[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2361370, member: 60252"] There's no added cost in Fred S telling contractors to deliver some express packages and diverting them with CONTRACTED linehaul drivers. Attrition will eliminate most of the express drivers, and after a few years of declining income from less work, most express drivers will have already found other employment unless they desire only part time jobs. And even if the cost of the contractor model doubles, it is cheaper than maintaining a fleet, all the physical infrastructure, and all the extra management jobs that the contractor handles. Training, payroll, hiring, vehicle maintenance, etc are all handled by the contractor, enabling fedex to eliminate drivers, but also a huge number of personnel who they need with employees. You have a very narrow view of what the contractor actually does, and apparently very little appreciation of all the costs associated with having two divisions doing the same thing. You are repeatedly trying to claim it will be an overnight process, which can't even be done, let alone while fedex is transitioning to an ISP work force. [/QUOTE]
