Easy to say when it's not your property.
Ah, now we are getting to the crux of the matter. Are you truly independent when you must conduct work on your employers (customer) property every business day? Why doesn't X drop the boxes to you individual contractors at your business address? Then you can make a business decision on how to sort your packages, set your ramp, lock the terminal,etc. Instead, X does it the same way it has always been done, since Federal Express of the 70's. Which is X's normal course of doing business......with employees.

The property I was referring to was his contractor's vehicle that he claimed he was going to park in front of a bay door and then drop the keys down a storm drain or stash them somewhere. I'd wager that the contractor would take exception to their employee using the truck in this manner.
As for the meat of your post; the number of variables involved would make that idea unfeasible.

Look, i see what Indy is trying to portray. We fronline drivers have to go by FXs rules for the p&d operations, which sorta makes us defacto employees. Plastering their corp name on the side of a truck or wearing those silly subcontractor patches only adds to the confusion
I consider the subcontractors "the middlemen" since they take the brunt of the operating expenses & due to their nondisclosure clauses, they can't really discuss how much of the pie they're getting to micromanage their section of zip codes

The problem is x does not grasp the concept. They jump back and forth across the line daily.

Like the "voluntary" safety meetings.

Only safety meetings my drivers attend are the ones I give on the belt every week.

That's a lot better than doing a 45 minute death by PowerPoint once, sometimes twice a week.

You keep saying that. We still have a ways to go; it can get a lot worse.

According to my "boss" (I say the term boss without hardly meaning it because he's an idiot) I make more than he does. He's an idiot. I've broken down more times than I can count. Vehicles maintenance is severely neglected. When I leave, he's not even getting a minutes notice. He'll figure out I'm not coming back when the truck isn't loaded (for free) at 8 AM and I'm nowhere to be found.
Wow you need to get a job that someone didn't force you to take. I can't believe they made you come do your job without your consent. I would stick it to them too, if I was in your circumstance.

Go
your self. I stay for the same reason every "employee" of fedex stays. Because of family obligations. I was lured in believing one thing and dealt another.Similar threads
