FedEx Routes: How Much Money Can I Make?

As the new owner of FedEx routes or as an investor to FedEx Routes, you often ask “How Much Money Can I make?”  Well, you have an amazing opportunity to forge your own way, with the comfortable backing of a worldwide brand (with a trusted service and a reliable product). Effectively, you become a steward of that brand and stand to benefit along the way. But, what about the expenses? Or, how much can you expect to make? Owning a route is an investment, so before you put your money where your mouth is let’s consider the numbers…

The Revenues from FedEx Routes

When you own a FedEx route and operate as a contractor, you can get paid in multiple ways. This level of diversification helps because it ensures that if the market ebbs and flows you can remain on your feet. Instead, what you can expect is:

  • Money coming in from a flat annual rate.
  • Payments for services (whether for delivery or pick up).
  • Bonuses based on performance (like customer service).

All these factors in mind, the average annual profit for a FedEx route has been reported at between $30,000 – $40,000. While it might not seem like your on your way to becoming a millionaire, the best part about owning a FedEx route is that you don’t have to own just one!

In fact, the best business people own multiple FedEx routes. If you have routes in different locations, with different employees, you can continually profit from business in different areas. All of a sudden $40,000 can start to look a lot like $400,000!

The Expenses from FedEx Routes

While you definitely do not have to worry about marketing, brand recognition, or business, there are some expenses that come with owning your own FedEx route. The main ones include:

  • The capital you will need to buy the route.
  • Paying and keeping hold of employees to help run your route.
  • The vehicles you will need to put on the road.

On average an FedEx route costs approximately $100,000. Most owners owns more than 5 routes post ISP.  Therefore, you can expect to employee approximately between 6 – 10 people typically. Trucks is another major expenditure for your routes.  From there, it’s all about the little things: uniforms, decals, handheld, and software…etc. While it might seem costly at first, but it is now your business, and it comes with a consistent process, business, and brand that is going nowhere on the global market.

Making Money With FedEx Routes

Want to know the best part about owning your very own FedEx route? It’s yours. You get to own it, you get to run it, and you get to reap the spoils of your success. That is why FedEx routes are so great for both beginner and experienced investors, it all depends on your own ability to hustle. Believe in your work ethic?

“

I am writing to highly recommend Miriam for her exceptional services in facilitating FedEx route transactions.

I purchased my first set of FedEx routes in 2018, and the business grew fourfold following the pandemic. As I reached retirement age, I decided to sell my routes and hired Miriam to manage the process. She successfully facilitated the sale of one portion in 2022 and the remaining two portions in 2025.

Throughout our four transactions together, one purchase and three sales, Miriam demonstrated extensive knowledge of the FedEx process. During a complex partial sale of my entire CSA, she was instrumental in gathering all the necessary data required for the bank to secure financing for the buyer.

I strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to sell their FedEx routes.

I recently listed my Fedex routes with Route Advisors and had a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Miriam and her team were professional and easy to work with, helping at each stage to make sure we completed all steps to get to closing.

In particular, they found a suitable buyer very quickly (within weeks of listing) and vetted the buyer before we moved to due diligence. We then had weekly calls to progress toward closing. The requirements were clear, advice was sound and decision points were presented with plenty of time to make good choices. We were able to move to closing in less than six months, achieving the deal structure and price that was beneficial to us and the buyer.

I highly recommend Route Advisors. Personal service, highly attentive and responsive (we were two time zones apart and I never felt ignored and never had a call that was missed), overall an A+.

Route Advisors was referred to me by a colleague, a former FedEx ISP contractor who successfully sold his business through Miriam. I interviewed approximately four different brokers before deciding to work with Route Advisors. My decision was based on my colleague’s successful experience with them and, more importantly, their extensive knowledge of handling complex FedEx transactions.

Route Advisors ultimately sold my business at a price higher than I had expected. Throughout the transaction, Miriam was involved every step of the way. She connected the buyer with a lender experienced in FedEx transactions, guided both the buyer and seller through the entire sales process, helped the buyer prepare the RFI, and coached the buyer for the interview with FedEx.

I was very pleased with the experience and the outcome. After the sale of my business, I referred Miriam and Route Advisors to another colleague who was also looking to sell his FedEx business. She successfully sold his business as well.

Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Miriam and Route Advisors to FedEx contractors considering selling their businesses.
