The Business
FedEx Ground routes are independently owned delivery businesses that operate under the FedEx brand. You buy an existing route (or multiple routes) and hire drivers to deliver packages within your territory. Route prices range from $100K-500K based on package volume and territory size. Revenue is per-package and per-stop, providing daily recurring income. Multi-route operators can generate $500K-2M+ in annual revenue.
How to Start
Find routes for sale through FedEx broker networks, BizBuySell, or direct from retiring operators. Evaluate the route's package volume trends, territory density, and vehicle condition. Secure financing (SBA 7(a) loans work for route acquisitions). Hire CDL-qualified drivers. FedEx provides training and operational support. Start with 1-2 routes and expand.

“FedEx routes are one of the few boring businesses where you're buying into an established brand with guaranteed demand. E-commerce growth means package volume goes up every year. The trick is buying routes at the right multiple and managing drivers well.”
