[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 670738, member: 18716"] So what your saying is FedEX is shooting themselves in the foot yet again. I would believe this move would worry any contractor first of all if they are trying to sweep the crap out the door, For a more professional minded person they are in for a suprise. Most professional minded drivers want a competitive wage, OT, vacation and benefits which is not provided under the model they are running now. The only way this would work is if the pay structure was set up like Express/UPS. They have professional minded employees because lets face it they are employees of that business. FedEx cant believe they will get those kind of people wanting to work for ground because as the old saying goes you get what you pay for. So what happens when drivers start falling off left and right and the contractor cant service his routes because he will not be able to run them all himself. Do you lose your contract for failure to service? I do not know Bbsam I would be worried, I seriously starting looking into it but this has steered me away. If FEDEX wants it ran their way then how much control do you really have over your own business with out them waiving your contract infront of your face? It just seems they are up to something.
