About FedEx Express Pre-Dawn Sort Operations
After the overnight hub sort finishes processing inbound air freight, the early morning sort at local Express stations takes over. Packages arrive on feeder trucks from the hub and must be broken down, scanned, and loaded into individual courier delivery vehicles before drivers depart for their first stops. Early morning sort handlers are the last link between the air network and the customer's doorstep — their speed and accuracy directly determine whether every overnight commitment is met.

FedEx Express is hiring Early Morning Sort Handlers for the pre-dawn station sort at local Express facilities. Working approximately 3:00 AM to 8:00 AM, you will unload inbound feeder trucks, sort packages by courier route, and load individual delivery vehicles in correct stop sequence so drivers can depart on schedule. This shift finishes before most daytime jobs begin.

- Unload inbound feeder trailers arriving from the hub, transferring packages to the station sort area.
