Interviewed Jun 2011 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
The hiring process was pretty simple to get in.
To get the interview, I was recommended by a friend who already works there (this is your best chance to get in. FedEx hires mostly from internal recommendations... Though not always). The terminal manager called and asked me if I was interested in the job, and if I was able to meet these qualifications:
1) Able to lift 75 lbs
2) Willing to work out in the heat or cold (the dock is like basically working outside, though you have a covered roof).
3) For my shift, be able to work nights.
Those were the main things that they were interested in because all of the freight comes in at night, so it is only a night shift job.
After the mini phone session, we set up an interview in which I met with the Terminal Manager (very nice man). He asked a lot of "what if" questions because he was required to by corporate.
This would be quite similar to one of those questions "Describe a time where a customer or employee was angry with you because of something you did/caused. How did you react to him/her? How did you resolve the situation?"
Though not perfect, it's very close to what they ask. Every question besides a little about my personal life (where I live, where I go to school, etc.) was that type of format. The good thing is, if you don't have a situation that actually happened to you, it is allowed to make one up (and tell how you would handle it) or even describe situations that happened to friends or family (and then how you would've handled it).
The company is organized when it comes to getting all your stuff together. However, a little slow on the actually hiring. After my interview, it took 3 weeks for corporate to approve me for training/work. So have a cash reserve if you plan on quitting your other job (if you have one).
The office and people in it are generally nice. Some people aren't interested in you, but that's a minority. Generally everybody is easy to get along with (especially if you work hard and do well).
The one thing you need to be prepared for if you become a dock worker, is be ready to get dirty. In the summer, you will sweat tons (I lost ten pounds in less than a month just working there). Also, there's dust and other stuff floating in the air, that'll stick to your stick (though it sounds worse than it is).
Have clothes that you don't care about getting dirty, bring gloves, and black steel toe boots (no other color accepted)
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The pay isn't all that negotiable, but I started out making $14.90, in which I was definitely ok with to start.
There's nothing that's really negotiable otherwise, but they don't leave anything out that you should know.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
I was called for an interview at FedEx Freight for the position of Dock Worker : Part-Time. The job pays $14.50 Hr. The job timings are 5pm - 9pm or it could be till 11pm or 12pm. There is a similar morning shift available.
If you pass the interview then you are sent for a drug test. After the test you will be asked to come back so you can do some paper work for a background check - 10 yrs back and then they will call you back after the check is done.
The background check will take about a week. If you clear then they will call you for training.

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
I applied online and was called within a few weeks to set up an interview. The regional ops manager and the service center manager were the interviewers. The atmosphere was surprisingly very comfortable. They asked me questions about my education and previous work experience, as well as my answers to questions that were asked on the application. By the end of the interview, I felt as if I knew a lot about them and they knew a lot about me. After many unsuccessful interviews with other companies, I threw caution to the wind and didn't bother taking the time to research the company. My carelessness helped me to relax and I felt it was my best interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 6+ weeks)
The interview was very structured, yet not stressful. The position does not require a high level of skill, but rather an ability to work very consistently at a fast pace without any damages. You will be required to pass a math skills test, as well as a dock skills analysis, drug test, and complete typical interview questions.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 2 weeks)
After filling out a very detailed application, I was selected to come in for an interview. The interviewer made me feel very comfortable. She was very sociable and asked pertinent information in regard to my past employment, other work situations I had experienced and why I wanted to work for Fed-Ex.
