[QUOTE="8 Hour Day, post: 2391974, member: 62076"] No, there's a very clear difference. I'm sure there are plenty of Ground contractors that are wonderful drivers, but that's the exception rather than the rule. And yeah, there are idiots at Brown and Express. The difference, however, is in accountability. The corporate side of FedEx Ground isn't nearly as accountable for their contractors' screw ups as Express or Brown is. As a result, the training and oversight isn't there. If I hit something or someone with my truck, it's UPS that is held accountable. The same goes for Express... it's FedEx. For Ground? It's that contractor who owns the route. The results are predictable and obvious - nationwide. It gets even worse when the guy who owns the route(s) just hires some kids to run those routes for roughly the equivalent of minimum wage. Ground's driver turn-over rate must be enormous. [/QUOTE]
