[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 821273, member: 12508"] But it's not [I]your [/I]truck, it's the contractor's, right? That had to be great for service level today if 15 people walked-off. Here we go again with FedEx (the corporation) squaring-off against the "independent" contractors. Looks like the drivers are firmly stuck in the middle. If contractors were truly independent, they wouldn't have to pass FedEx standards. Undoubtedly, there have been DOT inspection issues, major accidents related to mechanical condition of vehicles, or complaints by drivers about unsafe vehicles, but all of these should be completely independent of direct FedEx control since they are contractor issues. The DOT or State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement personnel have an issue with the owner of the trucks, not FedEx. Also, shouldn't your [I]contractor [/I]be the party disqualifying you and not FedEx? Very interesting. Calling all lawyers!! [/QUOTE]
