[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4374623, member: 60252"] Not only is the contract vague, but fedex has policy handbooks that tell how they interpret it. Under the old IC contract, one phrase comes to mid. The contract says that fedex intends to make 'full use' of contractors vehicle to supply contractor with sufficient deliveries. Their policy it that full use means whatever they put on your van until it is full whether it takes you 5 hours or 15 hours. That was the HD contract. My interpretation was full use means full time, or 8 hours per day unless some other arrangement. A contract is supposed to describe the intent of both parties, but fedex hides the full intent in their handbooks only management can see. I was regularly sent out with enough to last 15 hours in rural mountainous area, including driving up Mount Ranier to the park headquarters 30 miles up a road, and worse. If I had a smaller vehicle, I would have been better off. Under law, interpretations made by the party who didn't draft the contract are supposed to be binding if a reasonable person could agree. Problem is that if you hire an attorney to make fedex follow your reasonable interpretation, they won't renew. In that, they have the absolute power to fire, and can fire even before expiration for no cause at all. You have recourse in going to expensive arbitration with your winnings very limited. But FEDEX CAN fire you at will, for no cause. [/QUOTE]
