FedEx Freight | 2019 Freight Handling Competition (FHC)

[SwampRatt]

Back for its third year, the Freight Handling Competition (FHC) promises to test the skills of our freight handlers both on and off the forklift. Registration is open through Oct. 12 for the 2019 competition on the FHC site (keyword: FHC).

I hope this is being communicated effectively, since preliminary testing will be Oct. 8 – Nov. 2. Exam study materials will be made available after eligibility is confirmed.

Great chance to show off your skills. Haven't looked deeper into it, but as I understand it, significant prizes are up for grabs.
