BBsam, you're not scaring UPS. Eventually the fedex ground business model will fail or dramatically change. Either thru Govt intervention or employee unrest. But it will come. How long will ground drivers accept that I'm getting 5 weeks vacation, 2 personal days, 2 floating holidays, 5 sick days, 5 paid holidays, 35 guaranteed hours, without eventually revolting. Enjoy now, your time is coming. And UPS healthcare alone (benefit) should be a deal breaker for most , um, sub-contractors? ..unless your very desperate.
