[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 2706936, member: 66633"] If UPS can do it why couldn't FedEx? Difference is costs, which I keep having to repeat myself over and over about in this thread. X has obviously redesigned this model to structure it to their benefit, reducing costs, and hoping to avoid a repeat in getting sued all over again. They are tired of it. Plain and simple. With all the people who have invested in getting to scale at this point, why would they all of a sudden close the doors to the cash cow? What would that lead to? More lawsuits and lawyers over contractor and employee law. Bigger sums of money in payouts, which they will just get from sending more Freight through the Ground system to make up for it. And besides, from the customers point of view they're not going to care which carrier delivers it as long as they get the package in the end. Cutting out the contractor and becoming unionized wouldn't be a bad idea from someone who is ALREADY and employee; however, that's not how it works when other's have invested with much to lose.
