GroundCloud + FleetWage
Import GroundCloud time card exports into FleetWage to automatically match driver hours with per-stop pay calculations.
Overview
GroundCloud is one of the most popular route management and time tracking tools used by FedEx P&D contractors. FleetWage imports GroundCloud time card exports during payroll processing, automatically matching driver hours to your payroll calculations. No manual hour entry needed.
GroundCloud has become a near-default operations platform for FedEx Ground and Home Delivery contractors because it bundles route management, vehicle telematics, driver tracking, and time keeping into a single app. The result is rich operational data — but that data has to land in payroll for it to translate into accurate paychecks. FleetWage imports GroundCloud time cards directly, so the hours your drivers actually clocked become the hours they get paid for.
FleetWage matches GroundCloud time entries to drivers by name and FedEx ID, surfaces any unmatched entries for a quick review, and feeds the resulting hours straight into the per-stop pay calculation. There's no copy-and-paste, no spreadsheet reconciliation, and no second source of truth for time data.

Why GroundCloud Matters for FedEx ISP Contractors
FedEx P&D contractors live and die by accurate hours. Pay a driver too few hours and you've got a complaint by Monday morning. Pay too many and overtime liability creeps up across the fleet without anyone noticing until the quarter closes. GroundCloud captures the time data; FleetWage uses it. For multi-CSA operations especially, the GroundCloud-FleetWage pairing eliminates a class of errors that's hard to catch: drivers who switch routes mid-week and end up coded to the wrong CSA in payroll. Because FleetWage pulls station and CSA assignment from GroundCloud, the right hours land in the right CSA's payroll without anyone having to remember to update them.

Common Use Cases
How FedEx ISP contractors use FleetWage with GroundCloud every week.
Multi-CSA operators using GroundCloud across stations
GroundCloud's per-station export plus FleetWage's multi-station upload means each CSA's hours import into its own payroll cleanly, even when drivers shift between stations during the week.
Fleets that want overtime visibility before payroll closes
FleetWage projects overtime liability based on imported GroundCloud hours, so you see the OT exposure before you commit the run — not after the checks have issued.
ISPs using GroundCloud's safety scorecards
Pair GroundCloud's RYDE/safety data with FleetWage's bonus engine to automatically apply or withhold safety bonuses based on the score the system already records.
Best Practices & Tips
Advice from FedEx ISP contractors who use FleetWage with GroundCloud.
- Make sure FedEx IDs in GroundCloud match the FedEx IDs in FleetWage exactly. Mismatches are the most common cause of unmatched time entries on import.
- Export GroundCloud time cards at the same point in your weekly close every time — typically Saturday after the last route is back. Earlier exports miss late stops; later exports delay payroll.
- If you operate multiple stations, export and upload one file per station. Combining stations into a single file works but makes troubleshooting harder if something doesn't import.
- Spot-check the first week of imports against the GroundCloud raw data to confirm matching is correct. After that, the import becomes a one-click step you can trust.
