FedEx Express starting pay is way less than UPS (like $5/hr less to start).  2. FedEx Express takes anywhere from 10 to 20 years to top out their drivers, while UPS does it in less than 4 yrs.  Salaries are usually the biggest expense for a company.  3. FedEx Ground uses a subcontractor model where FedEx doesn't pay any benefits or retirement.  FedEx should be making way more money.  I understand FDX has a fleet of aircraft, but so does UPS.  What am I not taking into consideration?  I just don't get it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
