Why We Built Fleet Wage: Solving the Payroll Headache for FedEx Contractors

Running a FedEx P&D operation isn’t easy. From managing routes, drivers, and trucks to keeping up with charge statements and payroll — contractors wear multiple hats every single day. When you’re in the trenches, every minute counts. But until recently, one of the most time-consuming tasks has gone largely unsolved: weekly payroll calculations.

We started our journey in 2013 with just one truck — an owner-operator running daily routes like many of you. Over the years, we scaled our operation to 125 trucks across 6 terminals, navigating every challenge this business throws at you.

As our business grew, so did the complexity. Manually tracking stops, bonuses, PTO, fuel charges, and route adjustments across multiple spreadsheets became a full-time job. Every week, we’d spend hours calculating payroll — constantly double-checking numbers and hoping nothing slipped through the cracks.

We knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why we built Fleet Wage — a platform designed by contractors, for contractors.

Fleet Wage is:
✅ Purpose-built for FedEx P&D operations
✅ Able to process Charge Statements, WSWs, and payroll inputs automatically
✅ Capable of calculating per-stop wages, bonuses, and deductions in seconds
✅ Designed to track fuel charges, PTO, and employee history with zero guesswork
✅ Easy to use and easy to scale as your business grows

Our mission is simple: to give FedEx contractors back their time and peace of mind — by automating what used to take hours every single week.

We didn’t build this because we saw a market opportunity. We built it because we lived the frustration — and we knew there had to be a smarter way to run payroll in this business.
