600 a week is a good jobPeak is peak, on our 6th one. Its primarily the new contractors and with ISP and 5 PSA minimum (well not PSA now but you know what I mean), these newbies are ill prepared, not only that, the drivers will typically demand more pay with the new owners coming in. The crap and sizes of boxes we are being asked to deliver, for 17 cent, LOL, is ridiculous. I drive much more than I would like, driving tomorrow, friday and Monday of course so I feel the drivers pain.
Its not just Frisco, its any over priced congested area where rent is through the roof in Cali. My buddy is Fresno who is up helping in SF in hopes of getting some routes does not have this issue back home. He makes approx 10% less across the board then we but housing is around 700 a month. Almost all his drivers are over 5 years working. Fedex is a career, its a good job there They make 600 a week but again, do the math.
As our UPS guy said, its simple economics. When your total income is going to housing and gas and your on obozocare and you have no free cash flow, what incentive is there?
There has to be a COST OF LIVING adjustment for metropolitan areas with high rises. If I drove where I grew up, which happens to be in Northern Cali and I made 600 a week, I could probably own a house and rent currently is 800-900 a month for a house, NOT 3-4k
And this is 2014 data, add another 15% for 2015.
