[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 532697, member: 21891"] Imagine for a moment - The route you have been driving for years. You build it, you caress your customers with love, you build it, you know it, and you feel it is yours. Imagine that the route, the run, the territory is in fact yours. Towns A, B, C and D? You run them. Anyone wants to send a package there, you are the one they MUST deal with. And, when you retire, you can place a value on that route, based on multiples of annual income, and you can sell it. Hell, you can hire another driver to run it while you take a cut. Sound great? That is FedEx. It is also the definition of what an independent contractor is. The only people questioning the legality of FedEx's ic MODEL IS.......drum roll...... UPS and the Teamsters. The people that make the laws - you know, that define if it is legal or not? They have already said it is legal. Only UPS and the Teamsters are muddying the waters. And that makes us look like Tonya Harding (to paraphrase from an excellent post above) If I have to pay $100k to get a FedEx ground route here locally, the FedEx employees are not in need, nor do they want, a Union. And that is the way I see it. [/QUOTE]
