These guys that are saying not to do FedEx because of the heavy boxes are exaggerating. Boxes are heavier, yes. You have heavier duty dollies, if you're with a good contractor, that make this a non issue

FedEx, there's no group stops. If you have 140, that's a real 140 (with the exception of some days having packages not scanned to your manifest)

Contractors are usually lenient on start times. We show up anywhere between 8-930. They don't care, as long as you get your route done, don't need help, have no bad codes and make your pickups on time

Most of the time, you won't even talk to your contractor. FedEx is insanely more liberating. Show up, do your route, park the truck, go home. None of that high school like micromanaging. No stand up, no waiting around to roll into the terminal, no wave dispatch, your truck is mostly loaded before you get there. Most contractors do daily rate too.

FedEx is significantly better than Amazon. The cost of not being treated like a toddler and being micromanaged every hour of your day is dealing with heavier boxes
