It's fun.Why do you guys even try to argue with crazy?
The fact is that X makes ALL of this information available to prospective buyers and their legal representation. No reason for anyone to be unpleasantly surprised. And yet those in the investment community don't necessarily see all these things as bad. In fact, if I were buying, I might like knowing the other contractors are being held to a high standard as well.Still ignoring the cold hard fact that all control rests with X and some day they will send you a not so pleasant reminder that they not you are the omnipotent power. Yet for some inexplicable reason you still think of yourselves as 'entrepenours" and "independent contractors". Yet I'm supposed to be the crazy one.P.S.Hey instiches instead of the snide remarks', try answering my questions. For a smart guy like you, it shouldn't be hard.

No one is ignoring anything, well maybe you are. We all know who our biggest customer is and where the power lies. What you don't seem to understand is these businesses can be a very profitable investment.Still ignoring the cold hard fact that all control rests with X and some day they will send you a not so pleasant reminder that they not you are the omnipotent power.

I think it can be a profitable investment. The problem is if you hold on too long and x changes the rules you could lose it all. Like we all know they change the rules all the time, they can't even make it through the term of the contract that they wrote and is not negotiable.No one is ignoring anything, well maybe you are.

Side note, how much did you sell your contract for, Bacha?
bacha, go talk to an independent electrical contractor and find out just how much of this coveted "control" he actually has. What constraints does the general put on him? The state? When all is said and done, you're looking for something that just doesn't exist.Hey "instiches". Make all the snide remarks you want. They are meaningless because you simply cannot answer the questions I put in front of you and the others. It's all in the contract language or the absence thereof. Bounty is right. You can't stay in this too long. Given the changing legal climate and the growing instability of the global economy if someone offers you something close to what you want for it take it and get out . Use the money to start something you have control over. Look at it this way. When I buy a stock atleast I get to vote my shares. You can't even do that with X. But same as it is with stock you have money invested with X but you have no say about anything that matters. As I said before I wish to well but remain as vigilant as possible.

The only important question is 'what happens to your investment and business and dreams of selling when fedex suddenly voids all contracts, as the contract allows them to do?'
Anyone dumb enough to spend over a million dollars on a business that can instantly be put out of business even if you operate it profitably deserves to lose.
going a little far out there man?So which decision will be followed by FedEx voiding all contracts?
They want to deliver packages with their own employees at a far larger cost than the contractor model?
or
They want to sell Ground, the division that is singlehandedly keeping the company profitable?
Those aren't the only choices. You must know that, and are just feigning ignorance.
