[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 812513, member: 12508"] Ok, I'll say it for you. RPS was a very bad deal for drivers because they had to work 60 hours per week and also pay for all of their vehicle operating expenses. Their net pay was low, around $25,000 to $30,000, which is very low considering the long hours. FedEx liked the idea of passing-off most of the costs of a ground operation to a contractor, so they bought RPS. I wasn't on this site when RPS was under Roadway and then Caliber control, so that's why there weren't any comments from me. Early on, Ground driver/contractors were dropping like flies because they quickly discovered there was no money in it. I'd see newspaper ads offering routes and trucks for sale frequently. That's stopped, because FedEx did improve pay, and contractors were actually making money. For example, bbsam does very well, but his drivers do not. The IC or ISP pays them, but FedEx really runs the show. [/QUOTE]
