[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 764786, member: 12508"] Let's see. If the IC is off the road, then FedEx can say that the IC is actually running the business, and not Ground managers. Very convenient and legally expedient. That also means that the IC has to hire an additional driver if the IC is currently driving. Perhaps some IC's aren't going to want to do that just so it will appear that they(the IC's) are actually running the show. I strongly suspect that when FedEx says "jump", most IC's are going to ask "how high?" Also, if Ground management pressures the IC to substantially raise productivity, appearance standards, accident levels, or whatever else they might choose, who is actually calling the shots? I'd say it's FedEx Ground, and if the contractor doesn't apply the strict standards of the corporation to the non-employees, he gets the Golden Handshake. Again, the IC seems to be there only as an intermediary that makes the model work from a legal standpoint. FedEx runs Ground, not the IC's. [/QUOTE]
