This was linehaul, has nothing to do with ISP, they have a different agreement. This type of behavior was commonplace when I first started. I’m pretty sure I missed out on routes because I wasn’t playing that game.Well Fred, how’s that ISP contractor model working out for you these days?
Sounds all pretty recent though. Wonder if this will spark lawsuits/investigations nationwide.This was linehaul, has nothing to do with ISP, they have a different agreement.

With the confusion of the ISP transition everywhere and the increased frequency of contracts getting pulled, I’m sure it’s happening right now. When I heard of it, it was single routes, contracts are much bigger these days.Sounds all pretty recent though. Wonder if this will spark lawsuits/investigations nationwide.
And I’m sorry, but those Russian names remind me of something an MD mentioned in passing years ago. He said they really know the contract inside out and backwards.
But the manager is only 41 years old. Once he was in neck deep, no getting out.With the confusion of the ISP transition everywhere and the increased frequency of contracts getting pulled, I’m sure it’s happening right now.

That’s what he gets for messing with Russians. Stupid.But the manager is only 41 years old. Once he was in neck deep, no getting out.
I will own that if it could be changed it would be appreciated. I meant to add manager but I couldn’t edit title after the post. I am sure this isn’t an isolated incident, and how was this not caught for 10 years with these “ghost shipments”?While I’m not a fan of FedEx at this point in my career, the title is very misleading. It wasn’t FedEx giving contracts to the highest bidder it was a crooked Senior Manager.
Where were the auditors all this time ? Why did it finally take the FBI and nearly a decade to find it while did auditors didn't see a thing suspicious? I wouldn't be surprised that given how those Ruskies were living high on the hog their lifestyle could have raised the FBI's suspicions as much as anything else.I will own that if it could be changed it would be appreciated.

Yes but...
I’m of the belief that people knew. Not only did they know, but i would bet a sizable dollar that this is not an isolated incident.
That said, at what point does the caveat “it wasn’t Fedex giving contracts away” become moot?
