[QUOTE="drwheat, post: 824684, member: 34451"] Hello All- I am a newbie here (with no driving experience) & found the site while trying to do some research on FedEx Ground. I am currently a small business owner & have found a contractor who is looking to retire & sell 9 routes. ( He currently has 9 drivers & either owns outright or leases 10 trucks. ) I am currently gathering information on the routes (settlement statements, stops, miles driven daily etc) & am looking for any feedback positive or negative from either Drivers or Contractors on getting invloved with Fedex Ground now. I do know that the Independent Service Provider model is going into effect this Fall which is somewhat different to the current Contractor / Fedex relationship today. I have read the posts in this thread from Drivers on the low wages & minimal (or no) benefits, so I have learned a little on how they feel. Question for the Drivers.... if you had the $$ (or could borrow it) would you take the chance & buy a route ?? (I know that 3 is the min under the ISP model). Question for Contractors.... IS the ISP change a positive or negative & if you had it to do over again would you "buy in" & become a Contractor today. Thanks [/QUOTE]
