[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2039341, member: 12508"] They stay in business because Ground/HD is cheap and FedEx enjoys a terrific profit margin on it. They accomplish this through a scam "contractor" system wherein drivers are paid very little and most operating costs are passed-off to the owner operator/contract carriers, who dba FedEx Ground/HD. This is highly lucrative for FDX, and some contractors make a decent living because they pay basically nothing ($12-$14 per hour with no benefits). Maintenance and safety are generally spotty, and the quality of employees is commensurate with the pay...low. In return, you get crappy service that doesn't cost much. FedEx could care less about your issues, so good luck on getting problems resolved. That would cut into profits. [/QUOTE]
