Let me show you how to spot when you’re about to buy a fantastic FedEx P&D Route.
I have one ultimate goal for people progressing through this course:
To be receiving income from FedEx within 8 weeks from today’s date (or at least have a closing date set). That may seem fast, but it’s possible and is a very reasonable target to shoot for.
ADVANCED ROUTE EVALUATION STRATEGIES COURSE OBJECTIVES:
✅ Learn how to deeply analyze a specific FedEx Ground route for sale
✅ Assess reasonable profitability estimates
✅ Establish a reasonable and fair valuation
✅ Avoid common pitfalls with many route acquisitions and increase your odds of success
✅ Takes ~10 days to complete evaluation due to time needed to review course material, get docs from the seller, analyze seller’s answers, etc.
✅ Use systematic methods to determine the upside or downside potential of the deal
✅ Explore deeper valuation strategies for a specific deal
Learn how much time it ACTUALLY will take you to manage a specific route you’re looking at.
Estimate the TRUE profit potential of the deal.
And finally, determine the UNIQUE risks the deal has.
Once you know this, THEN you’ll be able to determine a fair price to offer. Then you can quickly take over operations and start generating cash flow.
Analyzing documentation from FedEx lowers your risk compared to other businesses. But this is only the case when you know exactly how FedEx works. FedEx routes are VERY easy to distort if you use typical due diligence methods. Because of this, many of the strategies I reveal are NOT intuitive. When you use these strategies, you’ll be able to determine if a route is as great as they claim.
Most people only evaluate 2-3 components of a route. But routes have 8 components that ALL need examination. This will allow you to:
✅ Know when you’ll need a secondary manager,
✅ See why using “margins” to calculate profitability is totally ineffective,
✅ Spot when a seller has created a ‘fake’ manager to help sell the business,
✅ See why absentee owned routes for sale often have the worst operations (not the best),
✅ Learn how to see the beyond the revenue and also see the expenses that settlements expose,
✅ Use Weekly Charge Statements to know if revenue may decrease in upcoming contracts (sellers don’t talk about this),
✅ Understand why some routes can explode in profitability,
✅ Identify routes that sellers don’t want because they know the profits will drop soon (despite package volume increases),
✅ See why some routes take a LOT of time to manage vs others that are easy to run,
✅ Budget for more expenses FedEx will be forcing on contractors,
✅ See why carve outs (aka Split-CSAs) complicate evaluations,
✅ Know how to properly deal with the unavoidable risk of carve-outs,
✅ Uncover the routes that may not get their contract renewed,
✅ Analyze the fleet like a pro using real world stats, and a ton more.
Acquiring a profitable business requires 5 primary steps:
1) Make sure the business is one that you can succeed with and enjoy owning.
2) Get the seller to provide the right documents for an effective evaluation.
3) Analyze the deal.
4) Determine the real value of the route, negotiate, and get your offer accepted.
5) Get approved by FedEx, and transfer the business to your corporation.
Those steps are impossible to do alone. This is the case regardless of prior business experience or online “research.”
ALL routes have different problems…
Problems are ok. But not knowing EXACTLY what those problems are is NOT ok. We’re not looking for a “perfect” route – that doesn’t exist. We’re looking for the “perfect for you” route.
The goal is to find the hidden problems and determine the solutions. After that, we can estimate new realistic profit targets AND time requirements. This process reduces a lot of risk but also exposes unavoidable risks. Finally, knowing all this gives you a TON of traction in negotiations.
The strategies and methods you’ll learn come from evaluating routes for over a decade now. There’s no rush on my end at all, but the market will rush you since FedEx routes have been a hot business to buy for years now.
Most buyers “research” by watching YouTube videos and webinars made by sellers. This creates overconfidence since this business model seems so simple. They’ll make offers fast before even understanding proper route evaluation. You will want to move fast as well, but in the right way.
Because of these ill-informed buyers, timelines can be tight during evaluations. While the course is thorough, it focuses on speed more than anything.
Routes are a profitable business for thousands of contractors.
But you need the right methods to analyze the deal and the seller’s claims. This course will let you know if the route you’re considering is a good one, and if not, how to change it to make it good.
Remember, brokers work for sellers and only get paid when they sell you a route. Let me be in your corner to help you determine if what you’re looking at is as great as the seller claims it is.
1) The course doesn’t hold any tactics or strategies back at all. It is NOT riddled with upsells that you may have experienced with other consultants. It is so thorough that it’s not necessary to work together 1-on-1 to analyze a deal. Regardless, some people will find it beneficial to have an extra pair of experienced eyes on the deal. If you’d like to explore those 1-on-1 options – click here.
2) The course took me 10 years to learn this industry and then another entire year to write it. It will be the fastest, most thorough path for you to analyze the vast majority of routes.
WHAT THE COURSE IS NOT:
❌It is NOT a general business concepts / acquisition course.
❌It is NOT going to guarantee precisely what a route is making, what you’ll make in the future, or magically eliminate all your risk.
❌ It is NOT focusing only on the positives of routes. Routes have been a fantastic investment for thousands of contractors. Even still, some owners have suffered major losses. There are serious pros and cons that make them not a good fit for many.
❌ It is NOT a sales pitch in disguise. We don’t do the endless hidden upsells game here.
THIS COURSE IS FOR PEOPLE:
✅ Serious about buying a FedEx business
✅ Experienced in business and know generic evaluation methods
✅ Risk takers that know investments can fail

✅ Updated with new info based on contractors, managers, research / news agencies
COMMON MYTHS SELLERS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE:
MYTH 1: The ability to read P&Ls, balance sheets, tax returns means you don’t need any help with evaluation. Business is business, and numbers don’t lie.
This course is for smart experienced people with a strong business background. However, it’s impossible to analyze a route without knowing how routes work on a deep level. That’s because this isn’t a normal “business” – it’s a contractual relationship. This makes common evaluation methods (almost) worthless.
Succeeding with routes needs solid preexisting business skills. It isn’t some magic effortless way for people with no skills to “get rich” like sellers want you to think. The truth is that routes are a way to combine a good work ethic with strong skills and get paid very well for it.
You need business expertise to operate a successful route business. But that same expertise is almost useless for the evaluation of routes.
MYTH 2: Doing research online for free is all that’s needed to learn about buying routes.
The ‘free’ content online you’re reading is VERY expensive. You just pay for it after you buy an overpriced route that takes 50 hours a week to run, makes 40% the money they claimed, and is in jeopardy of termination. Whoops. So, this training is helpful even if you’ve “done your research.”
Sellers, brokers, and people with no experience with routes are often the posters. A lot of the stuff I’ve seen is wrong. But when it IS accurate, it’s often exaggerated, incomplete, biased, or exceptional. It’s impossible for a buyer to tell which info is valuable or misleading.
MYTH 3: The operations of this business are simple, so the evaluation process is too.
The evaluation process for routes is far more complex than many simple businesses. This is due to contractual aspects of routes making it not line up with normal expectations.
MYTH 4: I’ve bought other businesses, so I can evaluate routes on my own.
Generic business knowledge won’t tell you why one FedEx contract is better than the other. Do you know why you would want LESS money paid for a “Weekly Service Charge?” Why is being paid “Contingency” sometimes a red flag? What’s the next upcoming contract likely to look like? What “IB%” should you look for? Is this contract up for termination, renewal, or a big change?
This stuff is all FedEx specific that other acquisitions won’t help with understanding. None of these concepts are “hard.” But you need to know the specifics of FedEx evaluation to make sure you’re getting a great route.
FAQ
The full process includes off-site and on-site evaluation, seller meetings and negotiations. This usually takes around 10 days. The course has zero fluff. It'll save you a massive amount of time. You'll know the exact questions to ask and the specific things to look for in your on-site evaluation.
Even after due diligence evaluation there's more risk. There's risk of contract changes, terminations, increased competition (eg. Amazon), and other unknown inherent business risks. This course reduces and exposes risk, not eliminates it.
What we CAN control is training you to better make a personal decision on whether to pursue or pass on a route. Only you know if owning a route is a match for your skills, desire, finances, and risk tolerance. My goal is to help you understand routes as best I can so you can make a better personal decision.
It's good to know basic core concepts of business ownership. But the most useful concepts I teach are specific to routes (and often very counter intuitive).
Even powerful methods of evaluation can only do so much. It won't protect you from contract changes, income swings, or unavoidable risk. This will be true regardless of any amount of due diligence. No due diligence process can guarantee anything, especially for the future.
Buying businesses, FedEx or otherwise, is always risky. Using my strategies will reduce the risk a lot, but risk will still remain regardless.
Business ownership takes mental AND physical effort. The training presumes you already have a strong business acumen developed. Knowing the risks and obligations of FedEx allows you to make better decisions.

You must understand this business yourself to succeed. Also, a “good” route might be a disaster for you depending on several factors unique to you. My goal is to help, not try to make every dollar possible. I won't sell you something where you have no real chance of succeeding.
Of course, failure is always possible in any route, even with effort and a strong evaluation. But a “100% done for you” analysis is not offered at any price because I want you to have a good chance at success.
Your Instructor – Tony DiNitto
As a former contractor, I’ve been training people on whether to buy (or avoid) routes for well over a decade.
For over a decade, I’ve been teaching buyers how to analyze deals like a pro. I’ve owned both FedEx and bread routes. I’ve driven trucks, flipped routes, managed other’s routes, been interviewed in major publications, ran routes, coached new and established contractors. Point is…I know a thing or two about routes.
Bold Print Disclaimers:
I am not an attorney, CPA, financial advisor, or currently affiliated with FedEx corporate in any way.
I make no “recommendations,” and give no “approvals,” nor know your personal situation to advise whether routes are a good fit for you.
The information you obtain here should augment, not replace, your own decision making abilities. It is not intended to be personalized advice whatsoever.
Information is presented as truly and accurately as possible and based around actual experience in the route industry, but shouldn’t be misconstrued as infallible and/or somehow completely without error.
Most importantly, business ownership is risky even with the best due diligence process ever. People that can’t accept risk and responsibility should NOT purchase this course.

WHAT SOME CLIENTS HAVE SAID
(Countless more reviews found on Clarity)
Jordan F
Tony went over a FedEx opportunity in-depth with me and really looked under all the rocks he could find. Very methodical – told me what to look out for. He rated the deal – and gave me an expectation of what to pay.
Henry A
Tony knows a lot that he can understand, interpret and give you a response immediately about all your questions route related. Definitely worth it to talk to Tony if you’re thinking about routes. Talking to the seller or brokers won’t give you the clear picture that Tony explains to you.
Tom B
Tony pulled back the curtain and revealed several aspects of the Route business, specifically the FEDEX Route business that a novice wouldn’t consider on their own. Very insightful!
