[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3722590, member: 60252"] I assume the terms will be somewhat the same as industry standards where truckers lease the vehicle form the shipper they haul for. Yes, if you walk away without a valid reason, you might be liable for a portion of the lease payment. But if they(Amazon) terminates the agreement, you would be out of the lease unless they had some very good proof that you violated the agreement. With fedex, you can be out tomorrow, and be stuck for absolutely no fault of your own, or fault of your drivers. Most truckers or trucking firms do NOT have to commit to a 12 month term if they don't like the way the work is going. Fedex is so out of the ordinary in the contract they had. I think Bezos is modelling after what are normally long haul contracts from what I've seen. None of those have 'proprietary rights' either that for some reason bacha thinks are the cat's meow. If fedex changes business models, like maybe going to an employee workforce, maybe because of future court rulings, they have the right to just eliminate you from the payroll, with EXTREMELY limited compensation to you. I personally would NEVER pay anyone to buy the right to service a contract that can be voided so easily. With Amazon, you have much less at risk compared to buying a fedex ISP 'business', which is pretty much all I am claiming. [/QUOTE]
