[QUOTE="soc151, post: 1409520, member: 46195"] 1. It includes everything. Fedex no longer distinguishes between primary and suppliment. They frame it as, "it's your responsibility to service the contacted area, and it's your choice how many or few trucks you use to accomplish that. " 2. Here, it's 500 per terminal. No splits. So, when they arbitrarily decide to move routes, you could be hung out to dry by the 500 requirement. 3. Not to my knowledge, as long as you are in good standing. 4. Again, not to my knowledge. Could change though. I can see that being the ultimate goal with the establishment of co-locations. 5. From what I've seen, they should be called "negotiations". Pretty sure they are just following a set formula. If you ask more for a service fee, they lower the piece and stop count payments, vice-versa, etc. 6. Contractors that can't make scale sell at a discount, or buy more. Consolidation is the name of the game. 7. Unknown to me. 8. Never seen it happen, though not sure it would be outside the realm of possibility. **disclaimer-I'm not a contractor, just a guy that has worked at ground under both systems and ask a lot of questions.
