Imagine if that was a present for the family's son or daughter. I'm sure he would not like if someone came to his home and smashed his TV  :p

Seems to vary between mid 30K and 40K range, non Union BTW, and I believe they lease or own the truck..

That's only FedEx ground though right (because they bought out RPS which was a owner/operator business - my BIL did that for RPS for years, he made a lot of money but is is largely dependent on how much you bust your ass delivering).

It's a good thing most of those monitors are packed almost entirely in styrofoam.

The driver is an idiot but if that video is recent (most likely) those guys are working 12-14 hour days right now.  It still doesn't excuse his dumb ass, though.

That really pisses me off!

I drove a delivery truck for 20 years, I currently work for USPS, and I handle each and every parcel as if it was MINE!

Between active duty stints in the mid 90's, I did work for FEDEX as a delivery/pickup driver.  I can tell you for a fact that they pay their couriers very well.  FEDEX founder Fred Smith was a former Marine that understood leadership and how to treat his troopers which he thus carried over to his business.  FEDEX understood that the guys who put their hands on the freight were the money makers, not the slack ass bureaucrats who sat in the corporate offices, and compensated them accordingly.

Since FEDEX was non union, we had a very good working relationship with our station and district management that translated into managers that often drove trucks and moved freight.  Lots of flexibility, lots of productivity, lots of happy customers that were willing to keep using FEDEX.  This was especially true during "peak" season (Christmas) when the couriers were not allowed to have more than 60 hours in a work week (DOT rules).

With that said, the look of that guy's truck (color of the FEDEX lettering) says that he is regular, corporate FEDEX - not FEDEX Ground which has been pointed out as owner operator.  Which means that no matter how much freight is going through that station, he was not going to have to put in more than 12 hours for more than 5 days.  While that ain't easy, it ain't that bad; and considering the fact that you're getting overtime in the obameconomy, it's definitely not a reason to act like a little bitch.

There is a pride factor in most FEDEX employees to act as if what you are touching is going to your house and you are to never, ever, ever mistreat it.  No matter how much you may want to, you don't frikkin' do it.  I have not been a FEDEX courier for 16 years but I have never forgotten how much pride I took in my uniform, my truck, and how I handled myself and a customer's freight.  Captain sunglasses, on the other hand, needs to have his ass kicked and then fired for doing something so stupid.  My guess is that this particular employee probably has a mediocre record at best and more than likely a few "administrative notes" in his personnel file for substandard practices.

FWIW

I worked with a guy who was a FedEx driver.  He worked at our place on weekends.  He said getting promoted to a driver is lot of work... he started out unloading trucks and worked his way up to being a driver.  He was making about $45,000 at FedEx at the time.

If this person shared their video with Fed-Ex, then this guy should have lost his job.  They would know who delivered the monitor very quickly.

Yeah, it was pretty clear it was a security camera and not a setup. The guy was in a hurry, and just decided to take care of bidness in the most expeditious way possible.

I am not so sure this is faked.... I can't decide.  I didn't see him with his scanner, scan the package or anything.  They usually wear them on their belt.  And any Fedex package I get I have to sign for it on the scanner.

I do know the Youtube comments have pissed me off.

I read them from time to time.

But all the sites I love to visit...  Reddit, Youtube, and a few others have like 96% liberal posters and %4 conservative.  I have to just hit the Red X on my browser sometime because I get so frustrated with it.

Oh well, I sure hope we are the Majority like we think... I am beginning to doubt it.

The thing is, conservatives are out there taking care of business - working, taking care of family, paying taxes, doing stuff that has to be done. Libs?
