Ok. I have searched high and low on this board and the overall internet. It seems like this ISP is some secret society and till your in it, info is sparse (except in my ground.biz which makes it seem like lackeys are lining up to sign up)
Our meeting with the Fedex minions was announced its going to be next month to discuss the changes with all the IC's and BC's.
I want more information from REAL CONTRACTORS the ins and outs. I can be PM'd if need be. Our entire terminal is tired of the same old BS where we are getting squeezed by the propaganda machine. I can predict now that they are going to try and convince us how beneficial and good this ISP model is knowing full well that without representation (contractors), we most likely are going to get friend* again. If we ever needed an uprising its more so now than ever!!!!!
That being said, I know we have to be to scale. I get that 500 stops per day min.
1. Is that 500 stops per day include supplements or only PSA's
2. Because our terminal split up areas, does it have to be within the same terminal for scale?
3. What happens to the area that we already have, can someone else bid and take it away?
4. We DO NOT want to combine our area with HD, do we have to take a certain zip code and service that whole area even if it means doing HD as well?
5. What negotiations ( if thats even possible) can we negotiate. Benefits? Vacation?
6. What happens to contractors that have paid a pretty penny for their routes? Are they just swallowed up by the lowest bidder?
7. What are our benefits? Is there anything positive with the conversion or is it all 1 sided?
8. For those that did have to bid for a zip code or area that you already owned, did someone else try and bid for your existing area to steal from you?
What pertinant questions should the Minion be asked in this meeting to expose the real jist so others don't fall for the "smoke and mirrors" chirade? Most of the contractors honestly at our terminal are not the most intelligent people, LOL, and English is NOT their first language.
I am looking for the good, bad and ugly in this model. I want to be prepared and not walk into something with my pants down so to speak. Trying to gather as much information as possible.
And please, lets have some decent dialogue. Theres enough negativity already. I want the skinny on the pro's and con's. I don't wanna hear, "yeah, your friend'd. I already know that.
If those that are already on the ISP model wish to PM me rather than post publicly, do so, I will gladly give my cell number or email address to discuss further. We are trying to educate ourselves before we have something jammed down our gizzards.
Thanks for reading.
