The Youngin' Of It All

Been thinking long and hard about this one lately. Been reading about a lot of problems many people across the nation are having (finding drivers, load qualities, etc.) I guess my question to everyone is where do you see this company heading in 5 years? Will ISP still be around or is it another derail until they finally realize they have to do away with it once and for all? We didn't go Orange for no reason. The days of no benefits and low pay can't last too much longer under these conditions and I do as much as I can for my own guys before myself each and every single day.
To elaborate where my building stands, we have been receiving multiple 27's from station management looking to cover their backs and pinning it on us without even notifying us, which I think is wrong personally since it affects our CSA. I've been monitoring my service every single day from here on out and follow up with any thing I find sketchy immediately. Drivers are getting fed up between oversize and load issues (both Ground and HD) and are very close to walking. Drivers wanting more money which we can't give. What more can we do to provide stability and reassurance that we are able to fix it for them when management won't fix their problems? Then blame us and take our contract if a driver walks and you can't get no resources in place because they want to fiddle around with the process... For some drivers it isn't even a money issue. Is there to be a fallout or strike from this model sooner or later? Can't blame the contractor if all the drivers start running the show from multiple ISP's and calling shots.
Again, this is just observation from what's been going on in my building. I'm not looking at calling anyone out how they run their business or any of that. I'm just asking for insight on what people feel the end game is with FedEx once and for all. It's just interesting what I see and hear from other employees every day who aren't my own.
