[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 710161, member: 24302"] On the other hand don't UPS drivers in New York make the same as drivers in Omaha, a considerably cheaper city? FedEx has 7 payscales, however they aren't applied evenly. Some very expensive cities have lower pay than others. I think $25hr is very fair for areas with the lowest payscale. People on the coasts should get more. And while UPS drivers certainly earn their pay, don't think FedEx couriers always have it much better. We unload containers, load our trucks, and our rts are configured to try to max out productivity. I've run rts that were more difficult than UPS rts in that area. And I've seen FedEx rts that were jokes compared to UPS rts. The average UPS driver IMO does work harder, but not all FedEx rts are equal. When I was starting at 1000, loading hundreds of boxes in 107 degree humid heat on the Mexican border, taking lunch after 8 p.m., off by 10:30 p.m., making around $13hr for 2 years, pretty certain the UPS guys didn't envy me.
