[QUOTE="Maple7, post: 1074443, member: 20611"] Mr FedEx does have some good points. One thing you have to factor in though is their operating costs are a little higher then they first appear. Yeah the driver may only be making 10 to 15 bucks an hour with no benefits but don't forget the contractor in the middle. Some of those guys make bank. I bet the driver gets about half the gross pay while the contractor collects the other half plus daily van availability, sweet bonuses and gas reimbursement. You also have to remember Fedex has to pay for 3 trucks to enter each neighborhood and overlap each other (express, ground and HD). That's a lot of extra baggage and liability driving around. With that said though UPS provides a far superior service and their efficiency to get the job done is 2nd to none. Ground is an area we will definitely have to maintain are dominance in and will so with the hard work of the teamsters. All you brown guys keep submitting those sales leads and hopefully make some extra cash doing it:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
