Forced to by government regulations. Why do you think ISP happened?Then maybe you guys can shine a light on why FedEx would void all contracts. I'll be waiting.

But why not just make all contractors employees and pay them hourly? Isn't that why contractors signed onto the lawsuits in the first place?Forced to by government regulations. Why do you think ISP happened?
That's not how things actually work. A court can say, "you were violating the law, pay up." They can't say, "we think whatever new model you create will be in violation of the law, so you have to alter your entire business structure."Forced to by government regulations.

You know as much as me, about the future, that's your guess. My guess is different.That's not how things actually work. A court can say, "you were violating the law, pay up."

There's no reason to believe FedEx won't continue to adapt to any new regulations.
Yes but history suggests that he is right. Your guess, on the other hand, is based simply on what you WANT to happen.You know as much as me, about the future, that's your guess. My guess is different.
That's how you see it. I just see a rat that hasn't been caught yet.Yes but history suggests that he is right. Your guess, on the other hand, is based simply on what you WANT to happen.
History says X will change its model to comply with court rulings. It's not a matter of how I see it. It's a matter of documented historical fact.That's how you see it. I just see a rat that hasn't been caught yet.
My "guess" is how the laws of this country work. A damaged party has to sue, if they're successful they get compensated. ISP was created to address issues raised in lawsuits, to limit FedEx liability. No court or legislature forced FedEx to change their model. They adapt the model to better fit the law.You know as much as me, about the future, that's your guess. My guess is different.
They've always had that right, it's not new. The ISP model hasn't been challenged yet. FedEx is not buying routes.Have you heard about the lawsuits???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You gave them the right to void your contract. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I urge you and everyone to read about how fedex is buying out contractors in Ca. Even the ISP plan doesn't comply with the laws.
Then you have nothing to worry about.(yea right)History says X will change its model to comply with court rulings. It's not a matter of how I see it. It's a matter of documented historical fact.
You don't know if it's being challenged or not! If not you can bet it will be.They've always had that right, it's not new. The ISP model hasn't been challenged yet. FedEx is not buying routes.

Excellent idea even tho some like @bbsam think that being a contractor is nothing but endless clover.Guys I think it would be a good idea if you larger contractors looked into getting some insurance in case of a dramatic and unforeseen turn of events. An insurer who is willing to insure the losses you may encur if for example a new board of directors were to scrap the current contractor model. All it would take would be for a couple of well capitalized hedge funds to get together and lauch a proxy battle or hostile takeover bid . Remember your contract offers no severance or buyout if that were to occur.It's up to you to protect your gains. Oh, that's right. I'm supposed to be the crazy one.
You mean ISPs don't save the company something like 30% in labor cost?Fedex will use contractors only until they are no longer worth it. That time is close. ISPs do nothing that fedex can't do themselves without the middleman.
Ask MFE.Fedex pays you, you pay the driver. Fedex could eliminate you and pay them directly. And they will. You are a useless leech to fedex, just sucking up cash that they could use themselves. You provide nothing that UPS does with an all employee force. Why do you think you are indespensible??????
I'm really beginning to wonder if you understand contracting at all.Fedex pays you, you pay the driver. Fedex could eliminate you and pay them directly. And they will.
