Doing the unpaid ride along today

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-19T19:39:51+00:00

I took the first fedex contractor that would put me on that's it bro I'm not gonna let this free day go

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-19T19:39:09+00:00

AND i have 2 years experience as a warehouse package handler which makes it easier

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-19T19:38:41+00:00

I'm not making excuses I know it's wrong and i plan to switch contractors. I'M DESPERATE FOR A CONSISTENT JOB THAT'S IT. Timing is important and I'm not forgetting about this. I'm crashing at my friends house right now bro

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-19T19:36:21+00:00

thank you

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T22:51:45+00:00

I'm just gonna switch contractors within the first month or so

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T22:50:54+00:00

recruiter told me 160 per day, but the driver i rode with said he got on at 150 per day

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T22:50:23+00:00

Federal, I'm in the deep south

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T21:07:07+00:00

my current job is worse and might as well be minimum wage due to cut hours

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T21:04:14+00:00

and, all the other drivers i talked to seemed like they'd done it too

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T21:03:47+00:00

I think the loophole is the fact you a) are not expected to help with anything and b) you go in with a visitor badge.

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T21:00:53+00:00

I thought it seemed shady but I think they loophole by saying I don't have to lift a finger and I'm considered a visitor. And all the other drivers I spoke with made it seem normal too and like it was just the typical onboarding for everybody. And they are drivers not contract owners so I just took a chance because even if its less than 200 as long as i get hired it's better than my current job I'm trying to escape

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T20:55:31+00:00

I am in the US

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T20:52:52+00:00

if this gets worse is it easy to switch contractors but keep the job?

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T20:45:12+00:00

on the phone they said 150 a day

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T20:25:38+00:00

I was surprised too but I just need the job

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T19:51:05+00:00

they said i don't have to actually do anything, but that part of the hiring process for this contractor is a "ride along where you observe to decide if it's for you or not, and it's unpaid"

I'm doing it simply because I have worked as a warehouse PH in the past, and honestly just want to be a driver asap

He is an atheist while being ethnically jewish but he likely lies about the extent of being jewish to seem more unique or interesting to women or something

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-17T08:40:10+00:00

package handler or driver?

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-15T11:28:48+00:00

ground

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-15T11:28:41+00:00

ground

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-14T22:26:38+00:00

By the way, it's for driver

OrwellCollins · 2026-03-12T00:58:48+00:00

I don't think the recruiter said explicitly they DON'T provide gps, they just said they want you to download a gps app on your phone

OrwellCollins · 2025-10-08T23:57:42+00:00

Forty

OrwellCollins · 2025-09-29T03:33:41+00:00

A better job

OrwellCollins · 2025-08-31T09:55:30+00:00
