They can provide you both with more information and answer any questions.

    Yes! We encourage you to bring along your pets, we know your pets are like family and we love our pets too! There is a $250.00 deposit per pet with a maximum of $500.00. Also a max of 3 pets in the truck. #hyfieldfurbabies
  • Can I have non-CDL passengers with me while over-the-road?
    Yes. FedEx Custom Critical does allow a non-CDL passenger to ride along in the truck. However, FedEx policy is only two bodies are allowed in the truck, meaning you would have to be a solo driver with a non-CDL passenger. Since we do not work with solo drivers, and all of our trucks are for teams, you would not be able to have a non-CDL passenger in the truck.
  • Are the loads forced dispatched?
    No, you can choose which loads you wish to take.
  • Were you recently not approved by one of the carriers FedEx Custom Critical or Panther Premium Logistics?
