I am way older and have more years. I guess you stayed in the traditional longer than I did. I got out as soon as the Portable started and your best 5 years were probably larger than mine.
My Portable will only be 500 or so a month. I plan on leaving it in the account and drawing 4% even after I retire. That is a very good return.

Like I said, you're too old to make that switch. UPS would break you.

Like he said. He wouldn't go to UPS. He is happy and content with where he is. You should try it sometime.

You're the epitome of a 1%er in the Fedex Realm.
The guys that have 10-15 years in and are making a whopping $2 more than a newhire would probably abandon ship if they had the chance.

At UPS we put up with more bs which is why we get paid more, larger pension and great health Care.

More power to him. I just think it's funny he started a thread to basically say he has it better than a UPS driver. UPS drivers make about $7 more an hour, don't pay for health insurance and their pensions almost double what he's got. But damn they don't have AC. LOL!

Point Blank most FedEx Couriers could never do the job a UPS driver does.
Top pay at FedEx is fair if not generous for the work done.(unfortunately many many do not come close to it)
Top pay at UPS is fair, but possibly low for the work/abuse your body takes.
And if you really break it down to how much you cost per package, based on revenue, both companies are making a killing on you.
Hourly Dollar for Dollar at "TOP OUT" an Express Driver has it made.
Career wise a UPS driver has it made.
Quality of Life during employment Express has it made.
Quality of Life After Retirement UPS wins this one, excellent pension, financially secure.

I agree with everything you said except the first sentence. It should be: Point blank most FedEx drivers would never WANT to do the job a UPS driver does.

Money isn't everything. The fella is happy and content. He insinuated that he made a decent living. What good does it do to work at UPS if you go in at 845 or 9 am and don't get off until 830pm. Quality of life is a consideration. They make 90k a year and never get to see their kids soccer games or school plays because they work too late.
There are plenty of broke UPS workers and Fedex workers. It isn't how much you make, it's what you do with that money.
