[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5380868, member: 58386"] Exactly. Whenever I hear contractors talk about "my business" this, or "my business" that or "my business" something else....I simply laugh . The only time they have something that resembles an actual business is when it comes to the divestiture of risk liability and variable costs...then you have a business, an independent contractor because that's all on you . The rest of the time you're an employee with none of the employee protections offered by state and federal labor laws. They serves two specific purposes. To provide FDX with "purchased transportation" at bottom feeder rates and to serve as a firewall against the incursion of a union represented workforce.....That's it....nothing more... Contractors must get back to that reality, comes to terms with it and proceed on the basis of that cold, hard fact. And for God's sake get that "my business" idea out of their heads immediately.
