IF you could be a FedEx Driver for one day

[UndressedFedexed]

How would your day be different than working at UPS?

 

[...]

Drive with bulkhead door open all day. Park, nose-in, in driveways. Park on the wrong side of the road.

Come home to a smaller house

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Have to wait in line until the UPS drivers delivers the stop.

 

[PASinterference]

Leave packages in the driveway and out in the rain.

Not including the bulkhead door, I’ve seen UPS drivers doing that also.

You would at least be treated like a human being.

Be done by 12:00 with no sweating a/c set on 62.

Nope.

I came from Express and knew ground peeps. 1 ground guy told me his daily schedule(12 hrs) and then said he gets $150 per day. Regardless of volume. Regardless of anything.

Express is better cuz you at least get hourly pay, so OT, but they push the DOT limits every single day to not hire loaders or sorters. All you can do is quit, cuz no union. And, there is zero pay progression. I was stuck at $20/hr for 2 years and would have been indefinitely besides fake, based on inflation, raises we got some years.

The one positive was that you loaded and sorted your own stuff so your delivery day went smoother.

I was talking about Express and I meant in comparison to how UPS treats people.

Well, you got the AC setting right anyway.

My arms would hurt all day from opening and closing the side door

If I was a FDX Air Driver, I’d watch out for guys carrying spear guns and hammers onboard.
