[QUOTE="FedEx courier, post: 594627, member: 23267"] My theory is that Fedex wants to move a lot of service to the Ground side because of the disposable workforce at Ground. If what your saying was correct they wouldn't even offer "Ground" service it would all be under the umbrella name of "Express". Fedex has zero liability for "Ground" drivers because they are being called "IC's". If Fedex had it's way I believe they would have the entire system set up under Ground. It's very difficult for anybody to believe that drivers who are working 12 hour days with no overtime or benefits aren't making Fedex money. Fedex Express offers the same 2day and Express saver services that Ground does so it could easily move to Express and be done. The problem from Fedex's standpoint is that you would actually have Employees delivering/picking up/handling the Freight and there would be no question (not that there is anyway) that Express is not an airline. It seems to me that Fedex's standpoint is why have workers when you can outsource them. You are not really responsible for taking care of them and you can still hold them to your standards but they aren't really your employees. Just make them wear your uniform and put open and close times on them. [/QUOTE]
