Average 170k in pay -and benefits- isn’t a clear thing at all.
The rest of this is kind of rhetorical, but if anyone knows I’d be happy to learn :)
What are they including in the “benefits” that don’t actually provide material support or savings for the majority of workers?
For example, my company pays for (bundled with some other dumb service nobody uses) a suite of dumb lifestyle “self help” tools that are actually much worse than free tools, access to which they consider a benefit to me and thus part of my benefit package and total comp, even though it definitely isn’t useful in any way.
Additionally, due to churn, they usually have more entry level, so what is the mode pay for drivers? Mean average (what’s almost always used unless specified) can easily be used to make this look a lot better than it is if a few lifers make bank.

And the number is projected at the end of a 5 year contract!
