[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1105306, member: 24302"] So when we at Express 10 years from now are averaging $22hr you expect Ground drivers to still be making $13-$15hr? Since being rehired 14 years ago my pay has gone from $10.85 to $18.17hr. But only increased $1.42hr in the last 5 years. Thus my theory that pay for Express will be held down while Ground will eventually increase until it's at or near par with Express. But both will see increases because they will lose too many people otherwise. Inflation has greatly increased costs since I was rehired. I'd have to look at the inflation calculator put out by the government but my $18.17hr would be the equivalent of $12something in 1998 when I was rehired. They can't hold down pay if drivers can get easier jobs that pay as much and may offer benefits of some sort. Doesn't mean they'll pay them big money, but as Ground greatly increases profits look for them to kick some of it back to keep drivers happy, or at least if not happy they'll stay. I'm not happy with $18.17 but it's enough for me to stick around and get by. At least I get to drive in mountain scenery all day instead of working in an office. [/QUOTE]
