In terms of amount of freight most FedEx rts don't compare. But most FedEx rts also have at least several UPS rts within their boundaries. There's only so much a person can do in a day and with greater distances and time pressures the average FedEx courier is under the gun to perform. And in return for that, plus working at least one sort, plus dealing with delayed start times, etc we are expected to just get by with low pay and minimal benefits. Even our Peak is different because even though UPS works hard for Peak, the last few days before Christmas they slow considerably as people rush to get their pkgs delivered on time through FedEx. So they get to enjoy their Christmas while we even work Christmas Day some years. Bottom line if you are trying to justify Ground getting low pay by suggesting we get paid more than we deserve then you truly are not only unfamiliar with what we do but are just as much a businessman as FedEx corporate types who justify stagnate pay and gutted benefits as ok because they were paying us too much anyways. As long as they get their's, and you get your's, all is right in the world, huh?
Should be stagnant, not stagnate.
