[QUOTE="Exec32, post: 2229832, member: 56206"] The key to all this seems to be that we all must be willing to walk away if you don't get what you think is reasonable. The problem is some are over leveraged and may seem like that is not an option. Fedex rely's on that outcome to establish these depressed levels of compensation. The only counter is to call their bluff. What I mean is this.... ISP's in essence already should have some leverage by its share of responsibility(area). USE that leverage. I know the devils will attempt to entice other contractors to fill the void, however the available (competent)contractor pool at each terminal is shrinking, you all should come to an understanding that participating in fedex scheme to retaliate against a fellow contractor is not acceptable. When are we going to actually start supporting each other for a better outcome? It is not easy to come up with 6,7,8 trucks or more and drivers to cover an area and maintain service. In the end I have informed my drivers that If I cancel my contract I will provide them severance for 2 weeks paid, if they do not agree to work with another contractor taking my area over. Just watching the terminal suffer, and hopefully give my drivers an opportunity to find employment elsewhere, is worth it. The best solution is to not help FEDEX screw your fellow contractors.. Here is one better, come up with your own non disclosure among-st contractors, meet with each other and discuss tactics to use to get your desired outcome,, wait that's what FEDEX does!!!! [/QUOTE]
