[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 973492, member: 33696"] no bbsam, they're either salary (flat rate per day) or by the stop if the driver's service area is close to the terminal (5-30 minutes away). No OT for them at all... I did saw some temps-to-contractor drivers got smart and did both Flat rate salary up to 130-150 stop ceiling, then "per stop" for any additional parcels that the contractor "flexed" on to his / her route. The ones with over 200 stops per day can take it because they're the "runners-gunners" so to speak; until they sprain an ankle or worse... then i jump in to cover 'em. being a Saturday driver for now for 2 different terminals until summer gives me other options of income (under-the-table drivng jobs, internet sales, etc...) If i do things by the book, to the T, i know that i'll be pushing 15 stops per on road hour in a suburbia environment... so its above minimum wage, but below a comparable ups driver's wage. others say that's not bad in our part of the state since they do about the same & i'm only the swing/cover driving other peoples' routes semi-blind. at Fedexaminer, a contractor pays his drivers "load/sort time" of 1.5 hours each day. If that contractor was in my hub, i'll probably be working for him because at least i'm sort of compensated that way if i ever have a late or delayed dispatch. [/QUOTE]
