[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4684703, member: 24302"] Are you saying they're hiding profits? Look at their total payroll costs as percentage of their total revenue. Then look at their profit and show me how they're going to increase pay enough to give couriers comparable to UPS pay(and benefits). It's not a matter of not wanting them to or letting them slide, etc. Out of profit comes dividends and other expenditures. It comes down to how freight is moved. FedEx became more profitable after establishing Ground which in spite of charging less than Express is much more profitable due to trucking freight rather than flying it. FedEx Express is never going to pay like UPS because of its much higher overhead of flying freight. In order for it to pay like UPS it will have to operate like UPS. Get rid of Ground, have everyone in mostly big stepvans in concentrated areas, truck most freight. If you can show us how they can get around that then take it to FedEx and show them. You'd be the first one to figure it out. [/QUOTE]
