It’s very common. FedEx will pay contingency contractors 2 to 3 times normal rates to clean up the messes they cause by shorting regular contractors.

The still way below what a UPS driver will make

The still way below what a UPS driver will make

Nobody cares. This is well above what a starting UPS driver will make.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Nobody cares. This is well above what a starting UPS driver will make.

What about the benefits?

 

[Hax]

Nobody cares. This is well above what a starting UPS driver will make.

The post isn't asking for a starting FedEx driver though. If you want to compare the two, look at a UPS driver that's two years in. I believe they make $24/hr. This guy wants you to work 6 day per week with 8-10 (?) hour shifts for $1,500. 6 8 hour shifts at UPS is $1,248, 6 10's is $1,680 + benefits + you don't have to uproot your life + much better job security.

Ground unable to find slave labor in Colorado.

Notice the key word.....Temporary. So what they want is for active and qualified drivers in good standing to leave their current contractor and go to work for this operator.
But for how long? You don't know if you're going to be there 2 years, 2 months or 2 weeks..... Then what? You've abruptly got up and walked off from your current contractor.....Do you really think he's going to take you back knowing that you could do it to him again?

And that $100 housing INCENTIVE!. Where out there in high living cost Colorado are you going to find a decent hotel and meals for 100 a day and given how it's worded you don't know what you have to do to qualify for that so called "incentive"

Is this what it's come down to at FDX Ground? Mercenary contractors stealing qualified help from domiciled contractors whose fate is decided by the number of transients and day laborers who show up in the morning. .

Record number of Ground routes for sale 2023 over 600 might be more contingency needed.

Yeah , no it's not. Lol

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Nobody cares. This is well above what a starting UPS driver will make.

Asking for experienced drivers. If a 4-year fedex driver applied then apples to apples says I'd make $3,100+ if I worked 6 - 10s. Plus Cadillac health insurance and $800+ paid into my pension. , it says up to $300 a day? I make more than that if I call in.

People care.

It boggles my mind the mental contortions required for the great, ponderous heads at FedEx to continue this practice when the solution is waaay cheaper, and sooo simple: pay the contractor of the problem area a reasonable settlement.

I must be missing something.

Ground unable to find slave labor in Colorado.

It will not surprise me if in the near future FedEx's hand-held devices will have the ability to be prompted in Spanish.

Preceded by an executive order to grant driver's licenses for the so-called 'labor shortage.'

Problem solved.

An endless supply of disposable stooge labor is here, ready, and waiting.

Now you are going to add Express on trucks when you don’t have drivers to deliver Ground,sounds like a plan, just saw some more Ground trucks for sale in my area. Freddy trying to squeeze short term profits while ignoring the long term results, filling up the cash bags and leaving town. The party is over.

There are entire areas that FedEx has screwed up so badly there are hardly any regular contractors left. Contingency teams come in paying double for drivers and nobody works for the regular contractors. Regular contractors fold up creating the need for more contingency. They can’t even give the contracts away because the labor rates are so messed up.

It’s the direct result of believing the “engineers” that set the compensation rates. Nerds that never leave their desk that can’t admit they’re wrong ever.

$80k/year pace to deliver boxes. I love the out of touch elitist attitudes of the teamsters. Y’all never miss a chance to crap on the working man.

Get real. Remote job. Typically remote work pays way more.
