[QUOTE="browned out, post: 376487, member: 8105"] The $32 dollars an hour works out to be less money per stop and per package than FED EX gets. We do make a good wage because we are the most efficent(stops per hour, pieces per hour, etc) but UPS still makes the highest margins in the industry. The part time wage is a joke. Most of these part-timers can work at Starbucks with benifets and air conditioning or Taco Bell with free food. $8.50 hr will keep em here for what? a week maybe; alot of them will quit on the first day. If you honestly think that UPS will not grow and swallow up more companies (parts of DHL and/or TNT) ; you are surely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Shopping over the internet will grow at an astounding rate over the next 5 to 10 years. Now in the US the average age of the internet shopper is 45 and below. Most peoples grandparents don't have a computer; let alone shop on the internet. I am 38 and will shop on the internet til I'm 70 or better. Think of how these population demographics will affect our industry. Key idea THINK Resi deliveries will get to be very profitable as the density of stops is concentrated. CHItown my kind a town. Go get em [/QUOTE]
