[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 453067, member: 709"] Having actually worked for both(within the last century(4years)) I can tell you absolutely that Expess Couriers shouldn't make what UPS drivers make based on work load. I can honestly say that top rates are fair, what isn't fair is it can take upwards of 15 years to top out. How does a company expect to keep employees loyal, honest and hard working if they can't keep them around. I was a coverage driver at UPS no real regular route. and I can say without a doubt the easiest route I ran at UPS was twice as hard as any route I've run at FedEx. Here is a good comparison Easy Route at UPS 80 Stops/ 250-300 miles/ 10 hours(+1 lunch) Regular Route at FEDEX 80 stops/45 miles/ 8 hours(+1 lunch) Comparable Route at UPS 260 Stops, 400 pieces, 25 miles, 8 hours (Comparable UPS route geographically) Current Route at FedEx 40 Stops/35 miles <7hrs Now if we were paid based on Revenue, Express should make tons more most of the letters we deliver cost $25-40 to ship Standard Overnight. Doing rough math(really rough) estimate 40 pieces @ $25 ($1000) that is not including heavy boxes, internationals, etc... [/QUOTE]
