The newer UPS guy knows it, he bows to me.
The UPS guy, who gets paid more as a newhire than you make, will soon make double what you make, with great bennies too, bows to you? No, he's doubling over with laughter.

If he's doubling over, it's because he's cramping up. I see drivers with 20 years driving running their asses off. Those time studies are TIGHT.

Thats why UPS drivers get paid $32hr. Thats why UPS makes billions in profits. Its a win win.
I bet FDX ground drivers would run their asses off also if they made a living wage working for FDX ground. But you wont see many FDX GROUND drivers with 20 years of service anyway with no reason to stay.
Hey Mr 7
what company do I work for?
Yes, they could handle all of that. It would be rough going, with ISPs scrambling to hire more drivers and purchase more vehicles... It might even get a few contracts renegotiated. The capital city of my state used to only have 1 Ground driver delivering the entire city; today, it takes several. More freight = more drivers and trucks.
Dude you need a fuc kin reality check bro! You are theI'm fairly impressed with the wit that has shown up on the Ground side lately. At least they aren't a bunch of whiny overpaid crybabies without the nads to stand up for themselves.
If I hadbag Express or UPS people in my work area, I would certainly park different. Luckily I don't have that issue. The newer UPS guy knows it, he bows to me. As well he better.
Yeah......I'm sure it's that easy and you'd really get some quality drivers especially on short notice.
Try posting an ad on the message board at the local jail.
actually a group of Ground management called "contractor resources" has been compiling such a list of applicants since before Christmas. The cover story was always the possible UPS strike, but could just as well be a shifting of freight between opcos.
I'm 46 my friend. I try to run like I'm 23 though.

I'm afraid you have been sold a bill of goods. You are an hourly employee, no more, no less. What you fail to realize is that you have no ability to make FedEx customers "happy", your boss made them happy by hiring you and and allowing or ordering you to do so. If you didn't, you'd be replaced by someone who could. I'm sure you saw this happen in your long career, I know I have, and I'm in a union.
FedEx paid you well early on to keep the union out during their formative stages. The threat of unionization is getting less and less and that is why FedEx hourly employees make less and less. Certainly not because management has lost sight of some perceived nobility of the FedEx Driver. You are what you are because your boss made you that way and she/he wants you that way and now they got you right by the short hairs. I hope you got all those promises in writing about taking care of you, but then, that would have to take the form of something like a union contract.
I read this over and it sounds like I'm demeaning you, and that is not my intent. There are certainly many hourly employees who do more chest thumping and bragging than they should. If you work by the hour, or a set rate, and you do more than the next guy you're not acomplishing anything except enriching the boss. Take heart in the fact that you are not the first or will you be the last to be duped by a major corporation.
Christmas was here and gone and the list is old.
Many of those applicants have most likely moved on to greener pastures.
Yes. And they started very early before peak and have been very, very busy ever since. You do the math.Ahh so THAT'S what contractor resources does...
In my area the pimple face teenager at the in and out makes about the same.I made $15.63/hr yesterday .. not bad for an unskilled, uneducated laborer .. especially in the area I live in![]()
