[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 858589, member: 33696"] well some Ground drivers are also getting paid by the package; that's how they get more $ than HD... and your HD contractor gets a package bonus for the same stop (eventhough you'll just get $1.4o for that stop) agree that Ground do get paid more vs. HD; a contractor i knew ran both & Ground is more chaotic, hence the slightly higher pay (some stops are bulk stops & they'll be unloading for a good 1/2 hour or more) what I do like about HD over Ground is that HD has a printed manifest of ALL of your parcels in your van & in somewhat of a good order of delivery + a map printout as well. I also like the fact that a manager can re-sequence my package order to what I see fit ~ to maximize my stops-per-road-hour since we don't get paid an hourly rate like Express I haven't been to ground lately; do they finally have a similar delivery manifest printout and at least a map overview? I know that they have some newer style scanners now, similar to regular FedEx express... I have a shore route recently & yesterday was terrible (4 hours to get to my 1st stop, which normally takes 1.5 hours). it was a light load, but the 2 hour drive back to the terminal is making me think to get a salary rate instead of getting paid by the stop in my case. PS: that's not a bad deal... your area is "tight." i only average 10-12 stops per hour with light traffic. [/QUOTE]
