I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at FedEx Freight (Romulus, MI) in Apr 2015
Interview
Very Structured. Scripted. Interviews at this company are very structured. You can elaborate or ask questions near the end but every interview position specific is very similar. Some people do not understand this process and throws some people off.
I have personally conducted dozens of interviews during my management career and sometime wish I had the ability to better know the candidate from a professional level. But it is understandable that this is necessary to avoid litigation.

Describe a situation where you had to quantify success of your managment abilities
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at FedEx Freight (Houston, TX) in Mar 2016
Interview
Was similar to talking to a robot. The interviewer was reading a transcipt, while chewing tabacco, and spitting in a trash can located about 6 feet from his desk. So you can really see the spitt coming out his mouth into the trash can. Try to concentrate with that. I dont think he was understanding his own questions. My guess, he didnt go to school for long. He was very unprofessional and inappropriate. My interview was at 10, they made me wait an hour before they call me in.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FedEx Freight
Interview
Many applications online. Six months of no word. Got called out of the blue on a weekday at 2:30pm. Came in, filled out more paperwork, background check, everything had to pass before I could proceed further. They will not waste their interview time with anyone not qualified to be a driver. Interviewed in person with both the small terminal manager and operations supervisor. Two different interviews on different days. Then I had to take a driving test. Then I got "hired" to come to work and ride around with people until I could go to a major hub and take a week's worth of classes to prepare me for actual pickup and delivery. They paid for hotel and food for that trip, but I had to share a room with someone. After that point, I was on a 90 day probationary period. All very standard stuff.
