[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 927904, member: 24302"] Don't take anyone's word on it, just do the math. Take starting pay for your payscale, calculate 3% and add to starting pay. That's the first raise. Keep doing that and see for yourself how many 3% raises it will take to get to midway point where you'll qualify for 5% raises. In the past I was told I'd top out in 7 to 8 years. That was 11+ years ago. I'm at 13 years and 42% of range, won't even qualify for 5%. By the way don't become a swing driver unless you are either going to stay a swing, or prepared to take a serious paycut if you go back to regular courier. After you've been a swing awhile you'll realize why many choose to take the cut and go back. I hope you are young and can wait until your 30's to get better raises. With a bad economy you may have to just settle for whatever FedEx gives. If your options are limited then you might do yourself a favor and try not to stress over it, just deal with it. I say that from dealing with a plugged up artery which in part was due to stress. Know that FedEx wants as much out of you as possible and will give as little as possible back. Either plan to leave or accept it, you won't be able to change it. Just don't believe the hype, you'll set yourself up for disappointment later. [/QUOTE]
