Job description

Now Hiring FedEx Delivery Drivers — Full-Time & Part-Time

We are looking for dependable, hard-working delivery drivers to join our FedEx route team.

This is a great fit for someone with previous driving, delivery, warehouse, moving, landscaping, construction, or route experience who likes staying active and working independently. You will be on the road, managing your own route, making residential and business deliveries, and completing pickups throughout the day.

This is not a desk job. Drivers should be comfortable working in all weather conditions, lifting packages, getting in and out of the vehicle throughout the day, and keeping a steady pace.

What We Offer

Weekly pay
Paid training
Full-time and part-time positions available
Consistent year-round work
Company vehicle provided
Opportunity to drive cargo vans and step vans
Independent work environment

Schedule

Typical schedule is 5 days per week.
Weekend availability is strongly preferred, especially at least one weekend day.

Job Responsibilities

Deliver and pick up packages on an assigned FedEx route
Safely operate a company cargo van or step van
Load, organize, and manage packages for the day
Use a handheld scanner to complete stops
Handle residential and business deliveries and pickups
Provide professional service to customers
Work at a steady, efficient pace throughout the route

Requirements

Must be 21 years of age or older
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Ability to pass a background check, drug screen, and DOT physical
Able to lift packages up to 150 lbs
Must be dependable, punctual, and safety-focused
Previous delivery, box truck, step van, route, warehouse, or physical labor experience is a plus, but not required

We are looking for drivers who take pride in their work, can handle a physically active day, and want consistent year-round employment with a reliable team.
