How to Read Your FedEx Ground Weekly Settlement Statement, Line by Line

A FedEx Ground settlement statement shows what FedEx paid one contracted service area for one Saturday-to-Friday week: the daily pickup and delivery pay, e-commerce, other charges, any deductions, and the net amount due to you. Read it top to bottom and it tells a simple story: what the routes did each day, what each kind of work paid, what came back out, and what reached your bank. This guide goes through it in that order. It follows the layout of the statement you download from FedEx's contractor portal. Column names can vary slightly between formats, but the sections are the same.

One word to get straight first. In the ISP agreement, "charges" are what you charge FedEx: your revenue. So "total charges" is money coming to you, not money going out.

The sections, in order

1. Contracted service area. The CSA code at the top tells you which area the statement covers. If you run more than one, each gets its own statement. See CSA codes on settlement statements.
2. The pickup and delivery table. One row per day of the week, with pickup packages and stops, delivery packages and stops, total stops, fuel, surge, and the day's total. A weekly totals row closes the table.
3. The e-commerce table. E-commerce deliveries are paid on their own terms, so they get their own daily table with their own package and stop counts and dollars. See e-commerce charges.
4. Pickup and delivery total. The two tables added together. It already includes the e-commerce amount, so never add the two tables to this total again.
5. Other P&D charges. Lines that aren't paid by the day: fixed or service charges from your contract, brand promotion for vehicles and apparel, large package mix, peak service pay, transition or one-time payments, incentives, and adjustments that correct an earlier week. Each line has a label and an amount.
6. Chargebacks and deductions. Amounts taken back out before you're paid, with their own total. Not every statement has them. See every kind of settlement deduction.
7. Total charges and net amount due. Total charges is everything FedEx paid for the week. Net amount due is what's left after deductions, and it should match the deposit in your bank.
8. Per-driver detail and year to date. After the totals, many statements break the week down by driver and add year-to-date figures. Useful, but don't add these to the totals above: they're the same money shown another way.

How to check a statement, step by step

1. Confirm the week and the CSA. Saturday to Friday, and the CSA you expect.
2. Check the days. Each day your routes ran should have a row. A missing day, or a day with stops but no pay, is worth a question.
3. Work out the effective rates. For each kind of work, divide the dollars by the units: delivery stop dollars by delivery stops, package dollars by packages. That gives you the rate FedEx actually paid.
4. Compare them with your Schedule C. The effective rates should match your rate card. Fuel floats every week by design, so it has no fixed rate to check. See how to read your Schedule C.
5. Read the other charges. Recurring lines should appear every week. One-time lines should have a reason you recognize. An adjustment should point to the week it corrects.
6. Read the deductions. Look for new labels, changed amounts and anything listed twice.
7. Tie the net to your bank. Net amount due should equal the deposit.

A worked example

Made-up numbers for one line, to show the rate check. They are not typical rates.

• Delivery stops for the week: 3,000
• Delivery stop dollars: $5,400
• Effective rate: $5,400 ÷ 3,000 = $1.80 per stop
• Rate on the Schedule C: $1.85 per stop

At the contract rate, 3,000 stops would pay $5,550. The $150 difference is worth flagging for review. Ask your FedEx contact before assuming anything: an amendment you've accepted, or an adjustment due next week, can explain it.

Common questions

Where do I get my settlement statement?

From FedEx's contractor portal, MyBizAccount, where each week's statement can be viewed and downloaded.

What is the difference between total charges and net amount due?

Total charges is everything FedEx paid you for the week. Net amount due is total charges minus chargebacks and deductions, the amount actually deposited.

Is the fuel surcharge revenue?

Yes. It's paid to you, and it moves every week with the fuel price. See the weekly fuel surcharge.

Is the brand promotion line a deduction?

No. Brand promotion for vehicles and apparel sits with the other charges: it's paid to you for running FedEx-branded trucks and uniforms.

Why does the statement have so many totals?

Because the tables nest. The daily tables roll up into the pickup and delivery total, which rolls up into total charges. Add only at one level, or you'll count the same money twice.

When should I worry about a difference?

When it repeats, grows, or has no explanation. One week off by a few dollars is often an adjustment that lands later. The same gap every week is a question for FedEx.

Reading every statement without the spreadsheet

Your AI settlement auditor in Route Impact reads each statement as it arrives. It works out the effective per-stop and per-package rates, then checks those rates, the weekly service charge and brand promotion against your own Schedule C, flagging differences for your review with the dollar amount. It also flags a missing fuel surcharge, totals that don't add up, and new or changed deductions. With the Connect FedEx Chrome extension, you sign in to MyBizAccount the way you already do and start a sync, and it finds the statements you don't have yet. You can also upload the statements you already download.
