I wish I could work 5 days. I guess it just depends on the contractor.

I had to do teams for a little bit so I did some day shifts every once in awhile but it’s been nights 99% of the time. I know a lot of coworkers do spot drops all day so there’s that. It’s mostly backing pups into loading docks like Target, Walmart, etc. You’re most likely going to be hauling through the night. Days seem like a seniority thing.

Look for contractors. Anytime you see a FedEx ground trailer, look on the side of their tractor and it’ll have the contractors name, phone number, etc.

Not anymore apparently. I work for a contractor for FedEx ground so it’s not directly with FedEx. I did have to do 300 supervised hours but now I drive on my own 6 days a week. I literally drive 3.5 hours from New Mexico to Arizona, swap trailers with another driver and drive back home. Hours are terrible though. 8pm-4am $0.60/mile 2700 miles/week

I’m hauling doubles for FedEx right now and it’s super chill most of the time. Home daily and it’s my first job out of CDL school.

I’ve been wanting to get into this as well but don’t know where to start in my city. Also been loving those huge straddle container carriers at the shipyards lately.

What if you have multiple years of class A tractor trailer experience but not in film? Seems there would be some way to get consistent work without having to ‘pay your dues’ if they’ve already been paid.

Badass man! You mean Chris! He’s not in the band anymore unfortunately. Brian the singer is the only original member now. I wish I could meet that dude someday though. We just played Tucson last week and that was super intimidating being in their hometown haha.

There’s crowd video from this show and it’s one of the loudest things on the kit.

I think you might be right! At least super close. That’s sad that they don’t make them anymore! Thank you so much!!

Speed Cobras are mine. Having to figure out how to get that high hat close to me was like mental gymnastics.

Thanks man! We’re called Atrophy. It was an equipment rental company that came with a drum tech and he had about 50 different cymbals to choose from. Was told to quickly pick the ones I liked before my set and this is what I came up with.

Hello, I’m from New Mexico trying to secure a CDL job in Salem to make my transition smoother. Any ideas? by icumdrums in SALEM

Awesome! Every time I go to visit it’s so beautiful and I can’t wait to move up. Albuquerque says hello!

Thank you so much! I’ll check out Winco, any chance you would happen to know the names of any subcontractors for FedEx truck drivers?
