[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 774506, member: 12508"] What's the risk? You've got seniority and they really can't push us much harder than they already are. What Upstate (and other UPSer's) don't figure-in is the greater distances between stops and the FedEx predominance of on-calls vs. regulars (UPS calls them House Stops). I've got 3-4 UPS drivers within my 1 area on any given day. Often, they go from one dock directly across the street to the next, or drive 75 feet to the business next door. Lots of in and out for them compared to drive time for me. Think about it from the perspective of someone who just started two years ago and has 18 to go until he gets to a point where he's [B]$10 per hour lower in pay than a UPS driver. [/B]Plus, FedEx has just saved itself 17 years of having to pay a top wage that isn't even close to the competition. [I]That's ridiculous!![/I] We've got an ex-UPS supervisor (package car) working for us now and he's the biggest whiner I've seen in awhile. He isn't very good at figuring out how to work-in his on-calls with deliveries because they aren't across the street from each other any more. I don't know why he left UPS, but he's fairly worthless as a courier. Maybe the FedEx job isn't quite as easy as some people think. [/QUOTE]
