[QUOTE="705red, post: 429652, member: 5229"] Your right about the starting wages sucking, but if your interested in going full time it doesn't take that long to move up at least in these neck of the woods (before the economy tanking). A ptimer starting at $8.50 can be making $16.10 in a year driving a trk topping out at $32.30, while the FedEx employee moves up to $20 plus an hour. As a union employee you have rights and are considered a just cause employee versus the at will employee you would be working at FedEx! The difference between the two you ask? FedEx can fire you for almost anything, while the union has spelled out guidelines. When you do get your medical in a year, you will see it was worth the wait! Ups spends alot of money on these benefits and now your family will receive these in 18 months from hire compared to 36 months from seniority. Big difference in time lengths. this is not a job(ptime) that you would try and raise a family on or pay a mortgage, its ptime. Many of us worked two and three jobs while ptime to get this opportunity for years, now its yours with little or no time investment on your part. Just my two cents! [/QUOTE]
