FedEx Ground
Moon Township, PA · Founded 1985 · 90,000+ vehicles (ISP contractor model) · 48 states, Canada
Company Overview
FedEx Ground operates using an Independent Service Provider (ISP) contractor model for package delivery, where independent business owners contract with FedEx to deliver packages in defined territories. FedEx Ground also operates a linehaul network using both contracted carriers and company tractor-trailers to move freight between sorting facilities. Delivery drivers are employees of ISPs, not FedEx directly, which means pay, benefits, and working conditions vary by contractor. Linehaul drivers can earn competitive per-mile rates hauling FedEx trailers between hubs.
