Our Benefits
FedEx Freight believes that its success and growth are dependent on having highly skilled and motivated employees. We are committed to providing exceptional education, healthcare, and retirement benefits, in addition to a work environment where employees reach their highest potential.
Healthcare + Retirement
FedEx Freight offers healthcare and retirement plans that are highly competitive in the LTL industry. Unions may promise you that they can get you different healthcare or retirement plans, but they cannot make that guarantee. All of the four locations that voted unionize at FedEx Freight remain on the same healthcare and retirement plans as other FedEx Freight team members.
During negotiations in East Philadelphia, the Teamsters proposed that FedEx Freight drivers be moved from the FedEx Freight pension plan to a Teamster plan so underfunded that it was flagged as “endangered” by the U.S. Department of Labor.
