[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 457066, member: 12508"] I'm going to agree with TesticularFortitude, and say that in an urban station/center where everyone drives a walk-in, there isn't much of a difference. I'm in a FedEx station with 100+ routes, and it runs just like a UPS center, including having 5 straight trucks just to do bulk stops. You [I]do[/I] more physical work because your routes are tighter and you have more pkgs, which also means you're in and out of the package car more often. But in a big city location, it's pretty close. I get planty of 100# pkgs and a bunch of 150# stuff every day, and my truck is 100% bulked-out every day(W-900). Bottom line is we [I]are [/I]underpaid relative to UPS, especially when you include benefits(or lack thereof) in the equation. NewEnglander aside, the rest of you have no point of reference because you have not worked at Express, especially now that the screws have been tightened all the way. It sucks...badly. [/QUOTE]
