[QUOTE="GROUNDIsAHugeSCAM, post: 1204272, member: 48213"] 650 is a good number for a Ground driver. I wouldn't count on it being so high. It could be as STXFGHJKL stated, where you receive per package, or it could be for something like a weekly/monthly bonus for no complaints, accidents, or disputed deliveries. Either way, it is marginal. I'd cut your number in half. Best case scenario is an extra 100 or 200 bucks a month, if that. Don't go in blind. Are you doing Ground or HD? Ride with the drivers. Ask them questions. Contractors are usually full of doodoo. The only ones I would trust with any reliable information are owner/operators... meaning contractors who own one route and drive one route. The others will blow smoke to get you on board, then they will ride you for $$$$$$, especially right before and during peak. BBSAM, you are better than this. All blue collar workers are exploited to some extent. However, many jobs pay hourly wages, overtime, and offer some form of benefits and maybe even a retirement. Most Ground contractors pay little more than minimum wage and offer no benefits. The difference in exploitation between Ground and other average entry level jobs is not small, it is a huge gaping chasm. I'd rather be exploited by the hour with some health insurance. That was a rhetorical statement by the way, I get paid rather well by FedEx for doing nothign but clacking on a keyboard and eating various fried foods all day, and I have benefits. I need coverage in case I have a heart attack. [/QUOTE]
