Our Benefits
FedEx Freight believes that its success and growth are dependent on having highly skilled and motivated employees. As a result, FedEx Freight has always provided competitive pay and benefits, including overtime not available at other carriers, incentive compensation up to 4.5% of eligible earnings, a retirement savings plan with company match up to 8%, and highly competitive healthcare plans. Since the spin-off from FedEx Corporation establishing FedEx Freight as an independent, publicly traded company, FedEx Freight has only sharpened its team-first focus, adding an employee stock purchase plan with company match up to $3,000 a year. FedEx Freight team members work hard to provide excellent customer service, which creates the revenue that allows the company to invest in its team members by providing these and other benefits. This is Team-Customer-Profit in action.
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 to unionize at FedEx Freight remained 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.
