[QUOTE="purplesky, post: 1086315, member: 23628"] The real question is how much is FDX paying for their contractor model overall? We hear that ground drivers make $600 to $800 per week on average but how much are they paying the owners of the ground routes? FDX isnt going to release that info so its VERY HARD TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL COST DIFFERENCE PER PACKAGE between UPS and FDX. Lets just cut the crap on this two-tier wage idea. INSTEAD DO A ACROSS THE BOARD PAY CUT($3hr to $5hr) FOR TOP SCALE DRIVERS ON THE STRICT CONDITION THAT THE SAVINGS IS IMMEDIATELY PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMERS AND NOT TO SHAREHOLDERS. I bet FDX ground would love to get in a shipping price war with UPS.:wink2: Think about it. This would force the already really low wages down at FDX and put a $$ squeeze on that contractor scam between owners and drivers. Fred S DOES NOT WANT THIS. I think its great that so many UPSERS on here are freaking out about the FDX ground threat but you need to relax. We are not currently in a critical stage or even close to being not profitable. Besides if all else fails UPS can become the next Amazon and become an online retailer and partner and really change the retail industry. You never know.:wink2: [/QUOTE]
