[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 788610, member: 14940"] Interesting topic you guys are talking about. At UPS we have contractual expenses incurred by UPS every year of a contract. When my customers ask about our rate increases I have a long list of reasons why they do or don't go up. There is no guessing or wondering about rates, I see first hand every Friday why we charge what we do. I was recently talking with this Express driver and they were explaining the pay structure at Express, she was amazed that we have a National pay structure and that give or take 75 cents we all make the same. Apparently you Express drivers in areas of low cost of living, make much much less then your counter parts in more expensive areas. So there is another question for you to ponder, why it is that cost to ship to rural areas is actually more expensive, but apparently the drivers make so much less? I guess they are just not worth as much to the company as other drivers. [/QUOTE]
