Not to discourage you, but being a solo driver with a big outfit will be challengeing. Big outfits are very impersonal and are only concerned about their statistics regarding time to P/U and DEL. With long runs, they tend to overlook you, in favor of a team, even though you could legally log the distance. If your committed to FedEX, I would talk with as many drivers as possible, to learn everything you can about their system.
Good Luck, Bret
