FedEx Freight | Fedex Freight Portable Pension

On a perfect day every day of the year, correct...get caught in construction backup, city drivers are still getting paid, the road doesn’t...rush hour traffic backed up, city drivers are still getting paid, the road doesn’t...inclement weather, the city packs up and goes home, the road doesn’t...your child gets hurt at school, the city driver leaves early to be with their child, the road driver doesn’t...I could go on and on, is it really worth the extra $100 a day, on a perfect day??
Not much rush hour on night shift. Cant leave early if kid is hurt and im over 2 hours from the center without cell phone coverage. I guess i am lucky they let me deliver when there is a foot of snow.
 
Not sure if you meant to respond to my post since yours has no relevance to what I posted, but I’ll take a stab at responding anyways...

We’ve been down this hole before as well...if you take what a road driver makes for a 650 mile run plus fixed task pay and divide by how many hours it takes to cover said run, then compare that to what a city driver would make for working the same amount of hours (and don’t forget time and a half for anything over 8 hours), and you’ll find that the difference in pay isn’t as far apart as most would think it to be!!
No, the Road makes much more on the long run. That's why I pointed it out.

That said, we all choose what we do for different reasons. I could always do the Road fulltime and make the same money. Or I can do City fulltime and work nothing but days.

It all comes down to what we choose.

I prefer city but went with road money, but there is definitely a human cost to pay for that eventually

Road drivers have more prestige, are more knowledgeable about legal problems, medical advice, women, brain surgery, politics, rocket science, or how to run a trucking co. even child birth, thats why they make the big bucks.
