[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5562097, member: 58386"] As a 23 year Day 1 former contractor I can sum it all up in 2 simple words.......NOTHINGS BINDING1. There is not a single term or condition in that unilaterally drafted and implemented 1 year contract that is binding upon Fedex . The reason is very simple. There is simply no governing legal authority in place with the power to make it binding. As a result they just go on their merry old way doing whatever they damn well please. And that's the indisputable fact. Think it doesn't matter? Let me show you why it matters: Fedex required that we become Sub Chapter S Corporations. In addition it reserved the right to on demand access to our S corps accounting and payroll records for their so called "confidential audit and review" . The real reason was completely obvious. They were checking to make sure we weren't making out too good in their estimation. Now never mind the fact that this is privileged information protected under US privacy laws. No matter what the contract might say or whether what's in it is legal or not there is no means available to make them abide by it. The contract means absolutely nothing. When I was ordered to turn over my records....that was the last straw for me, Any doubts that they can do whatever they wanted with no contractor recourse was gone at that point. Right now there are plenty of high quality bond funds and ETF's paying 6% and more with nowhere near the level of risk. And that's about the same annual return as you'll ever get out of a bunch of FDX routes . And you'll be damn lucky to get that. Remember, you're buying an item convinced that it's going to go up in value. Trouble is you're buying it from someone who is equally convinced that it's going to go down. Oh BTW. To survive at it you'll have to find somebody willing to go out there 6 days a week and match the daily production of the average UPS driver for half the wages and zero benefits.....Good luck finding somebody who will take that deal.
