[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 554804, member: 22662"] I believe it will occur if Fred cannot hold off the status change. The real amazing thing is that two months ago people on this site thought I was completely out in left field (or right field if you think of it politically) with these theories. It almost sounds like I'm being taken seriously.:surprised: But really, I think my posts taken as a whole illustrate an IC mindset. Leaving aside the legality issues and personal opinions, i think my point of view is not so much a pro fedex stance so much as it is a bbsam stance. I see opportunities for my company to grow, and if it happens to benefit Fedex, then it is a mutually beneficial relationship. I compete with my fellow contractors, I compete with UPS and I have no qualms with competing with Express, Freight, or any other currier service or trucking company. Really, it's business and nothing personal. So if taking pride in being a somewhat successful contractor who continues to look for expansion possibilities brings the ire of others on this thread I understand. But maybe this helps others understand why many of us believe we are ICs. We see the challenge as opportunity and ICs involved in litigation as poor business owners [broad generalization] looking for a payout in a situation that was clearly laid out for them before signing the Operating Agreement. Yes, "that is exactly what Fred wants you to believe" but from our point of view there is validity. The model can and does work, but I don't believe everyone has the mindset for it.
