[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3629152, member: 60252"] Looks like Amazon is offering more of almost a franchise opportunity. The testimonials from current ADPs sound good. It would be impossible for it to be any worse than being a fedex ISP. The fact that you don't need to 'buy' territories like anyone wanting to be an ISP must means that you have less risk. If the lease terms are like others I've seen in situations where you drive for the lessor, you basically walk away from the lease when you no longer work for the company. I have a feeling that this would be waaaaay too much for most fedex ISPs to deal with. Huge difference between running 5 routes and 40. Running 40 trucks 7 days a week is a real business management situation, not something you can 'wing' it like I've seen at fedex. There are probably tens of thousands of OTR truckers leasing their rigs from the company they work for, and I haven't heard any huge outroar about class actions over that. [/QUOTE]
