[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3081538, member: 58386"] This event happened earlier this year under the terms of the new ISP agreement.Conditions within the contractor's operation were already deteriorating . Common issues, incredible turnover, boxes not getting delivered guys not getting paid combined with the fact that this guy wasn't willing to be totally subjugated to the absolute will and power of that company which is something you'll have to be willing accept and get used to if you want to remain a contractor. Why? First there is not one single term or condition in the operating contract that X considers binding upon itself. In fact it goes to great lengths to make it completely understood that the initiative is NOT designed to create equity for contractors but rather to procure trucking and labor at the lowest cost possible. It is evidenced by the fact that with a few exceptions here and there contractor pay scales run in the $ 12-15 per hour range all straight time and zero benefits. In this country an average of 12,000 boomers march off into retirement and will do so everyday 365 days a year for the next 17 years. In addition I saw on one of the nationwide job boards the other day where they had 1180 Fedex driver positions open. Now ask yourself this question. What kind of person do you want to entrust with that 1.5-2 million dollar investment? Do you want someone who is perceived as a professional perform as a professional and project himself as a professional? If so. you'll have pay him like a professional. The question is, where are you going to get the money to pay him? Walmart/ Fast Food wages aren't going to keep him there but that's about the best the average FXG contractor can currently offer making it nothing more than transitional employment. A job between jobs. Something to tide them over until that better offer comes along and with all those boomers packing it in they may not have to wait long. [/QUOTE]
