[QUOTE="Dorkus, post: 3807969, member: 47598"] That is correct for UPS but Fed-Ex (at least in SW OKC area) are contract workers and not FE employees. I talked to one once about his job because I thought it was a great gig for someone. He pointed out the small writing on the side of the truck which said something like "Operated by XYZ delivery services". I have since started looking and every FE truck in my area says that on it. UPS does not but FE does. He said he didn't get paid squat and is only doing the job to keep in shape. He was a young guy and said the drivers for FE that are the contractors like him are basically low paid with minimal benefits. Even thought they wear FE shirts, they do not work for FE. He also stated the drivers have high turnover since they do not work for who everyone thinks they do. I am not trying to justify the poor service but wanted to point this out. At least FE puts stuff on my porch. Amazon loves to leave it outside my garage door for the whole world to see. [/QUOTE]
