[QUOTE="bartmuley, post: 857643, member: 35579"] Dude, what is your problem? As far as FDX not being a good place for a handler.....I've worked at both UPS and Fed Ex. When I was working at UPS I made 8.50 and hour. I was hired at Fed Ex right after I quit UPS....I started out at 11.87 an hour. The benefits for PTers are about the same. Insurance will run the guy about 15 bucks a week at Fed Ex. Union Dues (and I never saw any benefit for PTers from the Union, I never even saw a union rep when I worked at UPS) were I believe about 8 or 9 bucks a week. Of course that was after they reamed you for the first month or so until they got their initiation fee. It does seem like if you're willing to bust your ass for 8-9-10 bucks an hour at UPS for many years (I was told it was about a 7 year wait for a FT position in Indy) that the FT positions are better, but the guy has just said he's interested (at least for now) in a handler position. And really, having worked for both companies for a PT worker Fed Ex (at least here in Indy) is a lot better than UPS. So good luck OP, hopefully you get the position. Here in Indy you don't even have interviews, they just call you, tell you to come in and fill out a 10 year history, do a drug test and a background check and if you pass that, you're in. [/QUOTE]
