[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 785595, member: 12508"] How many UPS feeder drivers are PT? None that I know of. How does UPS find work when there isn't enough work for their truck drivers? Here's my point, which you'll undoubtedly miss by a mile. [I]Quality [/I]companies make a commitment to their employees to maximize their own (the employee's) profitability as well as that of the organization. If someone wants to be PT, that's fine, but if they want FT, FedEx needs to step-up the number of job shares in order to retain a quality workforce. It's pretty expensive to train a Class A CDL driver, give them some experience wrecking things, and then lose them to another company willing to pay them what they are worth. The new federal government safety standards are going to create a severe shortage of safe and highly qualified Class A CDL drivers. Once again, FedEx proves it's a second rate organization, even compared with WalMart, which pays it's truckers well above the industry standard. Why? Because it pays to retain top-notch drivers in the long run. Cheaper, better service, fewer accidents, and decreased liability for starters. It's very obvious that you know nothing about trucking. Quit embarassing yourself and FedEx. [/QUOTE]
