[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 439260, member: 17605"] I don't get it. You're a cover driver, yet you don't think package car drivers are worth $30 an hour? There is no other delivery company that puts their drivers through the same time commitments than UPS does. FedEX doesn't slap their ground drivers with air that would cause you to break trace to make it on time. They don't even have air on their cars. They have Fed Ex Express for that. DHL HAD their own air drivers as well. If a Fed Ex driver had to run their routes like we do, my guess is they would be overwhelmed. 8.50 is a low starting wage....yeah I guess so, but everyone has to start from the bottom. It's a labor job. There is little or no skill whatsoever involved, so why should UPS pay us more to do an entry level job that doesn't require a serious education to do? And drivers have every reason in the world to complain about their lunches. UPS dispatch is a joke from time to time. UPS signed an agreement about lunches between the 3rd and 5th hour, yet they don't dispatch it so it's feasable. Sounds to me like perfect grounds for bitching. [/QUOTE]
