Step by Step..
Driver's Packet did not get sent out on Friday like it was supposed to. Spoke with the FedEx contact and they shipped it out today. So I will have the package in hand tomorrow morning. According to the tracking, the package is still in Canton, Ohio. Once the packet is in hand, I have a lot of paperwork filling out to do, then to ship it back. Once that is done and processed, I will have a date when my training in Ohio will be and the start of my new adventure.

DMV Background cleared
Got the word Friday night that my DMV background was cleared by FedEx. Yes, I will be a FedEx driver, kinda. I am working for an independent company that sub-contracts to FedEx for Critical deliveries. Not sure of the specifics, but I am going to find out as they are now overnight sending me a Drivers Packet.
Soon I will know when my start date is for training/orientation and then I will get my first load to deliver.

It is official
I have just finished filling out and submitting a job application for a driving position within FedEx as a subcontractor. My current job is good til the 18th of June, if all goes well, there will be a seamless transition between one job and another with little downtime of funds.
My hope and wish is that this job will allow me the freedom to make money, visit people whom I care about and satisfy my wanderlust.
I will keep posting updates as I get them.
