[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 980176, member: 22880"] It is what the people actually driving the trucks make. What the contractors make is absolutely irrelevant. Does what an Express manager or UPS manager make have any relevance on what the drivers of the vehicles actually make? Since Ground and Express operate differently, you CANNOT look at what FedEx pays the contractor then divide that up by number of drivers actually working. The comparison is actual driver compensation across the industry. It would be faulty to take the total wage cost to an Express station (including mangers and mechanics), divide that by number of Couriers (controlled for full/part time status) then come up with a figure of compensation per Courier hour worked. For Ground, look at what the "helpers" are paid, NOT route owners under the IC model. Helpers aren't paid dividends - in most cases they are paid a salary and that is it. Express Couriers don't "own" their route (neither do UPS drivers) so attempting to include "dividends" (excess earnings) from a corporation as part of the compensation is a faulty comparison between companies. If Express Couriers "owned" their routes, they'd be getting dividends too from excess earnings. [/QUOTE]
