[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3271013, member: 24302"] But UPS trucks most of it's freight. It's mostly why FedEx has gotten more profitable, the Ground division is just cheaper to run. Don't you think if anyone should get more pay it should be Ground drivers? And you aren't really addressing the overhead issue. If FedEx shells out about half of it's gross $60 Billion in payroll, and after all expenses it has about $3 Billion in profit, how can it possibly pay its couriers, the single largest group of employees by far, comparable pay to UPS? Again if any one group at FedEx should be receiving better pay it's the Ground drivers. No, they aren't employees, but FedEx should give more to the contractors and require them to use it to pay their employees more. If you are against workers in China getting slave wages so that we can have cheap stuff here, then certainly you would be happy with the current pay plan if it will enable FedEx to pay decent wages to the Ground drivers. Right? [/QUOTE]
