[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 1996693, member: 18716"] Our terminal looks like a junkyard of Ground trucks. Caved in sides, missing good chunk of the roof, front ends that are non existent all due to drivers falling asleep or driving like idiots. The biggest difference between Ground, Express, and UPS is hourly pay. If Ground drivers got a hourly wage and OT you would see less of this because they would not be blasting through their routes to get done ASAP to feel like they made a buck. The other difference is Express and UPS follow DOT rules have to take lunches and breaks that does not happen with most at Ground. We have guys who have to get all the way back to the first town they were in to do pickups by 430 because a sales rep has promised the moon. The pick up happens because they are not taken lunches or breaks. If they did the Contractor would get fined for late pick ups. So is FedEx really setting realistic goals by putting this much on a driver that covers 4 to 6 zipcodes. Sounds like FedEx is very much part of the problem to those accidents that happen regularly.
