[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 980181, member: 22880"] The cost of labor when comparing across companies is solely dependent on what EMPLOYEES make, not what owner-operators make. It would be akin to comparing what an owner-operator of a semi truck made to what an employee of a trucking company made. They both do the exact same thing on the road, but the owner-operator assumes the added responsibility of maintaining their vehicle and potentially looking for additional business. I know what the employees at Ground make and I know the national average. You cannot make an apples to oranges comparison across different models. Take what you pay one of your helpers, add in the cost of any benefits you provide them, divide that by the number of hours they actually work, and you have your answer as to what they are effectively compensated. What FedEx pays you as a contractor has absolutely NOTHING to do with calculating what actual pay is for someone driving your trucks that don't "own" part of the business. [/QUOTE]
