I may be able to answer some of your questions regarding the Fed Ex Driver Apprentice program as I will be starting it in a week or two. Im in California and the particular terminal I will be working from is non-Union. Starting pay while in the program is 21.25/hr. After4-5 weeks of training(I have my Class A license already, just no experience) and once I become a full time P&D driver pay goes to 23.43/hr. In time pay will top out at around 26.50. from what I understand there is more money to be made driving linehaul, but those positions are usually taken by the more senior drivers. I have a long time friend that has worked for Fed Ex for a long time and has always been happy there. He has done everything for them(dockworker,driver,dispatch,and management) and has been promoted several times. Also if u get into the program u will need to stay with the company for a year or you will be required to pay them back for training. There is a percentage you have to pay back if you are not there a year. I hope this helps and good luck to you.
