    Package handling is a pain also but props to the drivers who work in almost any conditions to get our stuff delivered !

    I feel your pain. Worked at UPS for over 40 years in MA. Hated winter. Punched out after 10-12 hours every day. Now retired in Florida and enjoying the warmth and sunshine. Thank God for the Teamster Union because I’m 60 and enjoying every minute. That’s what unions do for you.

    As a Fedex package handler this is so cool watching what you guys do after we load your trucks. Stay safe.
  • @RBLong0928
    I so very much appreciated these workers. I know it's not a walk in the park. THANK YOU!
  • You never realize how demanding this job is until you get a behind the scenes. I appreciate you all for your work

    I work for Amazon and average around 160-180 stops regularly and I work four days a week and 10hrs I get paid for the 10 hrs but whenever I finish my route I can go back to the warehouse clock out then go home but some people really don’t know the amount of preparation and hustle it takes to get done at a timely manner and still make good deliveries just wanted to say happy holidays and keep grinding till you get where you want to be in life

    I really just watched a 10 minute video of a guy delivering FedEx packages. I’m not gonna lie I was very entertained though
  • I know it's probably tough but it looks so chill to drive around in your own truck, blast some music(when the radio works) and the scenery looks absolutely beautiful with snow

    I really appreciate the year I spent at FedEx in Cincinnati. The amount of deliveries I did during the height of the pandemic was nuts!
  • @Davidxll
    Thank you for delivering our packages to us, we really do appreciate what you do!!

    Worked at FedEx Freight for 14 years so I can relate to the winter conditions, not fun at all! FedEx as a company has really gone downhill in the last 3-5 years and the OT was off the charts. 4 hours OT/daily for months on end made me quit and give up all the years of seniority and pay I accumulated. Loved the pay, HATED the job. Mad respect to you who posted this video and all that worked for that company or still do. FEDUP for life!

    Yup typical winter in Minnesota. I know your pain dude, I work outside at Cub. Gotta love the -10 degree days. Just a suggestion if you can use mittens its literally night and day dude. Having your fingers together warms them up very quickly. Even if you can only wear them driving you'll notice a HUGE difference in how fast your hands warm back up. Also merino wool is amazing.
  • @MrDavidchuck
    this is one of those videos, if not channels, on YouTube you just genuinely gotta appreciate. The heavy amount of authenticity is easily felt from it. Thank you 💪🏾

    I like how that guy was talking shit mechanics get pissed when they have to work most of the time they like to get paid when everything is perfect🤣😅😂🤣😂
  • I am surprised people don’t know about Stylus pointers for touch screens. They have a rubber tip. These have been available for many years. You can use them wearing gloves on your phone or any touch screen computer. For instance at the touch screen fuel pumps in subzero temperatures.

    Been delivering Ground for a few months now. Found myself laughing at all the common things between every FedEx truck. Can't hit the road without a Chewy, package you need is under everything else, random tape stuck everywhere, door handle doesn't work easily, etc.
  • I worked at this terminal for about a year as a package handler, best job I've ever had. Almost switched to driver but decided not to. Kinda regret it. Still, loading the trucks was fun (until peak) and I tried my best to keep it in order and somewhat organized. I worked on the 100 belt usually, loading 153-165, but I went over and did 300 a couple times. Other times I would run a stray package or IC over or just come by to talk to a friend. You legitimately had one of the worst and hardest belts. Depending on when you worked there I may have loaded your truck once or twice. Thanks for the cool video.
  • "that's what happens when you listen to your modern music" dude its sub zero out lmao good video man

    I worked out in the weather most of my 33 year work life. Some things I learned. Do not let your head feet or hands get cold before you use insulated hat gloves and boots. Once they are cold, it is far harder to warm them up. Layered clothing works best if sized to provide an air gap between layers. The best thermal underwear is found at hunting supply stores, like Cabellas, and always get the polar weight version. They are not too much heavier, yet provide much more warmth and wicking of moisture from the body. Nothing beats a good one piece coverall from Carhardt. Expensive but worth every penny. I dressed every cold day as follows. Regular underwear or jockies to prevent chaffing. Polar grade thermal bottoms and top. Large light weight sweats to absorb sweat. Jeans or uniform sized to be baggy. Then coveralls when you are ready to start. Layers work for the feet too. Boots should be thermal and a cork layer on the bottom helps. Layers oif gloves helo. Shooter gloves will have fold down finger tips for working without exposing your whole hand. I did land surveying and had to use bare fingers to make fine adjustments to an instrument. It works..
