[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 429613, member: 12508"] FedEx Ground starts at about $13 to $14 per hr, with [B]zero[/B] benefits, and is generally what the "contractor" is willing to pay you to drive for them. FedEx Express starts at around $14.50 per hour or so depending on the market, with a mediocre benefits package....these folks are actually employees. Both of the above positions are for drivers...I'm not sure what Hub handler rates are. I [I]do[/I] know that handlers get very limited hours and that Express Ramp Handlers make more than Ground Handlers. If you stick it out at UPS, someday you'll be making $28 per hour or so on a package car with a [I]real [/I]retirement package that you can actually live on when you stop working. The problem at FedEx is that there is very little wage progression, unlike UPS, where you will eventually be making some serious money with a good benefits package. The FedEx benefits are lousy, and it takes around 10 years to "top-out" in terms of wages. We've been abused in so many different ways that I don't have space to list all of them, but suffice it to say that a union is an absolute necessity at FedEx. [/QUOTE]
