FedEx disqualified me as a driver and helper

Why are you always slobbering on BB's nuts Dave? I have to ask. He's not a reincarnation of Christ or anything.

To be honest, no I am not. But I do have a tasty combination Alec Baldwins Schwetty balls and Chefs salty chocolate balls.

All kidding aside, I think the OP and his boss have burned their bridges at Ground.

Express as well would be my bet.

Dave's favorites.

Not only Dave's.

Take service failures if necessary. Again, compared to this situation, service failures aren't a big deal.

Ha! What kind of time commitments does Ground have anyway? Whenever it gets there?

Same as always. If it is promised on a date, it will be there on or before that date.

I see. Wait until corporate starts complicating things. Hope your guys can juggle.

The fedex ground driver on my route acts like he does! He was on a dock so I parked away and walked off one package. Hot back in my car and started off and he comes out off the dock and almost runs me over! He then puts on his seatbelt! Bulkhead door wide open. Lol

Maybe that's why they just announced further investment in Ground.

 

[It will be fine]

Same reason Express managers don't go out, they get used to being lazy. Rather let a whole truck sit than go on road. You guys are basically Express managers that pay for your fuel, uniforms, but don't get benefits.

You don't understand our responsibility. This contractor's behavior was reckless. It should end up costing him his job and the job of everyone else that works for him. That goes beyond lazy. Hopefully his other drivers can get on with a decent contractor after this all shakes out.

At the expense of Express employees of course.

So be it.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of further investment are they talking?

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of further investment are they talking?

The $228 million kind.

I understand that most ground contractors do these kind of things all the time. That's what I see 90% of the time. I agree that he should lose his contract. But I don't think you get my meaning. What is your responsibility if I may ask?

The $228 million kind.

That'll certainly buy some real estate, wow!

Unless you're talking about that recent lawsuit settlement.

Lol, I just literally edited that right before you posted.

High five!

I think the number I saw was $4.9 billion.
