Don't know about FedEx, but chances are the UPS Air Driver job is doing letter box pick ups in the PM. Really easy job. Starts at $11.50 an hour and moves up to $12.50 after gaining seniority. 24 month progression to top rate. Todays top rate $24.74 plus the $.70 raise when the contract is settled. Good chance for extra hours on Sat. unless the job is Tues thru Sat. Benefits after 1 year. including paid Holidays and paid vacation. If you stay long enough you can also collect a pension.

All UPS jobs start off low on the pay side. FT package car drivers start at $16.10 an hour. Our PT air drivers days usually are 3-4 hours long. Not going to make a living on a PT job. Just a chance to make some extra money. Not bad money after the 2 year progression. Ask FedEx if they can match that. Plus the free benefits.

Can you change one of them? Have you read some of the FedEx forums posts? I know you probably not getting the true picture, but you can deem some information from them. If you can make it at the lower pay for a while, I think UPS would be the wiser choice. The UPS job is also probably part time too, but advancement possibilities are better with higher earnings potential. Good luck in your decision.

You might start off at a higher wage but there is no such thing as wage progression at FedEx. As the UPS guys have said that position tops out at more then $24 an hour after 2 years. Which is more than FedEx drivers after 15 - 20 years make. UPS has a real benefits package with no monthly premium. We pay over $400 a month (family) for health ins that will bankrupt you if you have a serious injury or illness. I could go on and on but the bottom line is if you put your time in at UPS you will have a very good paying career vs a dead end job at FedEx.

At the end of this contract period top rate will be closer to $30.00 an hour for a PT Air Driver. Can FedEx match that?

Nope. Not even after 30 years.

How do you figure? I am missing something? Top rate right now is $24.74 plus $.70 raise when contract is settled is $25.44 plus the rest of the yearly contractual raises should be close to $30 an hour.

I mean, FedEx can't and won't match it.

Go with UPS 100%. This is the wisest career choice you can make given the choice you have to make.
Ever heard of UPS ft drivers making as much or more than someone with a masters degree? Well they do, about 1/4 the drivers made at least 100k last year and 1/2 made about 80k, where Im at.

We are not allowed to use that option. Some of us do more then you think. Like getting paid to mow the yard.
