I'm surprised all the ground drivers don't quit during the holidays and just become PVDs for UPS would be a big step up in paycheck for them
The compassion of others..do they know she makes 100k???????

What are you talking about? Pick it up here. Haul it over there. Put it down some place else. The only difference is pay and that came thanks to favorable legislation and a unified labor force willing to stick together. All of which happened decades before you showed up the UPS front door with hat in hand asking for a job.

Lolol. Lots of jealous FredEx drivers. Nobodies holding a gun to your head to stay at FredEx. Apply at UPS.

People can give all they want. Who cares?

Your right, people can give all they want. It's just that I'd bet the donors had no idea how much bank she's making. She's been topped out for over 20 years. It would be like donating to a lawyer who had a damaged roof. If you found out afterwards that he or she was a lawyer you'd be asking yourself why that person needed help. So I guess my point was someone making probably $100K a year getting financial help for a roof seems a bit tacky.

You have no clue what the workload at UPS is like, do you?

Ok. So for comparison purposes show us the stop count numbers of BOTH a UPS driver and a FXG box mule.
I knew that you and I had something in common. Thank you for identifying it.

Small package drivers have a choice coming either jump to UPS with a real contract or become a fast food no benefits employee for Ground. FedEx has already told the drivers they are going Last Mile Optimization meaning the last mile P2 and sos freight will be delivered by Ground it will be an economic lesson they should have learned in school.

I don't believe SOS is going LMO. There is plenty of work for Express drivers if what you read on here is correct. Anyone that believes the days of Express drivers are numbered are kidding themselves.

Barely made 30 at express the first 8yrs... broke 40k at 10yrs. First year at UPS I hit 50k Peak at UPS I got tons of gifts from customers, PEAK at FedEx we get yelled at for our service... and some stale donuts.

I always make it a point to ask the fed ex guy how many stops he has. Its always 1/2 - 2/3 of the stops I have. On every route/area that I've seen them.
They seem content with less work & less money. It's just a different ball game IMO.
No one would do a ups workload for fedex wages & ups knows this.

The Express guy is probably covering the same area as yours and two other routes. The Ground guy is probably covering two of your routes area too.
You can’t do as many stops when you’re covering 2 or 3 times the area. That’s the logistical conundrum that FedEx upper management can’t seem to grasp.

Um. So why does anyone work for FedEx?

That's true & I was going to add that in as well. But some of these fed ex guys talk about going home between deliveries & pickups for 2-3 hours. I guess if you move fast you can do that. Some of them just drop anchor all day & chit chat with customers @ every stop. It's just a different atmosphere.
What made them think she didn't have money for a new roof is the big question. Is she out there complaining to customers she can't afford it? If so screw her. If they donated because they heard about her roof and appreciated her service so much that they donated then good for her.
The UPS driver in my area works his ass off. IDC if he's making 100k a year, he earns it. He's out here in a 26 foot box truck still delivering after I've been home for 6 hours.

Not sure what time you start but where I was, UPS started work about 4 hrs after we did. We both worked about the same amount of hrs but they did theirs on the back end, we did ours on the front end.
