[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 750256, member: 12508"] Great points. especially the one about contractors being the ones who should "run the business" (e.g. scheduling pickups). A customer calls FedEx or goes to the website to do business with Ground. They don't call the contractor. Your other point that the real wage is less than $12 per hour in many cases is also excellent. In my area, many Ground drivers are flat-rated at $650- $750 per week. As you state, 8 hour days are very uncommon in this business, so a flat-rated driver could be working 60 hours per week for just over $10 per hour. Hardly fair, is it? [/QUOTE]
