[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3617285, member: 60252"] You are basing your negativity off fedex ground. The payment seems to be based on more than just package pay. If they include mileage pay, in a formula similar to old core zone pay, you can still make money. I made money even on days I drove 350 miles with 30 stops. Condensed areas with low core zones actually needed volume, and suffered when volume was low. But when hiring drivers, when volume is low in condensed areas, the driver will work fewer hours, if you keep tight reins on clock milking. Without seeing the actual pay formula, mileage and and volume expectations, there is ZERO way to make a judgement. And with 40 routes, and a seven day schedule, a capable manager should be able to work the schedule so drivers only work a couple Sundays in a row, or you could pay more for less optimal hours. Most of you posting negative are solely caught up in how fedex operates. And the info seemed to indicate that the variation from earning $75k to $300k was based on having 10 routes versus 40. Managing 10 routes seven days a week to earn $75k is maybe going to be more problems than making $300k with 40 routes. All the extra drivers gives you a lot more flexibility and redundancy. Paying an extra manager is going to be easier with the 'extra' $225k. [/QUOTE]
