Express doesn't hire quality employees anymore. They're simply unwilling to pay for them. So it comes as no surprise at all to me these days that we see the same exact antics coming from the guys in the orange 'Ex' trucks as we've always enjoyed poking fun at from the guys in the green 'Ex' trucks. It should come as no surprise at all really, as ya gets what ya pays for - and Fredward seems perfectly okay with that.
Why on earth would a quality individual wish to sign on at this dump as it is these days? A company can survive on its past reputation for only so long. And the clock has run out for this sorry-assed one.
FedEx's new motto for 2014 "We ALL suck now!"
Very true. While I almost never see unprofessional behavior from UPS drivers, it is really on the rise at Express. The new employee is so dumbed-down that when DRA starts printing "00's", they can't even pull the belt for their route area. Of course, that "area" can be different every day with DRA, so that isn't a big surprise.
UPS still views having a capable professional out there on the road as being cost-effective. Obviously, Fred doesn't quite see things the same way. So when drivers nose-in to residentials etc. and then run people over, it's "cost-effective" to settle out-of-court.
UPS took the high road, FedEx took the basement route. The whole company sucks.
