COVID 19
COVID-19 - Exemptions to the L10 GDT program for new drivers per FedEx (until further notice):
No pre-qualification drug test or physical required for less than 10,001 lbs vehicles (new drivers)
Live route training waved for Graduated Qualification L10 program until further notice (new drivers)
Note: As a reminder, the service provider is responsible for ensuring its drivers operate only vehicles they are qualified to drive.
The takeaway on the lifting of the requirements for the L10 program. (This is TEMPORARY and may change at any time per FedEx):
Drivers can drive sooner for the CSP's
Drivers can continue to drive vehicles less than 10,001 lbs.
Info for these TEMPORARY suspensions of requirements per FedEx:
In an ongoing effort to follow social distancing guidelines, changes to the Graduated Qualifications (GQ) – Level 10 (L10) program (<10,001 lbs., non-commercial weight) are made until further notice. This means neither a road test nor observed hours are required to qualify for L10. In addition, a valid DOT physical and medical examiner's certificate and drug screen are suspended. However, a valid MVR and qualified L10 certificate of online completion are still conditions that must be satisfied to qualify under L10. These changes apply only to the L10 program and are temporary under the circumstances. All other GQ conditions remain the same.
