[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 788497, member: 18716"] I wish for the best of my Express counter halfs. I know all the drivers in my area and they are great men and women. What I wonder is they are raising rates for all entities of FedEx by 4.9 % and I hope you guys get your due reward, but with Smith I am sure it will not happen. My question is with the rate change at Ground where does the money go. I already know Contractors get paid per stop, per package thats delivered and picked up. They get a advertising rate for us driving around with FedEx on the side of the truck and for wearing it on the required uniform. They also get I believe its a extra dollar for every signature we obtain however if that is indeed the contract that they are under it won't change. Where does it go it dosen't go to any of the drivers as they don't pay us or supply benefits. If they pride themselves on being a cheaper ground option why raise rates why not leave them where they are currently and try and corner the market, That would make more sense to me. Does it all go in Smiths pocket or does he use what he makes from Ground on the Express side. If he does use it on the Express side why does it take 20 years for you guys to top out? The only diffrence in the shipping is about 70 cents and most people I know prefer the quality of UPS than that of Ground. [/QUOTE]
