[QUOTE="oldrps, post: 1817720, member: 36765"] All contractors must remember you are a business. If your whole business is dependent on one customer (FedEx) for your revenue, you are taking a huge risk. One change with your one customer can wipe you out, it is easier, but a huge risk. I personally would not recommend a contractor to put all their eggs in one basket, but to diversify and make deliveries for other companies. You could be a contractor at another company at the same time or start up your own delivery company. Starting your own company up is not easy, but you would be truly independent. This would require you to go out and hustle for business, which you don't have to do with FedEx. It would give you the freedom to hire who you want and drive what you want. You can charge what you want and make as much as you want. You could refuse to service a business if you didn't want to. This is a very hard thing to do, but you would be in a better position with FedEx if they drop you as a contractor. What you get with FedEx is stability and steady income. You will have packages to deliver everyday. Yes there are a lot of rules with them, but you have business everyday and they pay you timely. If your business is diversified, you can easily make a change when the time comes to drop FedEx or they are dropping you. When you only work for FedEx, it is hard to make that change. [/QUOTE]
