I found a site a while back with a list of FedEx feeders that operate the C-208. I think we got all but Baron Aviation. Here is the list of all the Caravan FedEx feeder operators and where their offices are located.
Baron Aviation - Vichy, MO
Corporate Air - Billings, MT
CSA - Kingsford, MI
Empire Airlines - Coeur d' Alene, ID
Mountain Air Cargo - Denver, NC
West Air - Las Vegas, NV
Wiggins - Manchester, NH
Looks like most are currently hiring for the Caravan. In general, mins are showing 2000 TT, 1000 PIC, everything else at 135 mins. West Air and Baron are looking for 2000 PIC. Mountain Air is advertising 1500 TT, 1000 PIC for the Caravan, but...

It also appears that previous 135 experience is a big plus.
Hope all this helps
