Already listed and all that but the number the lady gave me to call the LAX office is no bueno.
Would be much appreciated if someone could PM me the address of the LAX ramp (or just tell me where it is I'm supposed to report for my jumpseat in the morning).
Also, it's my first time using FedEx. Any pointers/infos that I should know?
Thanks fellas.

TIPS:
When you go through security, they'll give you tags for each bag to signify that it has been screened. Be sure that you write each leg of the trip on the tag. If you're doing LAX-MEM-EWR, write each segment on each tag. They don't usually check, but if they do, and you don't, they'll send you back out to security in MEM to rescreen your bags.
Dress warmly, depending on what they are carrying, it might get chilly in the back. Even if their cargo is not temperature sensitive, it still can get cold back there. I usually layer up.
The building is over under the imperial hwy there on the south side of the airport. You just drive right up past all the delivery trucks and there is a little office with a screening machine. Thats where you go, then they'll take you past all the packages and out to the flight line. Merlin is right about the cold, I always bring a blanket or two and a beanie for my head cuz its way cold on the MD10, if you get the MD11 you'll probably have to sit up front because they have no seats in back, if the crew is nice they'll let you into the "pod" but most are not. Always be very courteous and professional, these guys are a weird bunch and you'll probably get some strange vibes from a few, I always felt like they didn't want me there. Anyway, when you get to EWR take the fedex employee bus it'll drop you right off next to term a. DO NOT WALK, its really far and the port gets pissed. Always, always, always respect the 1 hour rule, they will ban you for life after 3 no shows so don't mess around. If you have a problem leaving EWR and its gonna be close call the ops guys to cancel or beg for mercy they're number is 973-504-3935 they just ask the crew if its cool if you show up late and sometimes they're like "ok" but sometimes not. Anyway, enjoy EWR tell T-money I said sorry about his commuting nightmare. Things will get better.
