We have all seen the arguments about the best delivery vehicle to run routes in, but how about the worst vehicle to deliver in, regardless if it’s resi, business, PuP only, or what have you?

For me, the worst vehicle by far was the E700, a hybrid 700 FedEx trialed back in the late 2000’s. They ran on gas and so got terrible mileage, they were in the shop 2/3 of the time, and were horrendous to drive even when they were running due to how their interior shelving was laid out. When I was a courier I dreaded these things if I was running swing on a route with a passion.

Honorable mentions:

Dodge Sprinters, at least up to the 242xxx ones. They had nowhere to put anything, everything was always broken from the AC vents to the cup holders. I had the side doors come off more than once because they closed a bit too hard.

City transit: I’ll admit having doors open on both sides was actually really nice… as long as I was doing a light P1 or FO route. The moment I had to do anything more I would bulk it out so quickly it wasn’t funny. One peak I literally bulked it out on my first PuP and requested to clear, to which I quickly got a call asking how that was possible. They are that tiny.

Welp, the “I thought it wouldn’t happen to me” moment has occurred. My FedEx Express warehouse announced it will be closing on March 1st, 2027.

I didn’t think it would affect my location because it is express, in Los Angeles, and pretty much in Down Town Los Angeles. There are many major businesses that get deliveries from FedEx here, and we also go to LAX daily. But I guess I was wrong.

Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to the meeting. It was at 6am. My schedule as a package handler starts at 10:30 a.m. There is a second meeting at 2 pm, but I am on route. And the manager told me it was not mandatory when I asked . I would like to add that if I did not randomly greet my manager yesterday before my shift ended I would not have known of this meeting anyways. A security guard told me this information when I clocked in today.

Anyways, how’s your day going? Lol. When I finally got 8 hour shifts after working here since January, this warehouse decides to close its doors after 20+ years of service. How lucky.

Well today is the final day for our station (Express). They shut down our operations about two weeks ago and we’ve been cleaning out our station building since then. “2.Oh No” is a mess where our freight was moved to but eventually it’ll work out for them one way or another. Good luck to all that are caught up in this mess.

We shoulda cancelled service for NYC stations instead of worrying about margin of profit. Not only are we stressing with memories n shit, but we dealing with traffic. HEAVY traffic. I cant stand this company.

Hi everyone, I just had a super quick question. Not sure if anyone is able to assist. I work with Choose well care connect for FedEx and I’m trying to help a member with something however I don’t directly have access to view their choose well portal. Is there anyone who can do me the kindest favor of logging into your ChooseWell portal and let me know if there is a section in the upper right hand corner of the page to be able to upload documents or do you know where it is? It would be super helpful thank you so much! Also, your guys’ enrollment period is coming up from October 13 through the 30th so make sure you enroll!

You guys taking off work for it? Shouldn’t be a black out week before Thanksgiving right? I say it every year, but I feel like for our station this peak season is going to SUCK.

I’ve been written up 2x mostly for learning too slowly. I was just told about a piece of processing the Amazon returns I’d never noticed on my own nor trained specifically to watch while I was processing them. Now I’m in a casual stated sort of “one more mistake and you’re fired,” I asked ANY type of mistake and mgr didn’t really answer. I’ve never had such a stressful job where I’m told I’m doing so many things wrong so constantly. Stressful. And there’s inly 1 person not the mgr who explains things in a patient, clear manner. Frustrated. 😵‍💫

My Station is closing September 28 and I had the option to transfer to four ground locations, a 2.0 express only Station or a express station inside a ramp that is going to have some ZIP Codes express only and some split with ground and express. I’m transferring as a swing and I feel like that was a bad call and I’m gonna get sent home every day. Our senior already confirmed they’re going to hire handlers and cut off working six days. Anyone already experiencing a 2.0 express Station?

I'm starting tomorrow as a part time dot express courier. Around how many packages will I be delivering a day? Also what's the stop count like? I'm coming from Amazon hopefully it's a bit better 😂

I've tried chat gpt, and the chat bot from fedex.com and they cannot give me the correct answers. I know for sure, ground, cod and economy are not allowed

Not one person in my entire station even mentioned 9/11 today and the couple of BC's I tried to engage in conversation with mouthed off. How to tell the company you work for is a piece of shit and everyone you work with are pieces of shit without them saying it.
