Default ORD Ramp to main terminal

Sup intrepid flyers!? Can anyone tell me if there’s a shuttle from FedEx ramp in ORD over to the main terminal? My Jumpseat is due to land at 4:15am and my commercial flight is 6am. Is this cutting it too close? If a taxi/Uber is the only possibility-is it pretty easy to get a get one at that time of morning. Thanks

No shuttle, one time I did it I was able to get one of the Fedex drivers to take me over but Lyft/Uber is the only way across. Took a cab once and it was $20 from the terminal to cargo, you'll never get one to pick you up and take you back.....

That time of the morning there should be some ride share cars around, I wouldn't think your cutting it too close unless FedEx is late because the sort was late.

I was fortunate to have an employee run me over. The Uber app kept showing my location at the terminal. Anyone know a work around on this? I ran into same issue at PDX.

Uber does the same thing in dtw. Lyft however differentiates between the terminal and cargo side.

I have used them many times. Tell them you are at the FedEx ramp. They usually take about 10 minutes to get there. Call them as soon as you block in. Approx $20 + $5 tip.

So I don't have to start a new thread but has anyone had experience in DTW? Parking and such? If I do have to use a ride share is there a known spot for them to drop off? Thanks!
