[QUOTE="Exec32, post: 2330310, member: 56206"] X already has a 70 page contract to hire my entity. It reads like an employee manual. After following all the demands and requirements in the contract there is no flexibility for me to use my METHODS AND MEANS to run my business. This is what they rely on to call you a contractor. Now throw in priority packages, and additional time constraints, also lets mix air and ground Frieght, at what point do you think that an already questionable contractor relationship becomes more sustainable in the eyes of regulatory and legal institutions. And by the way do you really think that things are going to get easier for X to continue with this scheme. So what do I think express drivers can do that ground can't? Well, the question is what can X do to express drivers that they can't do to contractors, and that is dictate the methods and means to their drivers, not able to dictate that to us, but to get their desired outcome they would have to write so much into the contract that it would definitely establish a employee relationship. Look what X wants as service, and the demand from customer expections, as well as protecting their brand and be competitive can not be contracted. Let me pick up my packages give them to my drivers, deliver them and come back the next day. If that was reality I would say it can be contracted, but that is not what it is. Its not about whether or not the ground driver can handle the technology, the problem is there one platform that can be used by the hundreds of different entities and real INDEPENDENCE still exists.
