[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 582016, member: 18716"] Amen, Ricochet hit it right on the head. You want quality but are not willing to pay a fair days wage for a fair days work. I am a former Upser like I said before so my customers get the service they deserve after all I was trained by the best. 13 dollars a hour for a wage is ridiculous in this industry topped off with no benefits no vaction and no sick days. However if you think about it is it really 13 a hour I think not. Doing Kinkos working 65 hours a week for 650.00 sounds like 10 bucks a hour to me. The problem is most contractors are just to cheap to take care of those who pad their pockets. Its not a matter of if but when this scam comes to a end and ground drivers will get theirs. If we work for contractors why is it we are treated like employees by fed ex? We drive a truck that says fed ex we also wear a uniform that does not differ much from express. We have to go to their meetings and if their is a problem its not the contractor that comes to us but fed ex management, If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck hmmm must be a duck [/QUOTE]
