[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2388403, member: 64407"] So you think in your demented hatred filled minds that a courier in Omaha should make the same as a courier in NYC. Obviously you have never been to NYC or Chicago or DC and seen what is totally different about the job there. The courier still delivers packages in both locations but the responsibilities are night and day. Watch a guy run a rt anywhere in Manhattan and look up to 60, 70, 80 story buildings and that's where the difference starts. Running multiple rts out of the same truck due to traffic and parking problems. It is noting like anything I have ever seen. The city of Omaha has 1 building that has 45 floors and most of the rest are in the 20 floor range. Many of the Omaha rts are extended area, lots of miles, not so many stops. Watch the NYC courier deal with the several million people a day that walk thru Time Square and he is trying to run his rt in that rat race. Years ago, NYC had stations that delivered documents only because they could be more productive that way while letting others fight with box deliveries. While the NYC courier lives in one of the 5 most expensive cities in the country, the Omaha couriers lives in one of the most affordable. Just about every major company that has locations in major cities pays their employees a different salary depending on the cost associated with living in that city. UPS is one of the exceptions.
