Who gets to choose which part(s) of the route goes to the temp driver? If it is the contractor, wouldn't it make sense to dump the low revenue residential chaser stops in lieu of retaining the high density/revenue commercial bulk stops?
Of course it would, but you miss the larger point, which is that FedEx is taking a very active role in what is supposed to be an "independent contractor" operation. Also, what are the consequences (to STFXG) of missing service? Do they threaten to take the route away? It seems very convenient to have FedEx to fall back on when a route gets blown-out. Also (to STFXG), do you have to reimburse FedEx for providing this service for you, since it is your route, and contractually your responsibility to provide service?
