Ups vs. FedEx ground "hd"

[1Simplemann]

You guys are hijacking the thread. The OP asked for the differences. Nobody actually broke them down for him. I figured he ought to know that we make 5-6 times what he does for doing the same job. He should get a seasonal job at UPS, get a foot in the door and make some real money. a buddy did the same thing. His one Fe G route was like 8 of ours so the transition was easy for him. Best decision of his life financially. Let see if the OP responds. No more arguing please.

So your prediction is for everyone to take a pay cut? Because if top rate is lower then therfore everyone takes a pay cut. Stop sniffing glue

Did I say that? The changes would only affect new FT hires and would take several contracts before taking full effect.

Yes, yes you did.

with a lower starting and top out rate.

Lower top out rate means pay cut
TTKU, or I guess try to remember what you post

"Lower top out rate" does not in any way imply that current FT drivers would take a pay cut.

It is called a two tiered wage system, something you boys had better get used to.

Then maybe you should have clarified that in your OP.
Only thing we should get used to is your being wrong more than you are right

Maybe I should be a TV weatherperson.

I was thinking more along the lines of a can collector

Lol, i did get what upstate conveyed in his OP... newer, incoming UPS drivers will have a lower and longer progression to top rate than the previous & current drivers... they're not screwing u guys like what Fred S did to the legacy Express drivers

So back on topic, the only other similarities with UPS vs Fedex HD are going to have Tues to Sat work week.

but UPS drivers are still limited to 60 hours a week, while FX HD still has a cap of 70 hours, unless they're driving a van that's under 10k gvw... then we can work until midnight & forget the HOS rules? ?? Is that what this ground division trying to pull?

RB, Seriously? Did I say one thing to you? Or even direct it at you. I was just trying to keep the thread on topic.

I am truly sorry, please accept my appology.

That was good. May I borrow this? I'm sure I will need it later.

ron says that to everyone. It's like a term of affection or saying hello.

Calm down Nancy.

I was mocking Ron, not getting upset. Unlike Mr. Burgandy???, my testicles have descended and I can take an insult. Ron? He gets upset whenever anyone hurts his feelings. If I'd told him to blow it out his ass (which I would never, ever do), Ron would be whining to the mods.

 

[Route 66]

It is really not at all acceptable to tell someone to blow it out their ass.


'Expel it by way of your bum' is much more polite.

Accepted but dude you gotta chill. We're on the same side.

I am the OP. I would love to get a job at UPS as a driver. I just can't afford to be a package handler. 3 kids and a mortgage with bills is expensive. So how could I get hired off the street? With those benefits and retirement along with union security sounds great!

If you really like the job, you can always apply at ups. If they need drivers they'll hire off the street. I believe they have a waiting list as well so you can stay at Ground until they call you.
