But isn't it in FedEx's best interest to have better paid Ground drivers, assuming the money is there? If true then the contractors are undermining Ground's success. FedEx has known about the poor pay for, oh I don't know, as long as there's been a Ground, right? Looking at the way pay has gone at Express, I think FedEx is very happy with the pay Ground drivers are getting and are working towards getting Express couriers as close to Ground pay as possible. They are only interested in paying as little as possible that'll keep couriers and drivers at it, and are constantly looking for the lowest common denominator. Their answer is to raise starting pay to attract newhires rather than reward those stuck in their web.
Thats they way it is van I am sure they are thinking of ways to pay you guys 10 bucks a hour too with no ot and no benefits.
The sad thing is they just dont get it they want professional drivers and professional drivers wont work for chicken scratch.
Its going to be intresting to see what happens when they have to many routes and not enough drivers. People are leaving ground everyday because real jobs are hiring again.
