Upstate the FDX ground model is just a business scam that will fail in a court challenge sooner than later. THE GROUND CONTRACTOR MODEL IS JUST A TAX SHELL FOR FDX.
You seem BLIND TO THE FACT THAT FDX HAS TO PAY A CONTRACTOR WHO HAS TO PAY A BOX MONKEY. THE TOTAL COSTS FOR FDX IS MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU THINK.
There is going to be a big power struggle(mess) with FDX and all the FDX GROUND OWNER SHELL corporations that are going to get too big.
DO YOU REALLY THINK UPS WOULD SWITCH OVER TO THE FDX GROUND MODEL AND LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE COMPANY?
FDX IS GOING TO HAVE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE GROUND SCAM SHELL CORPORATIONS AS THEY GAIN MORE POWER. THATS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL.

My route was maybe 130 Delivery stops daily.. Over 300 packages. This was in 2008. I got a Buy Buy Baby, and Golfsmith which was easily 200 More packages a day. That alone prompted a straight truck. 50 carseats just overfill a full p1200 you know. Talbots, David's Bridal filled my floor.
It has since split in half with my supp but both trucks are back at 100 stops, plus the straight truck. It never ends.
It's a public forum.

My company buys fuel from Shell . Does that make us a shell corporation?

pure idiocy. They do negotiate, and are not nearly the push overs you think.

I'm afraid you have been sold a bill of goods. You are an hourly employee, no more, no less. What you fail to realize is that you have no ability to make FedEx customers "happy", your boss made them happy by hiring you and and allowing or ordering you to do so. If you didn't, you'd be replaced by someone who could. I'm sure you saw this happen in your long career, I know I have, and I'm in a union.
FedEx paid you well early on to keep the union out during their formative stages. The threat of unionization is getting less and less and that is why FedEx hourly employees make less and less. Certainly not because management has lost sight of some perceived nobility of the FedEx Driver. You are what you are because your boss made you that way and she/he wants you that way and now they got you right by the short hairs. I hope you got all those promises in writing about taking care of you, but then, that would have to take the form of something like a union contract.
I read this over and it sounds like I'm demeaning you, and that is not my intent. There are certainly many hourly employees who do more chest thumping and bragging than they should. If you work by the hour, or a set rate, and you do more than the next guy you're not acomplishing anything except enriching the boss. Take heart in the fact that you are not the first or will you be the last to be duped by a major corporation.
I'm fairly impressed with the wit that has shown up on the Ground side lately. At least they aren't a bunch of whiny overpaid crybabies without the nads to stand up for themselves.

I'm 46 my friend. I try to run like I'm 23 though.
If I had
Your 46? Good for you also. I'm 50. I try to be considerate to whoever is in my area. I know what we all go through. I have a different boss every time I walk into someones business. You will move much easier with that chip off your shoulder.
You are sounding more and more like a troll.
The guys I know that work for FDX ground that are in their 40s do not smile and DO NOT WORK FAST LIKE A UPS DRIVER.No they dictate price and policy at this point.
not with ISP'S they don't.
