FedEx always says they go by demographic/zip code to determine wages via COLA.Yeah if we were all making that wage probably wouldn't be as much complaining, but we're not.
when I worked in Southern California at the orange terminal, the Irvine terminal was about 14 miles down the road, and they were getting a little more than a $1 more per hour than we were for city work, working in the same exact county.
I wish they would just take the highest paying demographic and just give all drivers that same wage but I’m sure allot would complain about it.
Hell they could give us all $40 and hour now and someone would still complain it isn’t enough $.
There are no other trucking companies in my area in LVS that are paying anything near what we make, City is at $32.22 and going to $33.83 (5% increase) unless you want to run OTR with another company and never be home, you may make a little more. Most local jobs are paying 21-28 an hour and the higher that wage goes then you are working nights and weekends.
Personally I think it’s a fair raise. Do I wish it was more? Well yeah but I’ll take what they give as I have no choice really.
