Flexible / Owner-Operator Driving at FedEx Freight
FedEx Freight is the LTL division of FedEx Corporation and one of the largest LTL carriers in North America. The company offers local and regional driving positions with the backing of one of the world's most recognized brands.
Owner-operators and independent contractors set their own schedules. You decide when to drive, when to go home, and which loads to accept. This freedom comes at the cost of self-employment responsibilities: you handle your own insurance, maintenance, fuel, taxes, and load booking. Schedule flexibility is the primary reason many experienced drivers go independent.
