[QUOTE="Mitch, post: 183943"] Was a contractor for 10 years FedEx Ground and sold route few years ago. I had the largest area to cover out of that center. Yep you pay for uniforms, fuel, your package car, all insurances, and for your own utility driver for whenever you need a day off. I had a good area, great customers, but the writing was on the wall. Getting good people to cover for you was very hard, and once you got them trained they didn't stick around very long. We couldn't offer them benefits and most didn't like the long hours. Don't forget when the package car breaks down you pay the towing, repair bill, and this always burned a rental unit. Man talk about working for peanuts when your package car was down. One month I had over $6,000 in repairs. The last few years I netted $50,000 out of a gross of $86,000. I only took off maybe 10 days a year. So today when I driver the UPS car and it breaks down I just grin and say to myself this is so much better I am still getting paid and no repair bill. I am very glad to here at UPS. One last thing the savings for not having to pay for our health insurance. When I was at FedEx Ground you paid for that too. [/QUOTE]
