Ground Driver, Am I Being Underpaid?

[FedGT]

Not a martyr. Maybe you and FedEx GT can start a bromance.

Start???

Uh, FedEx is screwing drivers. Plain and simple. It's slave labor and the last time I checked it is ILLEGAL.

Not illegal in my state or many others in the country that have zero pending litigations.

How is it slave labor? Where else can you make $100 per day for 10-12 hours of work?

It was always my belief that if a person was willing to climb into one of those tin coffins on continous daily basis and go out there and bust his can all day long and often later in all kinds of weather all kinds of roads dealing with good people as well as the dregs of society then whatever they get out of it they can keep and not have to hand it all over to a middle man who in turn gives back what he wants to give him and given the numbers I hear I just don't know how they survive.

Not once has any driver of mine been under the delusion that I didn't profit from their labor. Why would anyone believe me if I even tried to convey such craziness?

 

[bacha29]

What is crazy is the illusion that you pay well.

He has never said that.
