[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 281275, member: 13254"] DHL in this area is a franchise owned by a couple of guys out of Dallas. I forget how many towns their franchise covers, but it's three or four. Their drivers are getting screwed. They get paid on a straight salary that is less than 1/2 of our 40 hour week. They have to pay for their insurance from that and have zero retirement. The only thing going in their favor is the fact that their trucks have A/C which is what the bosses point out to them regularly. The one DHL driver I personally know is a good guy, like him enough to hang out a drink a beer or two. His is one of the better routes in his center, works around 45 hours a week. In our neck of the woods, DHL is getting some of our business simply because of lower costs. However their unreliable delivery record usually sends the customers back to us. [/QUOTE]
