[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 846219, member: 18471"] Fedex Express drivers work for the company and the company owns the trucks and pays for the fuel etc. I was told by the driver who services my area the pay was about $5 an hour less than UPS. Fedex Ground and Home drivers are "independent contractors" (or whatever they are called) sometimes 1 person owns more than 1 truck and employs someone to drive one or all their trucks. In my area they seem to advertise on Craigslist looking for drivers, the ads state a SALARY ( not hourly pay) of $600 a week with NO benefits. They also advertise for tractor trailer drivers, (I would guess the equivalent of feeder drivers for ground/home operations) stating "must pull doubles, nite work, home everday, dedicated routes". If I recall they offer about $1000. a week, again NO benefits. In my area Fedex's Express terminal and the nearest Fedex Ground terminal are in 2 different towns about 25 miles apart. I have no idea what the package handler pay is, or benefits, but I believe Express no longer has a defined benefit pension, just 401K. Isn't BBSAM a Fedex ground contractor? Maybe he could chime in.
