[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 413092, member: 12508"] My negative attitudes are a reflection of someone attempting to get a union at FedEx and actually improve things. Also, while I agree that UPS drivers work a bit harder than we do in most cases, that isn't always true. My W900 is just as packed with deliveries as the UPS guy's P1000, and I cover a much wider area. A much higher percentage of my pickups are on-call as opposed to his much higher number of regular house stops. In other words, my pickups are much more variable and harder to plan for. I'm also responsible for a small residential area he doesn't have to deal with. At the end of the day, my truck is just as full as his with outbound. Who works harder? That's debatable, but I know who makes more money. There are lots of areas in the US where FedEx couriers cover much wider areas than their UPS counterparts, so the debate would need to be case by case. In many cases, especially in semi-rural areas, the solo FedEx person has 3 UPS drivers within their coverage area. [/QUOTE]
