[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3537867, member: 60252"] I think that fedex can ask companies that they contract with for documentation, even if normally legally protected. Look at clothing manufacturers, even coffee growers who are demanding that the businesses they buy from aren't running sweat shops, or using child labor, or are protecting the environment. I think that it doesn't even matter if they are DOT requirements. If the company doesn't like what fedex is requesting, they don't need to do business with fedex. I think the issue may end up being a problem for contractors in releasing employee info to a 'third party' if the employee hasn't authorized it. I don't know what the laws are on releasing employee info. Maybe no issue, or might be a major violation. The problem is NOT with fedex requesting info, they can request whatever they want from their vendors. They might be asking for something that contractors might have some legal issue in providing though. I somehow think that any employer cannot just release private info they obtained because of the employment to anyone. Seems like a major invasion of the drivers privacy. [/QUOTE]
