[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 306799, member: 12508"] Exactly...the original subject has been sidetracked by the usual suspects and one new one.To say that there are no similarities between the two jobs (FedEx Courier and UPS Driver),or the issues of electronic falsification is simply ignorant. Sorry, but it's pretty much the same job with a different-colored truck. Yes, a UPS driver makes more and he/she also has the benefit of a union to keep management somewhat at bay, but the time pressures and basic job are very similar. A FedEx courier typically covers a much wider area than his UPS counterpart which evens such items as stop and package counts out. Add-in the fact that about 30 of my pick-up stops are on-call and it evens out even more. I have lunch with 2 UPS drivers at least twice a week, and when we compare notes the jobs match-up pretty closely. So, sorry, DannyBoy and TieGuy. Since you've never done my job you don't have a clue. Typical smug suits who remember how "it used to be" when they were on the road. How soon they forget the realities of being a driver when they clip-on that JC Penney tie. The FedEx PowerPad and the UPS DIAD are very similar in their capabilities and issues, particularly the GPS/Falsification problem. Our management, which is unchecked in it's tyranny by the Teamsters, can do whatever it wants with GPS and it sounds like UPS management is starting to use GPS against drivers as well. So, TieGuy and your brethren, do you still think this isn't a common issue between FedEx and UPS drivers? Perhaps as managers, you'd like to pretend so. [/QUOTE]
