[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 3523860, member: 8590"] That's irrelevant. I made top rate 20 years ago (1998) when it was $19.76 after 2 years of progression. Now drivers make just shy of that to start. To me it's just a sense of entitlement that new drivers have that think they should earn today what others worked up to after 2-4 years. I was telling my wife one day when I was still in package, I was overhearing two fresh college graduates discuss getting jobs. Entry level jobs to get their foot in the door. I hear the one say, "They want me to start at $15/hr!!!" with the other one following with comments on how great that would be. I kind of scoffed. But when I got home and was telling my wife about it she said, "Yeah, that's what jobs start at or even finish at sometimes." And yet here at UPS we have drivers complaining about making $18.75/hr to start and if they make their 30 days and keep their head above water for 4 years they will make $36+/hr (over $40/hr by the end of the next contract), making more than most college graduates without the debt of a college graduate.
