[QUOTE="LED, post: 614166, member: 22664"] friend/t drivers do make good money. Ups is saving money by paying the p/t people a lot less. They have also delayed their benefits. UPS starts off their p/t people at $8.50/hr here, and Fedex starts their p/t people at $11/ hr (so I have been told). The on car sups in my center never drove, but came into full time management from being p/t sups. It is very likely that they do not make as much as I (friend/t pkg) do per year. Management also pays for part of their healthcare, so that defrays a lot of costs. I think that money will be an issue at some point. If the law changes, and fedex brings their drivers up close to UPS pay then it may not be an issue. As far as replacement drivers the advances in the diad would make it easier. Let's be honest here. There are not many people that will work as hard as a UPS driver day after day. I have seen many people wait for years to go driving and quit after a week, saying "life is too short to do this job" . I have also seen many people be disqualified because they just can not do the job, or they run into something. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
