job allows you to work mostly independently
minimal supervision
work outside
Cons
Required to answer to Fedex for areas that are not their responsibility. you are supposedly an independent contractor but are often treatd as an employee.
good pay and bonus structure. there is room for advancement by adding additional routes and supplementals. management is helpful in assisting you with needs
Cons
fedex can pull your contract if they feel you are not doing the job up to par. and zero benefits
It does fill a certain niche for someone who wishes to do this type of work while offering some lattitude in scheduling
Cons
Although Contractors are considered independent, almost every aspect of what they do is governed by FedEx to include:
Wearing company uniforms, purchasing trucks with FedEx branding, dictating the manner and means of how the job will be performed. Workload is subject to the whims of Management. You are pretty much an employee with no benefits
