Does anyone know what the pay scale is for Fed/Ex ground? I used to know a guy who drove for them--he hated it--and I thought he said they got paid, like .29 a mile, but I can't remember. A few of us were wondering about it today.

What's a gypsy driver? Heard that one other time describing a feeder driver.
$1.50 per mile!!!!No way do they get paid $1.50 an hour.
There has to be more to it than $1.50/mile. I wonder if FE gives them a deal on fuel and insurance and all that.
They do get a break on fuel if they fill up at FDXG terminals. Something like $2-$2.25/gallon.
That makes sense.
Back when I used to haul hay, I got $2/mile and did OK. That was almost 30 years ago. Granted, I did lots of empty miles, but still, I cannot imagine a person making any money today for less than I was paid 30 years ago. Even with $2/gal fuel, that is still double what I paid.
I believe the contractors get paid a fuel surcharge. The amount per mile goes up or down depending on the price of fuel.
They get paid by the spot as well. Safety bonuses. I don't remember all the pay info or amounts. But I know the contractors make quite a bit.
The drivers around here make around .50 a mile (around $1000 a week including bonuses) with medical/dental.
