[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 993696, member: 12508"] Here's the deal as I see it. FedEx has to toe a fine line with Ground drivers because if they exert too much control, the drivers could potentially be re-classified as employees. Obviously, Fred doesn't want that. Higher performance? You bet, and once again, FedEx cannot push too hard in this area. I, however, think they WILL push, and push hard, thereby threatening the very slave wages basis of the Ground scam. I've been explaining the concept of Express-style PUD to the Ground drivers I know, and they aren't thrilled. They are used to basically straightlining everything, which Express can only do when we have a disruption. Some of them are good enough to figure it out, but a lot are not. FedEx is going to be asking for more, yet not be willing to pay more. Sound familiar? [/QUOTE]
