You think the average express driver is making $29/hr?
Depends on what part of the country you are in. If you’re 12 to 15 years in you are topped out. Top out ranges from $27.50 to about around $33 an hour plus benefits. I know the swings at my station who are topped out are over $32 an hour. We have a lot of senior employees at my station including me who are all topped out. We have a guy who is still a courier with a 4 digit employee number who started in Memphis in 1977.He kills it every day.

Whatever you say buddy. One of us runs a successful company and the other couldn’t hack it. Things have changed since day 1, you couldn’t keep up and suckered some fool to pay you while you sit on your rear forcing someone else to work.
Sorry to have exposed you and the con you've been running here. Trying to make the others believe that your TOTAL compensation package is in line with what the major carriers are paying their top quality performers.
 

It will be fine

The only thing you’ve exposed is your own ignorance. My compensation is not in line with UPS. It is very much in line with Express.

So I see that you can't accept yourself for what you are. Then again you would no doubt be terrified if you were to do that. It's probably a good thing that you didn't because your Mom would have to let you sleep in her bed because of all the nightmares you would be having.

Hmm. You raise an interesting point. How about I sleep with your mom instead? Wouldn't look as bad. I hope.

Now if you want to waste your Sunday's sitting in a pew listening to a bible thumper with a preacher's license and a high school diploma telling you what he expects you to believe regarding a piece of ancient text compiled by a power threatened monarch in an attempt to keep his illiterate subjects under control.....please cherish the experience.

We don't live in the jing weeds. Our preachers aren't like you. They have real edjumacations and everything.

if ignorance is the ability to think for ones self sufficient to enable them to be comfortable with their own mortality without needing the assistance of an unqualified, poorly educated preacher then I'm as ignorant as it comes.

My pastor has both a Masters of Divinity and a Doctorate of Divinity. He's the expert on the issue. You can be the expert on ignorance.

If the wages were insufficient I wouldn’t have employees. .

He's going to flood you with stats and theory and ignorant speculation and his "uphill both ways in the snow" spiel that he works into every topic, none of which can overcome your above statement that anyone who's had 25 minutes of a labor econ class knows.

If you're sufficiently staffed without much turnover and the work is being done to your satisfaction, you're providing a fair market wage. Don't know why he can't grasp that.

My turnover could be lower. This is my first year with health insurance. We’ll see if it’s as big of a retention incentive as people think. I have my doubts, but it was a raise without the payroll tax liability. Time will tell.

But you're a GROUND contractor. Now look you are simply a tool being used by XG to hold down wages and benefits . If you had to pay the same rates and benefits as the OTHER ground carrier not only would you not make any money you would no longer be the useful tool you currently are to your one customer master.

If you say so.

He can have all of the on line, for profit college degree's he wants but he still can't MAKE me accept HIS interpretation of a historical text. You on the other appear to be a person who was taught the fear of Jesus early in life . It obviously made a deep and lasting impression in your psyche and that's what it's designed to do . it's all about mind and behavior control.

Because the customer is not asking for it and you’re offering a service Express does not offer. Packages go through the system to be delivered with the service and price that Express offers. You’re not paid for what you wanna do you’re paid for what the customer has asked Express to do.

But he doesn't have to pay the same rates and benefits, therefore the rest of your point -such as it is- is moot.

He went to a real one. Long before online ones were a thing. Keep trying.

Christianity does not teach a fear of Jesus. That's your unique interpretation of a historical text that not only isn't supported by the letter or the spirit of the text, but it's just stupid and doesn't make any sense.

Now would be a good time to put that shovel down.

Customer paid to have Express deliver the package no later than 1030 the following day. Doing so eliminated a potential RDL, eliminated the potential for it being missorted to the wrong route, reduced the potential for damage to the package, provided a positive impact on the SQI, and did so with virtually no marginal increase in labor hours.

Given the crass and indignant remarks you post here the one thing it doesn't teach you is humility which makes it quote clear that you don't attend church seeking salvation but rather to find some guy who will reaffirm your self righteousness. And in your sorry case you actually have to pay some guy to do it.

I’ve gotten flak for doing it because the package never went through a scanner to get weighed.
