About FedEx Ground Jobs for 18 Year Olds

FedEx Ground is one of the best first employers for individuals who just turned 18. Unlike many logistics companies that require applicants to be 21, FedEx Ground hires at 18 with no experience, no degree, and no CDL — putting young adults on the payroll immediately with paid training, weekly paychecks, and tuition assistance that can fund college from the very first day of employment. For 18-year-olds deciding between college, trade school, or entering the workforce, FedEx Ground offers a way to do all three simultaneously.

Position Overview

FedEx Ground is specifically hiring 18-year-old applicants for Package Handler positions at hub and station facilities. If you just graduated high school, just turned 18, or are simply entering the workforce for the first time, FedEx Ground will train you completely — no experience, resume, or references required. Multiple shift options allow you to work around class schedules or other obligations.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete paid new-hire orientation learning safety standards, facility layout, and scanning equipment operation.
• Sort packages on conveyor systems by destination zip code using barcode scanners and visual sort charts.
• Load and unload packages from delivery vehicles and feeder trailers during your assigned sort shift.
• Build physical work capacity and professional habits under guidance from experienced trainers and supervisors.
• Access tuition assistance from your first day to fund college, community college, or trade school while you work.

Qualifications & Benefits

Must be exactly 18+ years of age. No work history, resume, degree, GED, or references required — FedEx Ground hires based on willingness to show up and work hard. Must lift up to 75 lbs. FedEx Ground offers competitive starting pay, weekly paychecks, immediate tuition assistance up to $5,250/year, multiple shift options including early morning, twilight, and overnight, and a career ladder that has taken thousands of 18-year-old new hires into management and beyond.
