[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2108757, member: 60252"] Do you supply your own scanner, or did you get it from fedex?????? Same with uniforms. Federal court stated unequivically that fedex intentionall designed the contract to make it a close call, and it is all the supporting documentation and extra-contractual actions that made it clear that fedex was attempting to skirt the laws. And you had to get fedex approval for your truck. All of those were used in deciding employee status even for multi route owners. As a named plaintiff, I both supplied documentation and was privy to all the court documents and evidence. About the only freedom you have, as noted by the federal judges, is the right to decide what order to make deliveries in, and what route to follow, and even those within limitations fedex sets. Fedex has changed very little realistically other than the REQUIREMENT that an independent contractor have multiple employees and multiple vehicles. But as already stated, having employees and/or multiple routes makes no difference in many states. [/QUOTE]
