucking company that ive heard is really good. Stay away from Knight trucking Co. They screwed my dad over on paying him and are in a lawsuit. I hope this helped! If you are looking for making this a career i would NOT go with FedEx.
Donald asks…
Can you expedite the shipping of a Fedex package already in transit?
I ordered 3 new phones, and thought they were being overnight shipped. In fact, I didn’t actually select that shipping service and they are being shipped by Fedex 2-day. The packages are already in transit but won’t be delivered for at least another day. Is there a way I can expedite the shipping of that package?
Michelle answers:
Why are you asking a bunch of strangers on Yahoo! Answers instead of the person you bought the phones from, or FedEx?
Generally speaking though, you’re out of luck. Changing the priority on an already in-transit shipment is not something that is easily accomplished unless it’s just barely entered the process (still in the original truck, for example). Again, that’s why you should be talking to FedEx, not Yahoo…you’re letting time slip away while you’re sitting at your computer hoping for a helpful answer.
George asks…
What does the departed fedex location means?
I order some items online and its coming from new york but it says is in new jersey “departed fedex location” Does that mean the delivery its being affected due to the huracane?
Michelle answers:
Are you always this thick? It means it DEPARTED the FEDEX LOCATION. It’s on its way. 4th grade English.
Steven asks…
How are package tracking numbers for FedEx and UPS assigned?
There are patterns like how numbers increase by 7 each time a new tracking number is assigned unless the new number does not increase the second digit.
Example:
one number is 013840222514114 at fedex
the next valid number is 013840222514121
but it skips 013840222514128
and goes to 013840222514138
My question is: what are the algorithms of assigning these numbers?
Michelle answers:
You pretty much figured it out. Not sure about UPS (see below), but FedEx Ground tracking #s like your examples are 15 digits long, whereas current Express #s are 12 digits long. UPS has much higher volume/market share than FedEx so they have to use letters in their #s.
It’s kinda like the transaction code whenever you buy something and get your receipt. The # represents how many burgers have been sold so far (trillions!). If you really figure out the actual algorithm (if one indeed exists) for assigning such #s, then you’ve got something!
