About FedEx Express Ground Feeder Network
Not every FedEx Express shipment travels by air. The FedEx Express ground feeder network uses tractor-trailers to move freight between nearby stations and hub airports on routes where driving is faster or more cost-effective than flying. Feeder drivers are the ground link that connects smaller outlying stations to major sort facilities, ensuring packages from every community — no matter how remote — plug seamlessly into the overnight air network on time.
Position Overview
FedEx Express is hiring Feeder Drivers with a Class A CDL to transport freight containers between local Express stations and hub airport sort facilities. You will pull loaded trailers on scheduled runs timed precisely to meet aircraft departure and sort cutoff deadlines. Most feeder routes are short-haul round trips completed within a single shift with home-daily scheduling.
Key Responsibilities
- Transport loaded freight containers between FedEx Express stations and hub airport facilities on time-critical scheduled runs.
- Arrive at hub dock doors within precise time windows to meet inbound sort or outbound aircraft loading deadlines.
- Couple and uncouple tractor-trailer combinations at multiple station and hub dock locations each shift.
- Conduct DOT-compliant pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections on assigned tractor and trailer equipment.
- Communicate with station dispatch and hub operations regarding timing adjustments, volume changes, and equipment swaps.
Qualifications & Benefits
Must be 21+ with a valid Class A CDL and minimum 12 months tractor-trailer driving experience. Clean MVR and CSA record required. Must pass DOT physical, drug screen, and background check. FedEx Express feeder drivers earn competitive hourly pay, home every day, consistent shift schedules, full medical/dental/vision, pension, 401(k), flight benefits, and paid vacation.
