[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5441820, member: 58386"] That's exactly what you're going to be doing and out there to 8PM if not later. Now you'll be out there in a Fedex branded uniform....in a Fedex branded truck....delivering Fedex branded freight for half the wages and in most cases zero benefits. So it would appear that many of you will see first hand the emerging realization that Ground contractors are in fact a barrier to the wages and benefits that Express drivers have achieved or are on their way to them. Now rather than to ease the tensions by getting Ground driver wages up to Express level they're taking them down to contractor driver level. And in the aftermath it doesn't have to be a good delivery network because given the exceptional operating margins any old half assed thing's good enough. And the amusing part of it all is hearing Ground contractors crying the blues about loaded trucks sitting in stations and nobody to drive them and about not making any money. If they think anybody's going to care about their problems.....they've been seriously misled . [/QUOTE]
