[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5540429, member: 24302"] There was a time when couriers had to know something about haz and international deliveries. More to it than just schlepping boxes. FedEx simplified the job with technology to where the customer pretty much handled all the requirements which freed up the courier to handle more stops. More productivity, less employees. But here's the thing about what you're saying. Those "entitled" couriers are just people trying to take care of their families, have a future. Your drivers only have a future if they work very long hours and sacrifice. They don't have medical so every day is a roll of the dice. They don't have the better pay. Express was, if no longer, about the employee having something for themselves too. Ground is about guys like you being rewarded along with the company. The drivers are cannon fodder. Exploited for your benefit. I can see why you think couriers are entitled. That's money going to them that you think should be going in your pocket. [/QUOTE]
