Stupid arguments about the Ground business model

It will be fine

Hmmm... No issues criticizing Express but you seem a little butt hurt about people criticizing ground.
Just tired of the negative losers constant ignorant attacks. A few morons that think they’re clever and don’t understand how the business works. I figure it’s best to keep their idiocy contained.

It’s not even that. He’s extremely sensitive when people don’t buy his claim of being a business owner. He’s generally a pretty informative poster, and seems to be a normal guy, but as soon as that topic comes up, he whines and cries and insults anyone who doesn’t buy into his claim. It’s purely ego-based. I don’t understand it.

Here’s a thread to contain all the stupid arguments losers make about the Ground business model. Mods please move stupid arguments here so as not to derail every other thread.

To single Ground out is unfair. Low paying jobs comprise approximately 40 percent of the economy. This is never changing regardless of which half of the two-party system is in office.

The harder he continues to try to push his fallacy and false narrative the harder the push back. He doesn't even have Ground itself helping him to push that narrative. Ground make it abundantly clear early on that it was NOT in the business of creating equity and building enterprises for third party individuals .

If Ground had to provide contractors with a level of autonomy and power sufficient to make them true independent businessmen the operation would collapse in a matter of months.

When I described the experience as "this is when you start, this is when you stop, this is what you drive, this is what you wear, this is where you go, this is how you do it....that was no exaggeration. The fact that FXG's DOT numbers are on the side of the truck and the only thing going in it is FXG boxes no measurable or discernable level of operational independence exists.....And Ground will see to it that it never does.

So essentially, Fat Freddy runs the business, he falls in line.

In your fantasy description who do you imagine saying these things? It’s not at all reality.
As for the DOT number there are literally reams of federal regulations outlining the conditions for independent operators leasing their equipment to motor carriers. It’s a bedrock business arrangement of the entire transportation industry.
