[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 4362147, member: 58838"] The beauty of the contractor model. FedEx doesn’t have to give any type of notice to them. If contractors are overwhelmed they simply say “figure it out and get it done, or we will find someone who can”. I very much agree that a gradual would be much better but I guarantee they are seeing these amazon contractors with 40+ trucks, over 100 employees, running 365 where there contractor is making a max of $300k (probably a lot less than that). Now they are saying we need our contractors doing that even though size of packages and many other issues have to be factored in, but won’t be. Short term I think they will turn owning Ground routes into a better business than it has been for the last couple years, if you can handle the staffing but I think long term they will keep dropping the price per pkg and stop like this damn “E-commerce pricing” to try to get closer to amazons cheaper model.
