- Amazon Delivery VS FedEx Ground (Who should YOU work for?)
Trying to decide whether to work for Amazon or FedEx Ground? Who has better pay and an easier workload? Watch this video! It's going to help you decide. I wish I knew these things before I made a choice so I'm here to help you decide. Maybe this video will give you the answer you wanted or needed! FedEx ground and Amazon delivery are two-way different things. One is much much harder and the other is much much easier in comparison. In one fo these jobs you'll have to carry boxes that weigh more than 100lbs and the other you almost never carry a delivery that weighs more than 60 lbs.
Enjoy the video and I hope I helped you decide.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?! WHO SENT YOU?!!? Did this video help you make a final decision?! 😀
currently loading trailers at fedex i was thinking of doing driver, but after watching this video :-D I'm yes doing amazon lol, so tomorrow going out to amazon facility and apply
Haha yeah, non of the packages are heavier than 60 lbs. it’s usually never gets over 50 lbs.
I've worked for both FedEx ground and Amazon I'm currently at Amazon and it's way better plus you get benefits at Amazon, at FedEx ground not alot of contractors offer benefits
One thing that sucks about Amazon that most DSP gets paid by the hour. Not by the day
About to start fedex was at Amazon lol
Juan ..you are just awesome and just so on point!!! Very great comparison ...enjoyed all of it so entertaining.
Thanks. You just help me make my decision. The 2 deciding factors for me is pay rate and load weight
Thanks for the video. Trying to decide which one.
If you can get into FedEx express I heard that’s really good. Some contractors for FedEx pay by the package. So that might be a better route if you work for FedEx. Some also pay a bit more than others, but you will carry heavy stuff for FedEx lol
broo i’m reconsidering my life choice💀 i worked 8 months for a dsp(chandler, az), really good dispatchers and fun people, only problem is just amazon kept coming up with more requirements overtime idk about now since i left. Then i switch to fedex ground that offered me 155 a day but man i’m 2 weeks in driver training and this is no joke. Having to deliver 100+ pounds crib to a third floor apt with no elevator is a nightmare. I had a rider/trainer with me and i can’t imagine doing it alone. And i heard it gets worst during peak times. I’m 23, lift regularly but man. Now i respect those people even more because it really is heavy work for some. Maybe other drivers have it easier on the residential side but for me it’s mostly loading docks, businesses and some apts. I’ll take stupid routes and more stops/packages over heavy lifting just saying.
fedex ground bulk driver here. Keep it up bro. Respect outta Houston Tx 💯
Thanks! 😁😁😁😁
Amazon be annoying sometimes especially the warehouse workers. And try to watch everything you do 😂 mentor customer reviews score sheets and all that like bruh just let me deliver this package in peace 😂😂
Are the warehouse workers our enemies? Like are they trying to get us in trouble?
Amazon have step vans now. The big trucks just like UPS and FedEx. They give you more stops but you tend to do less rescues compared to the prime vans. Also they give you a dollar or two more to drive them.
Nothing beats NOT being monitored while you work though 🤷🏽♂️ Not sure if this new tech was out back when you made this comparison video, but.. even if you yawn, you get some type of points taken away from your performance. That same camera they use that senses your yawn patterns, also takes not your blinking. The only perk, when in comparison with only FedEx Ground, is the pay schedule.. lol. Comparing Amazon to any other courier business, it’s easy to see that even the pay isn’t enough. That place is just a good stepping stone to get into UPS/FedEx/DHL and even USPS.
Thank you for the video. I have an interview for both deciding which one I want.
You’re welcome! :)
Looks like I’m going with Amazon thanks again
you are a legit dream come true for me my friend Thank you for this video..
You’re very welcome! 😁😁😁
hehe good video man, I'm now in situation to chose one of this two...
Hope you like which ever one you chooose!
i work as an amazon driver and was thinking about switching to fedex, i heard the benefits are better.
currently i’m making 18.75h and doing 190-200 stops, 300+ packages usually. i usually work 8-10 hours, but always get paid for 10.
also, most packages are envelopes and bags, rarely get anything big, but i still run every single package. my DSP moves the most flow in the entire warehouse so they really push us to keep that #1 ranking.
Thanks for the outlook. I am recently laid off and considering Amazon delivery as an option.
No problem! And if you do amazon and don’t enjoy it very much at least gain some experience and then apply to ups or FedEx express. I heard those play very well and fedex express is not as bad as ground is lol
I work for both ! I’m blessed
This intro was awesome.
Great job.
I have been with Express for 7 years. Best job I ever had.
Ground and Amazon in this area is basically quite similar pay and stops etc.
So much depends on the market.
Great video. Best of luck to you.
I’ve heard better things about express haha do you guys deliver heavy packages? Amazon the heaviest is around I’ve done is probably dog food around 50 lbs or some water. At FedEx ground I was doing 70+ lbs everyday and thank you!!!!! 😁😁😁
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly at Express not a lot of heavy freight. Some routes occasionally ... Some rarely ever.
I have been Part Time for seven years and have great benefits and get nicely paid per hour. I can work more when I'm able and work less to raise my 3 kids when needed. It's awesome.
Great job on the videos. Best to you. I'll be following along !
Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it!
Would prefer to get on at fed x express. But I have a choice between fed x ground and amazon flex. I think I'm going flex
You eased my suffering, bro! 😀
Gracias!!
I work for J. Bezos inc through one of the five DSP's at the Warehouse we load out of; and yes, its lots of deliveries and pay is slightly less that Fed Ground, but the van is very manuvrable and the packages are never hardly ever over 50-60 pounds, mostly just large envelopes and medium to small boxes, just like you said.
I wasn't planning on switching anyway, but it was nice to hear this from the other camp.
At least your making a lottle more now, but I agree the extra coin isnt worth it.
I love those Armada vans and i avoided the offer to drive their step van (bread truck 🍞 🚚 I call them) for the extra dollar an hour even though the step vans are a lottle shorter than Fed Ex's Ground Vans. Tgose bad boys are loooong! I saw one up close at in my route a month ago while talking to a driver.
Every thing you said about Amazon is accurate..
Great video!
Sorry about the typos. The tube has made editing comments very difficult lately.
I also waa told by that driver that fed ex contractors pay differently (as you well know), depending on the contractor and he then gave me the name of a good paying contractor (even though i not going to leave money bags Bezos.)
I'm not big on job hopping anyway, and i say that as one who previously worked temp jobs for 5 years with crappy benefits, even though the pay was competetive.
That totally burned me out and as a result, I am very happy being shackled to the Amazon Octopus.
🐙 👀
Its been 3 years, now and I am going on my fourth year. (Load-outs arent to bad, like you said. I have gotten used to it.)
Long tedious days sometimes, but i enjoy working alone and outside! I'm sure you agree.
Thanks again, sir! 🫡
Sweet. I was hoping you would do a comparison video. I'm at AMZN DSF5 and the first two weeks I thought I'd have to quit bc my pre-pandemic job I worked in an office (so kinda sedentary), but once I got used to the pace and the # of pkgs (for me 300+ in 20+ totes), I enjoy it now. Although I must admit, I take some shortcuts sometimes (i.e.: skipping the POD and U-turns that I probably shouldn't do), nonetheless it's fun in the end.
hahah you do you eugene! xD Just make sure you check your you didn't miss any packages at all or else they'll be all over you! and yeah man FEDEX GROUND IS TRAAAAASHHHHH! LOL
Yeah, shortcuts are a must. I work out of Riverside CA, DCX1 I take any shortcuts I can, like not using my seat belt although it looks like I'm using it I'm really not. I just started a month ago, I need to get faster. I get about 170 to 190 stops and they keep giving me those white vans instead of the branded ones. So I'm not sure if I should take the 16 hourly rate offer from FedEx Ground, this video kind've scared me.
I really do think your experience between DSPs and contractors varies, I started with ground a month and half ago and I don’t have to run all day, but with Amazon I was getting way heavier loads with no time to do anything, FedEx there’s no pressure to finish but since I’m used to the grind with Amazon I still finish earlier
That’s exactly how I am at Ground now. Amazon literally indoctrinated me into being fast even when I don’t have to.
If you call cpc then they can open the pickup window for you always get cool with your pick up customers
The beginning was so intense 😂😂
Almost got into a fight ! 😂 the stare down !
lol I’m watching this while I’m waiting for my pickups to open
Awwww yea!!!! 🤣🤣
They should make all boxes with handles it's hard getting heavy boxes off the floor
Or give you someone to work with everyday lol 😂
I currently just quit FedEx ground! Everything you said was ACCURATE! Never again
I'm at Amazon now and put in my background check at Fed Ex.....
Yea... I'll stay driving for Amazon a Lil longer😭🤣🤣🤣
😂
My amazon dsp only pays what you work . The work load was more stops and group stops was so annoying so if you have 180 stops its really more.. peak season is less work because they hire more people but they do offer overtime and you can do rescues . I heard for fedex you can get paid salary and hourly or by the stop
i work for ground. i choose my own hours, paid by the route and bonus out with extra stops every day. plus 401k and medical/dental/vision benefits. i think i get paid very well for the work i do plus the bonus rate adds up super quick
my hub also has the package handlers load the trucks too! makes the job wayyy easier
You got a very good contractor! Lol it wasn’t for me 150 a day. Nahhh, but hey! If it work! Hell yeah!!
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly i’ll have to ask around my facility and see what others offer. we have 12 contractors in my facility i believe.
Thank you
I work Fedex Home Delivery out in Long Island. I get $200 daily rate plus I get paid $1.25 per stop after 180 stops. Daily my route is usually in the 160 stops range. Peak aka xmas time I get around 200 to 280 stops daily. I finish daily at 1-2pm and start at 7:30am. Peak with almost 300 stops I finish around 3-4pm the latest. My route is tight and my contractor is a fair guy. In my opinion Fedex is 10x better than Amazon simply because I get paid way more and do less hours daily. I don’t mind the big packages since its a good daily workout and I never ran ever lol
I guess the circumstances depends on location of your terminal, your route, your contractor and your ability to handle the workload daily.
Yeah it’s all depending on who you work for.lol maybe you’re just super good at your job lol 😂
Damn $200 daily rate is nice, they’re starting me off at $162
Great video..
Intro was UFC great🤣
13:29 He said you gon have to run like Sonic!!! 🤣 LMFAO!!!!!!
Urrrday! Lol 😭😭😭
lol i only get 9am dispatches for Fedex.. i laughed every time you said "start your route at 7" x.x
@reuben pell i made average 808$ on the week, that's after taxes working a mandatory 6 days every week. it was grueling and i had a boony-country ass route. after 4 months into the job, i got a 50$ on the week raise, which is where i came out to be 808$ average on the week. (i was netting 850$, but taxes came out to be 808$.)
Liked within the first 10 sec LOL
Lmao awww yeah
Oh my god, reminds me of the Ontrac days so much. Heavy ass 30 pound chewy boxes. Don't even forget about the blue apron boxes. I'll be honest though, I got a really good workout those days 🤣
Man! Lmao I work out at work and after work! Kinda sucks cause it doesn’t let me go as hard as I want to go at the gym. Lol 😂 those chewy boxes get heavy! Lmao
Lawd I worked as an unloader for fedex had to lift these heavy ass desk sets man I had to use every muscle in my body and they want you to keep moving I don’t care what happen in life never going back to that place ever again lmao
Same! Never ever going to FedEx ground ! Lol I hated it.
Akeam Tomlin My god! Thank you for your service. Under appreciated job that deserves more pay.
I work for fedex and I don't run at all. We leave the terminal at 930am and I finish my route at 130pm. It depends your route and how familiar you are with the roads
4 hours for 140 stops seems impoosible
35 an hour. Probably very concentrated route
@@queensofthedthrone8267 especially if you got alot of apartments you can have like 20 stops in one complex, nice af when they have a hub locker lol
Thanks for the info man. Question, does the step in trucks (not vans) have air air-condition? I hear everyone speak on the heat
Almost all vans have ac. Lol you just have to keep turning off the van cause of Amazon or you just have to keep stepping out so the ac only lasts as long as you’re in the vans. You’ll be hopping in and out a ton
Lmao that intro. Hoping to use Amazon DSP as stepping stone into Fed Ex.
Just go straight to FedEx they hiring immediately
Amazon= Airforce
Ups=army
FedEx= Marines
USPS= navy
DHL= coast guard
Nope. There is a reason Fedex's PEAK pay is only UPS's STARTING pay. UPS is the marines hands down.
@@sauce8277 lol I disagree I am talking in terms of difficulty not pay😂😂😂
@@enzymes5840 I am too. UPS in current times said to deliver in the 500 package range and hit 600 peak , maybe more. I know Fedex doesnt do that though it probably does alot. If I had to guess, 350 peak?
@@sauce8277 damn true
I weight 103lbs and I had my first training day 10/15/2020.(Yesterday). When I say huge packages yes and I know I wont be able to deliver those. On my route yesterday, somebody ordered a whole pool and deep freezer, like idk if I would be able to work Fedex ground let alone they dont offer benefits. So i applied to amazon and I feel they would be better. Fedex express is hiring too but only part time, I need full time.
Lol fedex ground is way too much. Especially if you’re 103. Most definitely go for amazon and later apply for express 😁 once they have fill time
Hey Bud, great video! I loved your intro. The stare down was great! Are you going to stay with Fed Ex? Maybe make a follow-up video say after two more weeks of doing Fed Ex, light you said in other videos for Amazon, it gets easier the more you do it. Do you think it would get easier once you get your system down for Fed Ex? I'm just curious that's all. Also, some day, I would like to go for my Class B CDL license. Fed Ex up here in MA pays those Class B drivers very well, at least that's what Indeed has listed. Take care Bud! - Mike
Haha maybes when you know your way around it will get a bit easier since you’ll know you’re area, but I believe the load will still be pretty heavy because and heavy item. And aye man if you get a class b you don’t just have to look at FedEx there are other places as well, but if fedex is where you want to go then go for it 😁 doesn’t hurt to try it. Like I did lol I’m already trying to go back to my old job 😂
I just started working for an Amazon DSP a month ago. Great team, best team in the station (DB07) & I personally need to master picking up the pace without breaking rules. I've seen so many videos about speed but these folks put the seat belt behind them, leave the sliding door open and so on. I've had team leaders bless me with some knowledge so I'm hoping my next work day. I finish by 6pm or before that.
Now I’m nervous AF!! I just left Amazon to go work with FedEx
In my own opinion, Amazon Delivery, was ugly, but if you’re saying FedEx is worse
, dammm I’m probably gonna hate it! Today is my first day and I start in one hour lol 😂
Wish me luck everybody ,
Found a contractor that pays 20 per hour…. They say they’re getting 40-45 hours a week. Amazon is shot as hell I gotta go
Yo! You hilarious soul✌🤣🤣🤣
FedEx pay better in nyc. And you get pay by hr or by day plus bonus that can be from 180 to 300 and if u finish the route you get pay for the whole day .
Fed ex is better depending on your contractor my contractor is great I get off on average around 3:30 get there around 9.
Same here I agree I’m done with Amazon fuck rescues
I can honestly say Amazon by far has a smoother process, I worked at both...FedEx Ground is a horrible place to work and I was only their a week the contractors don’t care about any employee or their safety, FedEx’s routes are all messed up and never in order, Amazon is by far better but UPS is the best and pays the best
🤣🤣🤣 Fedex is where the men deliver. Amazon has nothing but boys delivering.
UPS is no where near the best, they suck at giving hours, it’s this one guy I use to work with, that fell into there trap, they told him he was going to be full time, so he left where I was working, just to find out that he would be getting 20-30 hours a week as driver, cause it wasn’t the holidays yet, UPS is not to be trusted.
For UPS, according to the policy, you can stay till you reach at 8 hours a day. The company is not allow to forcefully make you leave early. They are not allow to send you home if you refuse to go home.
Amazon Fresh Grocery Delivery pays alot more 21 usd per delivery compare to regular packaging. 2 hour delivery vs 4 hour window. Some items are light like ramen and candy. Others are "heavy" like gallon of milk, 6 pack soda bottles, or 5 lbs of potatoes.
Debating between Amazon or FedEx ground, Amazon has the cameras inside the vans and you're always being watched and FedEx you are on your own but have to carry heavier packages. Also they are both hourly
Some do pay hourly, but I believe most pay by the day. Also some pay per package (FedEx). Amazon is only hourly
I worked at Amazon for 15 months. They started me out the first 2 or 3 months running approx 100 to 130 stops per day. For the last year I now run 190 to 200 stops everyday. No breaks, no lunch ever. I clock in at 6 a.m get to my first stop between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. I have to be finished with 200 stops by roughly 3:45 to 4:00 p.m everyday. By the time I finish fueling up and driving back to station and unloading my van, I typically clock out around 4:30 to 5:00. Come in much later than that and they will write you up.
Tripping lol I work at Fedex ground usually 130 stops a day finish by 2 and enjoy the day
@@vqchango6669 I'm starting FedEx ground today and if you ask me amazon have got to be worse I ain't had a break or lunch since I started working for them.
Amazon the slave ship I’m leaving
Pickup windows are based on when the business wants it picked up. Not FedEx
At least you don’t have to take pictures before you leave ….
Hey Juan - Quick Q for ya - at AMZ, when you get those totes with two or three pkgs in them and you want to just take the contents on the an and leave the tote, what is your method of storing those to find them easily items until they come up in your itinerary?
Haha if there is a tote with just two packages or so there’s usually another tote with the same packaging or area. I just stick them into those Totes with the same zone number. If there’s not then I’ll just keep the whole tote and place it in order that way it’s super easy to find. You could also set it with your overflow and find it that way.
For anyone watching run far from fedex ground. I left amazon under the impression I would make more money at fedex. I worked 60 hours a week for 700 a week. I'm starting with UPS at 21.50 and they top out at 40 in 4 years but their hiring process is no joke.
Facts! How’s the hiring process at UPS?
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly application submitted a week later I got a job offer you have to do a driving test then a 1 week virtual academy then 30 day probation before you're in the union
I heard it’s really hard to get in. lol like lots of people apply and don’t even get responses.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly I brought that up during my hiring process and the lady said that's just not the case anymore. If the job is posted online it's available to the public. I applied all over the state of kansas and actually got a job offer from 2 locations
Nice! That’s good to know for people! Thank you!
Lol I always see FedEx and UPS vans that are beat up, headlights or hood missing.
Lol I ive seen those too! But these are new ones. They are still huuuuge! Lol gets scary when you’re in between two 18 wheelers
How is the navigation software for Fedex? Amazon DSP is horrible. Glitchy and likely to cause an accident.
From what I last remember it was a lot different from Amazon . I prefer Amazon one lol
Hey Juan, I totally agree with you. Amazon is much better than FedEx for the money. Stay safe my friend. 😊 😊
Haha thank you!! Will do! Have to so I can keep making videos for you guys! 😁😁😁
I’m getting offered $19.50 at dsp and FedEx express at $18 which do you think would better? FedEx says it’s only 180 packages and 30 miles of driving
i heard fedex express is very good. As long as you're not doing fedex ground. lol I'd do fedex express.
I've been at fedex ground for 3 weeks loading the boxes in the trailers its insane difficult work. Im a fit and active guy but not for me when the boss is going irate and im lifting 100lb 150lb boxes nonstop. Brutal work its only 4 hours long but feels like 10hrs. At the same time they do not allow you to listen to music or anything. So next stop amazon delivery driver for me, Bye fed-ex Learn to treat your employees better for doing insane grunt work.
Haha aye! Use that then try fedex express! I heard it’s a lot better! That’s if you don’t like amazon. But if you like amazon, stick to it! Or maybe you can use it as a gate way to get into ups
Amazon= Airforce
Ups=army
FedEx= Marines
USPS= navy
DHL= coast guard
Lmao 😂 that’s one way to put it
If I ever worked at FedEx I hope it won't be insane. It shouldn't though. I guess it's how you look at it
Over at DHL we have a belt in the middle with all our packages coming thru, we grab whatever has our route stickers on them, and while that's going on i scan them to load them on my scanner and at the same time i use an app on my phone called road warrior where i type in addresses and it creates a map for me, just like flex but here i can choose how to run my route so i organize my penske box truck on which stops i will do first and last, it's alot easier than fedex ground, since we have small packages, same size as amazon and my avarage stop count is 80 stops, the takeaway is that we don't get dispatched till 11am
I’ve seen DHL trucks before not much but they are around. At amazon We’d leave the loading station by 12:45 pm. Do you enjoy DHL?
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly it's alot better than what i was doing at amazon, at DHL we have our own set routes, my route luckily is the area where i live, so i know the streets really well, and sometimes i even have time to pass by my house to use the bathroom and grab a bit of ice cream
I was working for Express was get paid 18.50 an hour and working 55 hours a week even though I was part time. But I had to commute 1hr and 15mins to get to my station one way. But got hired at the post office I’m my town as a CCA and starting Orientation September 8th
In express did you also carry very heavy items? That sounds better than ground. 18.50 /h shooo much better lol and congrats on the new job!!
IAmTheJuanAndOnly our heaviest packages at Express were up to 75 pounds . and thanks . The post office I’ll be working at is only 10min drive lol and I’m only getting paid 1.75 less at 17.25 an hour
So happy for you! Yes! 👌🏼 haha youre going to kill it! And thanks for that info! 😁😁😁
You should of went for home delivery.. no pick ups
My questions is are you allowed to choose how much packages you wanna take on a route or not?
nope. not at all. its always a surprise lol
I work at FedEx ground. We get paid 150 a day plus $1 per stop after 130stops, most of us here average 150-190 stops and still able to finish within a 8hour shift.
It might have a lot to do with your Contractor as well, our boss is pretty cool and if you're running behind they'll send someone to come take 20 stops which saves you about 45min-1hr.
Shit your lucky
You still there bro?
I am working at fed ex ground through contract it’s too much work. Amazon was a little better. I’m out there deliverying at night in the dirt roads. It’s not safe . So does fed ex have an all day route ? Meaning whenever you finish
Fedex ground is you deliver until you’re done. Lol amazon your deliver until you’re done too but the cut off time is 11 pm. Fedex ground you shouldn’t be out that late, but it’s so tiring. Especially since you deliver heavy loads alone.
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly Yeah i left fed ex, so trying to go back to amazon. lol
Lol if I can go back, so can you!
I deliver for FedEx and I hustle but I don't run I walk and man my body feels like I am being crushed by the wate of these boxes
And that’s 10 plus hours plus overtime at time and a half so 30$ something an hour
@j N are you serious?!?? that’s how much nurses get paid here in michigan lmao
I started doing the amazon delivery but my dsp got shut down because they were sh**ty but it’s ok I’m quick on my feet and got my route down at FedEx and I’m doing 200 stops in like 3-4 hrs and get paid by day making almost 3x what I was at amazon
Lol 200 stops in 3 hours? That’s impossible. That’s 1 delivery every 50 seconds.
I used to work at fedex ground as a package handler and the biggest/heaviest package I had to put in a trailer was a crib and sheesh that was heavy
Dude! I bet! Lmao it’s crazy! Bet you were tired a ton!
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly I was tired a lot. I did that job for 11 months.
I bet! Those packages are crazy heavy
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly they were heavy
Didn't know you worked for fedex lol. I just had a interview days ago and switching amazon almost 3 years to fedex ground.
Yeah. Lol it has its perks I’d you get a good route
Amazon sucks
Ok so I already know the difference between ground and express what I like to know is if becoming a package handler at ground your still working under a contractor like the drivers, and express handler your working directly for fedex? Im trying to see the difference es between the 2 package handler jobs, express pays 14.95 hour in the job description plus be able to lift 50+ lbs while ground I don't see how much they pay which should I go for, which is harder to get in?
From when I last worked at ground and talked to a package handler they were getting paid 13 an hour. And man oh man! Do they work! They will be moving 50+ lbs and more up to 100 + lbs. it might not be a far distance, but it can get tiring. I believe it’s a Burt harder to get into express, but if I had to choose I’d go with express. Ground is a whole other level of work lol you’ll be working very hard(which isn’t bad) but you’ll be sweating and very sore. Those packages get HEAVY! I’m not sure if you’ll be working with a contractor, but I wouldn’t doubt it. You might be working for FedEx, since the contractors are the People who deliver.
Package handler is FedEx employee. I did it for 3 years
Working for Amazon is a joke. I’ve worked for 3 different DSPs at 2 different locations. You finished your route and then forced to rescue somebody who is slow AF. My latest DSP pays you for 10 hours even if you don’t work the full 10 hours but if you finished and refuse to do a rescue they will not pay you for the 10 hours only the hours you worked. If you refuse to do rescue they take away the quality pay. And if you refuse rescues often they get pissed at you and be like it’s part of your job saying you signed up for 10 hour shifts. And the late start time sucked. I clocked in at 10AM and headed to the warehouse at around 10:30 and then leaving warehouse to 1st stop after 11 and then drive 1 hour to get to my first stop. I hated getting to my first stop after 12 with 150 to 190 stops.
Try to do 200 stops with no gps. Or you manually enter addresses with Google maps. That's what happens at Express and UPS. Yea you got alot of stops at Amazon but their system makes it ALOT easier to accomplish. Amazon's gps and routing system is the best in the game!
That’s the schedule I’m being offered what time did you get off? I also got offered to work for FedEx
Fed Ex is Salary?
I work for Amazon. I like the bags the packages come in now I see how the video of Fed Ex of heavy boxes and looks like it is all over the place. I like we get paid hourly.
Amazon has the delivery game on lock. You may get more packages but that's because they have a great gps app built in to their scanning devices. You can literally coast on your route with Amazon.
I would not recommend working for FedEx for anyone, but that depends on you but working for FedEx is like being a mover with these big behind boxes
@@E.RHYMES😂must only apply to your amazon DSP group😂 bc flex here screws up a lottttttttt during any given route
At Amazon you get breaks, lunch and better pay. Fedex has no breaks pay is lower. You work hard at both but fedex is worst because those boxes are very heavy.
Sooooo heavy
Fedex pays way better than amazon idk why u say that.
Lol Amazon makes more than Fedex? I hope you’re joking, Amazon wants to start people off at 15 a hour, while Fedex is paying 18-20 a hour starting off.
I made 22$ per hour at amazon with weekly bonus. And i just got 1000$ yearly anniversary as an employee. In my area. None of dsp pay under 16$ for driver.
@@dogbsasactually he’s not wrong Amazon is paying pretty good right now. Amazon is starting off drivers at 21 an hour in my area.
Are you thinking of switching back to Amazon? A buddy of mine works for FedEx Ground his contractor pays per package and stop. Not hourly or daily
Someone told me to ask my contractor to do that, but I doubt he will lol 😂 and yes! Amazon! Today I delivered a 96 lbs couch 🛋 all alone to the second floor lol there was no elevator !!
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly Jesus. Yeah not worth the back pain. Hopefully you can find another DSP that pays a little bit more. My DSP pays $16 an hour and I just started no experience in South Cali. You have experience you should get $17-18.
Dude yesterday!! Omg I didn’t get off till almost 8 Pm and started at 7;30!!! Lol I had to take a 96 lbs couch 🛋 all by myself to the second floor to some apartments because there were no elevators! Lol was a struggle... oh also lol I had a package that was 260 lbs to deliver and I had to pick up one that was about 80 lbs.. you have to be fit to do this fedex ground thing
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly I've went to the door and ask them to help because it's too heavy to carry by myself. And they actually help.
That’s nice of them lol 😆 idk if your manager would of approved of that
Those chewy boxes in the background makes my back hurt just seeing those. Those boxes are heavy as hell. I know because I order from chewy.
Lmao 😂 yeah they are! You breaking fedex people’s backs!
I always feel guilty when I order from Chewy knowing how heavy they are. Remember to use proper lifting techniques and stay safe. Thanks for all you do.
I use to load those chewy boxes. I still have flashbacks.
How dare you 😭😭
Did you do the serptine backing? And road test? Was it hard?
For Amazon? Or for FedEx ? There was no road test for me at all, but I’m sure I would have passed. I’m a pretty good driver
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly not even FedEx? They let you drive the p1200 with no training?
Yup lol they just throw you in there
I work for Amazon delivery doing 230 packages and 110 stops each days I'm saying f this I'm going to drive school but next month
Haha getting that cdl!? 😁😁
Man I worked at FedEx it was hell bro 5 days a week 7 am get home at 8 pm
Where did you apply for Amazon delivery?
On Indeed
Amazon is starting to pay more than FedEx Ground and express in my area. Amazon makes a lot more money than fedex ground which means Amazon contractors will be able to offer higher pay.
I saw this video because I was offered positions at both of these companies. I chose FedEx because the pay was higher and it was hourly, which gets around one of your main gripes with FedEx that they don't pay you hourly.
Yeah some pay hourly, some pay by the package, some pay by the day. Glad you got a good one! Congrats!
Same here just offered both positions, and I chose FedEx Ground , honestly that wasn’t the best choice it’s really a heavy work , u gotta deal with those BIG boxes and just run to get everything delivered , gotta sort and organize ur truck cause the guys don’t do a great job
I don’t recommend it at all , Go for Amazon !
Neither ups all the way
I’ll prefer Amazon
Indeed! On my way back baby!
Why ?
Don’t blame you, I’m there now.
Amazon has the highest turnover rate amongst the the two for a reason
I don’t know why you would pick either
I’ve been delivering for amazon for 5 years now and fedex looks better. Bc Amazon is doing too much with this 200 stops/300 packages a day bullshit👎🏽👎🏽
I just interviewed for FedEx they said base pay 750$ a week then if you work 6 days it’s 950 a week what y’all think ?
Pretty good 👍
I assume your leaving FedEx Ground. If you are, good for you that work load is insane.
Lmao I know!!! It’s so dumb! Today I had no dolly and had to take a 150 lbs package to the door... was a struggle ! Lmao 😓
You should have left it for freight to take. I learned my lesson lol 150lbs is a two man lift!
I worked for two Amazon DSPs in the same area and wow do they operate different... Your Amazon experience depends on your DSP/owner!!!
I could of worked for fed ex or USPS but I don't see the longevity in those companies compared to Amazon. UPS has too much senortity and bullshit waiting to make it worth it in my area although I love unions....
I'm holding out on Amazon cus I know daddy bezos will own the world. ...also tho no one is talking this ...Walmart who I work for as a independent contractor like Instacart or flex. They want to do what amazon is doing ..I'm holding out on the companies that actually make the most money in the long run like Amazon and walmart. I see people getting upset and unionizing like ups and why I hold out for those two employers.
I like fedex more because it's more dependent on when you finish and don't ask me to help other people finish their deliveries.
Most days I finished at 12 and earned about 30 an hour for the day
However that pick up thing you mentioned is probably the only con about working at fedex!! I hate when I finish all my deliveries and Im forced to come home at a later time because of the pick up window.
As for the heavy boxes, I enjoy carrying heavy items because it keeps me fit and running to stops because I'm into fitness, but that's just my take on it.
Hey man, I appreciate your perspective!! Definitely! Yeah lol I was like heck nah!! I remember the heaviest thing I had to deliver was 200 lbs with no dolly! Was like a bed frame. Was awful lol but If you like it there is not a single thing wrong with that.
Yeah but FedEx ground does the same thing with Amazon tho. This one contractor I use to work for, I would finish by like 12 or 1 and I still had to help other drivers.
And I would always gotta load my own packages to my box truck
I got paid 125 a day and still didn’t get my full pay
I was offered 16 hourly rate to deliver for FedEx Ground, I currently make 15 for an Amazon DSP
So u work for both amazon and FedEx?
No. Lol I left that fedex life ! Was NOT for me lol I’d rather do Amazon.
so i get paid here in indiana 25 an hour and its a garanteed 8 hours and decent size boxes
25 an hour!? That’s nice ! 😲😲😲
What company and location lbs interested
BTW you have great hair😁
Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗
Pretty clear which one is better😂😂
Amazon isn't better I can tell this for a fact that I getting over 200 stops and 486 packages and most stops have more then 1 location to drop off so it is over 200 stops.
ma brother i had my interview today and all went well so my question here is since i have to go to lab to do a drug test but i forgot to ask them if i have to pay for it or will they do it i called them but no answwer so i decided to ask u please let me know and thanks ma brother
The dsp are the people who pay for the drug test. 😁
@@IAmTheJuanAndOnly gotcha just wanted to make sure since they gave me a form that the drug tester will fill out I thought I had pay since I’m the one that got it go to the lab and do it thanks man
Can’t tell if he’s Indian or hispanic?
Don’t work for neither. The pay is shit on both
Lol 😂
That’s weird I’m a FedEx driver and where I work we get paid by stops not by day and I average 180 stops a day
I’ve heard you can get paid by package as well. I guess every contractor is different.
I get paid a base n by stop after a certain threshold
Does that make it better? 😲😲😲 worth it in your opinion?
I think FedEx is a better option.
I start today can you tell me why and I'm leaving Amazon for FedEx ground cause the stops suck. 200 stops with 6 locations in 1 stop is more then 200 stops
You work for Blue Nova?
Yuh
I’ve seen at my amazon warehouse some of those bigger delivery trucks like fedex. When did you start with fedex?
I’ve seen them too! Trust me they still aren’t as big as fedex ones. And I started Monday! Haha regret it!
Those amazon trucks, does those drivers get better pay? Lol
I think by like a dollar or something lol. The step up. But the FedEx size ones... hmmmm. Not sure yet. Haven’t heard much about them
IAmTheJuanAndOnly oh okay I was just wondering. I worked for FedEx express as a driver. I get paid $24 an hour
Heard fedex express is way better than ground 😂 never doing ground again!
