About FedEx Freight Regional Routing
FedEx Freight multi-stop route drivers bridge the gap between single-market local P&D and overnight linehaul by covering extended territories that span adjacent metro areas and surrounding rural commercial zones. These routes reach customers that fall outside the standard local radius but do not require overnight travel — making the multi-stop route driver one of the most versatile positions in the FedEx Freight fleet with excellent weekly earnings and consistent home time.
Position Overview
FedEx Freight is hiring Multi-Stop Route Drivers with a Class A CDL for extended commercial delivery and pickup routes covering a 150-to-350 mile operating radius. You will service accounts across multiple counties or adjacent metro areas in a single operating day, returning to the home service center each evening. Routes are assigned through a seniority-based bid system.
Key Responsibilities
- Cover an extended daily route with 8–18 commercial stops spread across a multi-county or multi-metro territory.
- Manage appointment-based deliveries and pickups at facilities with strict receiving windows and dock scheduling.
- Plan efficient stop sequences to minimize deadhead miles while maintaining all scheduled delivery commitments.
- Secure mixed freight loads using load bars, straps, and decking to prevent shifting across extended driving segments.
- Complete all manifests, BOLs, and delivery documentation accurately across a high stop-count route.
Qualifications & Benefits
Must be 21+ with a valid Class A CDL and minimum 12 months commercial driving experience. Hazmat endorsement preferred for routes servicing chemical and industrial accounts. Clean MVR and CSA record required. FedEx Freight offers competitive multi-stop route pay combining hourly and per-stop components, home every night, full benefits, pension plan, 401(k) match, and consistent weekly schedules.
