Can't speak with authority, but presumably FedEx employs packers and drivers; this person was probably speaking as a packer and referring to the truck they're packing as "the truck."

Is that a euphemism?

I never delivered packages, I only loaded them on the trucks. I'd usually be assigned 3-4 trucks depending on package load and how many people decided to show up that day.

Ah gotcha, my cousin worked for ups and loaded trucks also, making the drivers mad all the time haha

Yeah, they're always mad about something. They'll look at their trucks packed to the brim with boxes and wonder why we didn't put each and every package in the exact correct location. We'd do our best, but by the end of the day we'd just be putting them wherever they'd fit.
