[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1505144, member: 24302"] The point is that you keep saying Express is no big deal, anyone can do it. But many have come and gone because most don't want to do what's demanded of them. You're Ground, correct me if I'm wrong but whatever comes in on the truck that morning gets unloaded and sorted by your handlers. Then the drivers come in and get their manifests and get on their way. True? At Express we don't know, especially in winter, from day to day whether we'll start on time as plane is often late. While they'll give us more time to make P1 del's if the plane is late we'll still be expected to get our work done and be back in time to get outbound loaded and truck launched on time. And we're the ones in many stations that are unloading all that freight in the morning. I unloaded cans in my late 40's for almost 4 years, in high heat with humidity and in the cold. And in many stations the couriers handle the reload too. I wasn't aware Ground had time commitments, do you do 1030 like most of the country for Express? I've no doubt many Ground drivers work hard, but I don't think it's the same animal Express is. P.S. When I was 27 I delivered 19 stops in 24 mins in a 36 story building I had never been in. Many of us back then worked very hard because we thought FedEx was a company that would take care of us if we took care of it. I wonder how many Ground drivers go that extra mile for $12-$14hr and no benefits? [/QUOTE]
