[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 614855, member: 14940"] I live in Santa Clara County in the San Fransisco Bay Area, and let me tell you out here our wages are average at best. That said I would be the first to say that our pay is outstanding! For 30 dollars we get paid to take a package from the shelf of a truck to a porch, not bad if you ask me. As far as Fed-Ex is concerned, they are slow as well. My brother works for ground and they are slower then we are from what I can see. UPS can control cost by elliminating routes if needed and pulling stops from from one route to another. Well at Fed-Ex Ground thier routes are indivisual businesses that run regardless if its 100 stops or 50 stops. By the way not all ground drivers get paid the same, my brother gets $700 a week flat! No benefits no vacation and no sick days, also no overtime. The wage disparity is so great over at Ground that as a result they have high turn-over and have zero employee loyalty. So you could say that they are on the opposite side of the coin of us. So in closing I would like to say that I believe that the vast majority of us are very thankfull of what we have and what we get, and as a company we would all do what was best for the long-term viabillity of UPS.
