[QUOTE="socalfusions, post: 2484493, member: 64574"] After inquiring about open positions for fedex ground due to my unsatisfactory experience working for my current ground contractor I got an offer from a contractor in the midwest (I'm currently west coast) who offered to pay a $6k bonus and $1k/week to help with the large demand of december. Apparently they are extremely hard pressed for drivers out there which I can only assume is due to the much smaller populations, my question is what's the catch? I explained my current work environment to this contractor, badly maintained vehicles, low pay, and a sickening turnover rate, they were quite surprised to hear it's like that out here. I can't help but be skeptical and to be honest have a distrust for fedex as a company just by seeing their business philosophy first hand. Does this sound too good to be true? Am I going to have to get what they're offering on paper to ensure it's a legitimate thing? As far as I can tell they only expect employment through december and after that it's up to me whether I want to stay or not. I'm not particularly optimistic about going so far from home for work as I have some responsibilities here but if it's only a month I could likely work around that. [/QUOTE]
