So he's been told nothing but he knows ground drivers have been told everything. Ya ok bubba.
There's quite a bit of sense in what EP is saying. Ground contractors are the ones who will have to hoark up even larger cash hairballs putting even more money at risk for the sake of a completely nonbinding purchased trucking contract. Non binding in the sense that Fat Freddy has and will continue to do whatever he damn well pleases no matter what the contract language happens to say.
As for the Express guys....you'll simply be disposed of. And for some the hardest part will be coming to terms with the fact that contrary to their long standing belief they in reality didn't mean a damn thing to Fat Freddy. Congratulations guys,...you've been had.
For contractor employed drivers what it will mean for them are more heavy handed demands for even more greater economic value. In turn creating an even larger disparity between the value that is demanded of them and the value they will receive in return. All of which will be required with zero workplace rights and protections.
For contractors, nothing will change until you quit blindly throwing your money into this shell game in spite of the clearly insufficient contract language backstopping and defending the investment and the returns you have a right to expect.
For contractors and the contractor employed it's much more likely to get worse than it will get better. Therefore, there is only one course of action.....and that is to just get the hell out of this segment of the economy altogether.
