Your drivers are making up to $30hr? Have healthcare and a retirement plan?
Cameras installed in Ground vehicles today.

Look, we know how you pay. You pay on a per stop/per piece basis which is nothing more than a modern day reincarnation of post Civil War confederate state share cropping.

I don’t believe the average express driver makes $30/hr

You are wrong.
No I'm not. You allowed to enough information to slip out to let us know what you're doing pay wise.
You ought to know. After all.....you're Fat Freddy's carnival monkey.

This another of your faithful beliefs that has no bearing in reality. Your hatred of FedEx Ground is basically your religion.

I offer health insurance and a 401k.

This has been going on at Express for a year. Eventually, every vehicle will have cameras that can see ahead and can see the driver. As FedEx says, staff has no personal privacy while on duty. Most of our vehicles still don’t have cameras, but that will change as we get new vehicles. I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen very soon.
I’ve been told by other drivers that we’ll be forced to sign a waiver and acknowledge the use of cameras or you will no longer be employed. I haven’t heard anything on this from managers.
I’ve researched a little and found that the cameras aren’t on constantly. If there’s a sudden stop or braking, or if it detects a collision, the camera sends footage of the last 45 to 60 seconds back to big brother.
This will be fun when I drive over a curb or a pot hole.

Like I said; you can make a lot of money as a contractor, if you want to trade in your autonomy. Your direction is scaled, guided and led by another entity to which you must surrender to in order to operate.
Also the insurance I paid was through a company that serviced contractors but the rates etc were paid by my company solely as was registration, maybe different program?
LOL. How many times have we heard the line, "I offer healthcare and 401k' but, once again like all the others you're not telling us who's paying the premiums.
The starting pay on the lowest pay scale is close to $18hr now and top out on the highest pay scale is close to $31 hr I believe. Anyways when you average it all together I'm pretty certain you don't come close. Doubt you even pay $20 hr.

I feel like you're a contractor in my terminal...

At this point it’s pretty common for contractors to offer decent pay, health insurance and 401k’s.

IWBF is a contractor in one of the most expensive metros, Boston I believe. In general, jobs pay better there because living expenses are so high.
Down here in Alabama, ground drivers make a flat $120 a day and commonly work 10 hours. Few have insurance.
