Good observation that they are trying to "separate" themselves from the contractors. Trouble is, they really can't, because that is the essence of the scam. FedEx runs the show, and the contractor puppets act like they're doing it. I would suspect they fear another lawsuit and/or legal attempts to prove the current Ground business model fraudulent.
At our hub they are starting what they call the Clean Campaign. They told my contractor he has to paint the wheels on the van, and most importantly, take off those stickers that say owned and operated by FedEx Ground. I call bull on that, have you ever seen the wheels on some of the pup trailers ? Look like they have been pulled out of someone's back yard after 15 years of sitting.
