[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2330347, member: 60252"] Until fedex ground completes the ISP transition, they can't do it. That's why they haven't done it yet. But the ISP transition allows them to completely get out of the local pick-up and delivery service that drivers do. It isn't because it isn't profitable, but because the individual contractors couldn't be under that much control. Control of the drivers isn't nearly as big an issue with the ISP model because the factor of control is less of an issue. With each contractor having multiple employees, and some ability to bargain, instead of a standard contract, and the easier ability to buy and sell routes, it makes it less likely the ISP contractors would be found to be employees in court. The MDL attorney I spoke to said that they would not even likely want to be involved in that case. The ISP model is not as clear cut as the IC model turned out to be, and even that took 15 years in court to force fedex to change. Under the ISP model, contractors can easily be required to make timed stops and require their drivers to do so. And the sky did fall, to some degree. The individual IC who just wanted to drive one route and go home was forced to either quit or change. That bit of sky affected a lot of people. [/QUOTE]
