[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 201723, member: 709"] Lets see I've sat in both trucks(currently FedEx Express) First off the one major difference is pay..nobody touches UPS pay rates. At UPS(U):this data will vary depending on area) FedEx(E) I'll try to cover a few areas of interest: Hiring: U: Check for pulse, background check(if a driver) E: Extensive Application(lots of forms etc) Extensive person to person interviews Training: U: Inside, pretty basic, but thrown right into work first day(thats fine really U: Driver, 7 day course, covers driving and delivery, some on road training adaquate E: Courier(driver) 2 Day intensive Defensive driving course, 10 day intensive courier course. Daily Work day U: Start at 9:15, on road 10:00, work 9-10 hours brings you home well after dinner time daily. E: Start at 7-8 load your own truck, on the road by 9:30, done work at 5:30pm daily Thats all I have for now... I really liked working for UPS when I was there, unfortunately where I was located seemed to have some issues that were unable to be resolved by management(they really couldn't make any decisions... IE does that daily during the phone calls) why some drivers would be done daily at 4pm while others were out till 9pm or later daily with no changes(even with greivences) I enjoy working for Express now, employees interact, manager is very approachable, the kind of person you wouldn't mind playing golf with. Yeah the pay is less, but so is the stress and workload... [/QUOTE]
