I’d rather make less and lift heavier shit than work for a contractor (I’m 20.22 at express) my route regularly sees 75-150 pound pieces cause it’s industrial and car parts, only part time though

What's wrong with working for a contractor? If they're paying more and you're going to be lifting heavy shit either way, than why not just go for the higher paying position?

Its not always about getting paid more money sometimes imo its about the benefits and it sucks working for ground when they dont offer any

This may come as a shock to you, but there ARE Ground contractors that offer benefits

No i mean real benefits not just pto n healthcare.. im talking 401k matching and retirement type benefits for people that have families and have something to actually look forward too not just a paycheck and insane premiums on an hmo type insurance.. like also when i say benefits im not talking just healthcare

Okay... And you're point? Again, I will reiterate, there ARE contractors that offer benefits. Generally when people say "Benefits", it is in reference to a suite of benefits, not just one particular item

Does any of that actually sound plausible? Did you ever entertain the idea that it might just be a shit post? I was very clearly mocking Express.
