[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4724341, member: 12508"] Depends on the market. In some more rural areas, the UPS Feeder Driver is making way more. In fact, even where the FedEx RTD is within $5 per hour from the UPS Feeder driver, the FedEx guy is still way behind if you look at the big picture. One thing big apologists like you never include is overall total compensation. The UPS driver gets excellent insurance, has a solid well-paying pension (around 6-7k per month for a career employee), post-retirement medical at a very reasonable cost, plus union representation, Weingarten Rights etc. These are all things a FedEx employee doesn't have. The Peak bonus is so typical of FedEx. It's another small bone they toss out while keeping top-out times glacial and overall compensation peanuts compared to UPS. It's a well-known (and true) maxim that whatever Fred giveth, Fred taketh away, so somewhere he will get his money back, and then some. Look for even worse insurance or more changes to the joke "retirement". Fred is all about himself and the money, and could give a rat's asz about anyone who works for him, except the UNION pilots, who are treated like gods. As usual,you only present "facts" that support your cheerleader status. Go, Fred, Go!! [/QUOTE]
