Visible defect and you drove anyway? and checked off 'no defects' on your post-trip? Everybody but you is the bad guy?
No wonder you're no longer a contractor.

I need one of those cups whenever I read your drivel.
You're missing the point. A defect is a defect whether it is a windshield crack that fits the defect guidelines or a fluid leak or faulty brakes. This is a guy who knew about it but drove anyway and was caught. I'm betting he had been checking off "no defects detected" on his post-trip because that would have forced the repair issue right then and there if it had been reported truthfully.

Go ahead and call Safelite for him. I won't stop you.
Saving money by shopping around. Thank you Mr. Obvious. You see I too can come up with glib and caustic responses What I try to do is to pass on the experiences I have had and the information that was disclosed to me by company officials in the hope that it will help you to make more insightful decisions . X is not your friend and the more you know about what they have done in the past the more successful you will be because those who fail to learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.

Again, completely missing the point. I have to wonder if it is intentional or if you really are that dense.
Yes, you've had negative experiences with Fedex in the past. You would be hard pressed to find a contractor out there who hasn't grabbed the
end of that stick before. You act like anyone who doesn't share your extremely salty viewpoint must be fellating FXG management. You come from a long line of contractors who were just guys that bought their jobs. You did everyone a favor by getting out because the company isn't interested in contractors that don't want to grow.It is not a question of true growth It's about continuing to feed a company's growing addiction to cheap trucking and cheap labor. I chose not to exasperate that addiction by adding routes. If you think my leaving was in everyones best interest. Why then did the TM ask me 3 times in person and send me a written letter asking me to reconsider?
Here's the difference between me and the rest of you brainwashed contractors who worship that company. My assessment of the company is based on an indelible trail of unscrupulous practices and never ending attempts to skirt the law. An unpleasant reality you guys don't want to confront. But sooner your later it will confront you.

Thanks, OrioN.
Maybe before Jim tells us how smart he is he could do a little proofreading first.

Spoken like a true company rep.
She just happens to be 100% correct.
Strange though; bacha still posts things like "we" when referring to X or to Ground. Like he is having a problem moving on.

FDX is only interested on contractors who comply with their plans, as in FDX makes the plans and expects you to follow.
Of course. They just can't have 100% compliance. If they could, you'd never see Ground trucks nosed in with engines running. Drivers out of uniform. Rusty, ugly, barely legal vans.
They'd never have misdeliveries and those pickups would never be sitting on the dock for weeks before being picked up.
The FMCSA scores would be far better.
So, there you go. FDX can make all the plans and designs the want. They can demand compliance and threaten discipline. In the end, they get what they pay for and that happens to be more than good enough for the investors.

Well, gee. I am a company rep... though my opinions are generally my own here and I have no issues praising or bashing the company. Although, I doubt you'd ever find someone representing the company using the world 'fellate' in a sentence. lol
You want to know why they put up with contractors who don't always see eye to eye with management? It is really simple; it is significantly less of a headache to keep them around and have them fulfill most of their obligations per their contracts than it is to send the file up and get rid of them. The SM in bbsam's building may not like his decision to decline additional freight, but the SM should count his blessings that they're only dealing with overflow and not the entire route's worth. No SM in their right mind would pursue that, and no one in contractor relations would support them if they tried.
That being said, I'm sure they also breathed a huge sigh of relief when the dvalleyjims and bacha29s of the world left on their own accord. Your files may say eligible for future negotiation, but I guarantee that your RFIs are the first to line the recycling bin if/when that time comes.
Cjinx: You are PAID to represent the interests of your company. And clearly you have spent many a day at the company's mind control academy and reeducation camp, much more sensitive terms than using the term that should be used.......brainwashed. Likewise, you clearly dislike seeing the veil pull back and the less than noble business practices of your beloved X being exposed. Practices that clearly contradicts the positive public image your company spends millions to create. Perhaps if it lived up to that image it would not find itself today facing an avalanche of law suits. If you are having a hard time dealing wirh the unpleasant facts surrounding your company, simply call 1-800-MIND CONTROL. They have specialists and other qualified individuals standing by who will happily administer and generous new supply of brain fog.

Don't these "investors" see the compliance differences between Express and Ground? Or is the cheap labor model putting blinders on them?
