That is already happening.So tell them to sue if they're half as concerned as you are.

I think that's why they made the new minimum scale 5 routes. It's too difficult to manage that and drive full time, it eliminates that argument. They take their lumps with lawsuits and keep adapting.Maybe it doesn't apply to you, but a lot of multiple route owners are driving in my terminal.
How does that apply to people like myself that are not full-time delivery drivers? I do everything I can to not drive. Most days the closest I get to inside a truck is the morning when I walk by to check on my drivers. It's a dramatically different relationship.

Are you trying to sound like Upstate?Might want to look into commas, periods even. It would make your rambling easier to follow.
Before ISP.The Kansas Supreme Court concluded that “the employer/employee relationship between FedEx and a full-time delivery driver . . . is not terminated or altered when the driver acquires an additional route for which he or she is not the driver.”
Just a matter of time.
I hope you wore a jacket, maybe a hat too.Cjinx. You see pal you weren't there. I was a Day 1 contractor one of 4 in 1992. The building as a small metal building with no heat in it. The only heat source was a couple of ineffective kerosene space heaters. The office was a detached trailer. The TM during one of many RPS austerity drives had and he told me this himself no spending authorization and during the times when he did and there weren't many of those he had $500 max. As for budgets. Every year for the past two years or more assets dedicated to a peak season that failed to materialize resulted in budget overruns that resulted in the suspension of temps for an indefinate period of time usually months until things leveled out. Doesn't matter now since they have or will soon be eliminated .So don't t ry to tell me overruns don't matter because they also impact TM bonuses. Freezing equipment?The 4 of us went out everyday and delivered in temperatures as low as -34 degrees. That is just how hard things were in the early going.
Pull back the curtain? It was cold in the trailer you did the sort in 20 years ago. I think it's time to let it go. You sound like a crazy old man, "back in my day we walked 20 miles to every stop, uphill both ways in 30 ft of snow!" If it was so bad you'd have left for all those better paying jobs in your area. Get off my lawn!!Still the same company'just a different parent firm. In fact I came in before Cailber System. What I am telling you was experienced first hand. What is quite clear is that you have not been associated with FXG very long . Therefore you are in no position to comment or dismiss events that occurred years if not decades before you arrived on the scene. Obviously in your minds eye if you weren't there to see an event ,it didn't happen and clearly you are not comfortable when someone pulls back the curtains of a company you worship and idolize an expose it's ugly side.
The contract does not guarantee a purchase price. That doesn't even make sense and shows how little you understand. I base the value of my company off, among other things, a recent purchase of a smaller company in my area for $1 million. Mine is currently larger and will continue to grow for the foreseeable future. Yes, things could change and the value could disappear, but in the mean time I'm making good bank without much hard work. It's a risk, that's because it's a business.ITBF. I'm not going to get into a spiting contest. You're not my family and you're not my friend. All you represent to me is well, just so many people. In fact your bare existence is of no consequence to me.I have tried to call attention to the history of bad treatment of contractors . I didn't just hear about. I saw it happen in person . All of which was undertaken in an effort to caution people in regard to their blind servitude , wrongly believing that "it will be fine".ITBF I read one of your earlier posts where you're bragging about how your routes will in the future will be sold for millions.Read the damn contract then tell me just what the hell it is you're basing it on. Show me the specific langauge that assures if not quarantees you that windfall. I'll be waiting.Don't try to sidestep it. It's the one you are subjugated to and the one they beat you over the head with everyday.
You are describing an investment. There are no guarantees. Not in gold, oil, stocks, bonds, mutual funds...no investment is guaranteed, seemingly not even pensions anymore. So what so you suggest? What investment is so strikingly solid that you would recommend making it?You are still not answering the question. Where is the language that supports your claim to future riches. It's all in the contract language or the lack thereof. Without it, it becomes pure wishful thinking and nothing more. Right it is risk. And it's a risk you can't manage because it's in the hands of someone else and should they do something that is not in your best interest , you have no way to respond because you don't have the contract language that will provide you with a response. That is all I have been trying to say. Riches you keep dreaming about could be gone tomorrow at the hands of a company that offers nothing in the way of protecting the investment they require of you. If you are the wise and astute manager you claim to be then you're going to stop for a moment and take stock of the options you have at your disposal when it comes to protecting your investment. The dumb assumption that somebody just walk in there some and offer you a big wad of cash is simply not realistic.
