[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 347170, member: 12508"] How do you know what position I hold at FedEx? I could be a lot higher in the FedEx pecking order than you think. It's presumptious to say you out-earn either myself or anyone from UPS. I'm glad you're happy with FedEx, but you are absolutely at odds with most Ground employees and/or contractors I know. On the Express side where I work, most people are furious with the way they're being treated. That includes management. Once again, you've dodged my request to determine what you pay your drivers per hour. Like I said before, it's probably not much, because the Ground contractors I know say they cannot afford to fairly compensate their drivers. $10-$12 per hour (again,with no benefits) is the going rate around here. That qualifies as exploitation in my book. Another contractor tactic is to pay a flat rate salary per week. The poor bastard driver works 65 or 70 hours a week for a flat $650 or $700 per week. Again, pure exploitation. Maybe that's why most of the Ground drivers I see look like derelicts, with scraggly beards, multiple tatoos, untucked shirts, and biker boots that go perfectly with their baggy, ill-fitting shorts. I guess you get what you pay for. Drivers like these really impress the customer, don't they? You sound just like the kind of contractor Fred wants. You're willing to work the hell out of people, pay them a pittance, and then pocket some "big money" by delaying vehicle maintenance and cutting corners wherever you can in order to turn a minimal profit. I've been around FedEx long enough to know that Ground is a skinflint, second-rate operation full of cretins (look it up) like you who will screw their people into the ground (no pun intended) for a dime.
