MMRs Overview
For FedEx Ground contractors, your vehicles (listed in your Schedule B) operate under FedEx Ground's DoT number. Therefore, you'll need to report mileage and maintenance to FedEx every month. This report is your Monthly Maintenance Report (MMR). Beans Route can automatically generate these reports for you.
