[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5345911, member: 22662"] Right. They can’t give them away. You seem certain that one day they’ll be able to. I concur. One day they will be able to but not at the rates they’re paying contracted areas now. Am I waaaaaing? Sorry. Didn’t mean to give that impression. I know I’ve been saying that you don’t understand the situation at all. That your belief that contractors will simply roll over is completely wrong. That’s not to say that there will be a revolution in stations. Far more passive aggressiveness. Routes sitting (possibly for several days). General disregard for anything coming from the company about service or losing customers. Early pickups, late pickups…nobody cares. Grandma Jones didn’t get to the door fast enough to get her medicine that needs a signature? Can we reattempt? Nah. Maybe tomorrow. Sign schedule K (for peak monetary increases)? Nah. They’ll just find away to take it all away. You seem to believe that massive numbers of contractors need to take part. I doubt that it’s that organized nor does it need to be. And we haven’t even gotten to considering what happens when the line haul operations start falling apart. Freight probably moves some. I doubt their big enough to handle all of it though. At this point, I’m more of a spectator in the coming disaster. Just one with a really good seat being paid to watch it happen. I have no desire to necessarily stop it. Failure is the only thing truly profitable now. And that’s 100% on FedEx. [/QUOTE]
