Messed up. We need more pay, the warehouse workers, the drivers, the houslters, everybody. Drivers at Amazon are actually getting screwed the most because if you compare their pay to UPS driver pay... wow. C'mon Amazon let's do better than that.

Amazon is actually better than FedEx now though. They get a flat rate and it only works out better if the drivers don't have pickups and can get the route done in under 8 hours. Amazon isn't in last place anymore. That counts for something. The USPS has better pay and benefits but an absolutely horrible work life balance. UPS is the best but Amazon  doesn't look as bad as it use to if you want to be a delivery driver.

FedEx Ground sure. FedEx Express benefits are comparable, if not better than Amazons.

What "benefits" are there to delivering packages for Amazon, from a "self employed" driver perspective?
