What to study?
Make sure you know your local traffic laws. DPS usually has copies.
Other than that, go rent a uhaul truck and drive it all over where ever you're going to be doing fedex. Downtown, dirt roads, etc. They're going to want to make sure you can keep the truck in a lane, make sure you can turn cleanly and obey traffic laws.
It shouldn't be too hard. The biggest pain in the ass is backing up with a small truck like that. Practice stuff like that. Be able to drive a decent sized truck as confidently as you drive whatever car you own.

I assume that this is relevant, although it involves UPS. I have a friend who's worked for them for years and has mentioned a few times that they are big on backing up and maneuvering in tight quarters.
At the UPS facility where he worked, they would often set up some of the older trucks in kind of a city street arrangement and the driver would have to deal successfully navigate and park, obviously without hitting anything.
(This was some years ago, so I don't know if this is the current way that things are done. It makes sense that it would be, though.)
EDIT: I really don't know anything more than what he mentioned in passing, which I wrote here. He's off on vacation or I would get more details for you. It sounded like it was more of a refresher kind of thing, kind of a PT test, but for UPS drivers.
