[QUOTE="Hate 150lb Packages, post: 1201081, member: 48257"] I'll try to give you some non negative advice. The reason contractors break it down like that is, in my opinion, to pay you even less than the standard salary for a Ground driver. Pay per package looks good on the surface, but your numbers are slightly less than the going rate for a Ground driver in my area, which is a yearly salary of $33,000 - $34,000. As far as Ground contractors go, he sounds about average. There isn't enough disparity in the numbers to warrant looking for a salaried position. The time off sounds nice. Here's what you need to look at: Forget the pay per package and all that crap...How many hours per day are you working? What is the morale of the other drivers? If you can't find any other work, I'd take the job. IF you can find some other entry level work, even if it's 10-20% less, take it. Look for something with upward mobility. FedEx Ground has none. Don't be swayed by promises of insurance either, you can get better on your own. He doesn't sound bad as far as contractors go, but he's certainly not going to pay you a living wage. Pick the minds of the other drivers. That's where your answer lies. [/QUOTE]
