[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 538130, member: 12508"] Serious, non-confrontational answer. Over 25 years at FedEx Express in a variety of positions. My "agenda" is that I think most single-vehicle IC's at Ground are getting treated badly. The ones who really get screwed are the drivers who work for the multiple-vehicle IC's. Low pay, no benefits, and often on salary, which means that 60 hrs a week gets flat-rated at $600-$700. bbsam, for example, is a multiple-vehicle IC, so he's got a good deal going. I doubt his drivers can say the same thing about their situation. He skims the profits, the drivers work for peanuts, service sucks, and FedEx Ground undercuts UPS on rates because UPS has to pay a living wage (and benefits). The low cost structure at Ground also costs us work on the Express side, which you probably are not aware of. Smith has already shifted RTD (feeder) work from Express over to Ground, and he is likely planning to shift our 2 and 3 day services over to Ground, especially if Express goes union. Since you don't work for FedEx, you have no idea what a scheming and steaming pile of feces Fred S is. If you did, you'd understand why a lot of his employees in all divisions of the company hate him and what a lousy company FedEx has become. [/QUOTE]
