About FedEx Express Pickup Operations
Every afternoon across the country, FedEx Express pickup couriers fan out to collect outbound shipments from thousands of business accounts before the daily sort cutoff. These scheduled and on-call pickups feed the evening sort operation that connects to the overnight air network — making the pickup courier one of the most time-critical roles in the FedEx Express system. Every package collected on time means a customer's overnight commitment is met; every missed pickup means a broken promise.
Position Overview
FedEx Express is hiring Pickup Couriers to execute afternoon and evening collection routes from commercial business accounts. You will drive a company-provided vehicle on a condensed, time-sensitive route collecting outbound priority and international shipments, returning all collected freight to the station before the sort cutoff deadline. This role operates during afternoon and early evening hours.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute scheduled pickup stops at commercial accounts collecting outbound FedEx Express priority and international shipments.
- Respond to on-call pickup dispatches throughout the afternoon, integrating new stops into your active route efficiently.
