[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3935301, member: 58386"] My take on it: It would appear that the ruling is directed at Bezos and his so called "Amazon Delivery Partners" con game and may require a complete revision of the model or drop it all together. One of the everyday impacts of the ruling I have heard is that the trucking company can no longer make you buy a truck that is entirely based on the company's specifications with the company logo on it and they can no longer order you to wear a company uniform. Didn't see where they couldn't pay you to wear one if agreement to do so is reached. As for XG here's what I see happening: 1. A rapid conversion to ISP/CSP in those states that haven't already gone over possibly as little as a few weeks notice. 2. The single routes who remain and haven't accepted the terms or were not a recognized class member in the multi state class action settlement might have grounds for a new round of class action lawsuits. 3. It would appear that the days of this is when you start, this is when you stop, this is what you drive, this is what you wear, this is where you go, this is how you do it may be coming to an end along with any talk of turning Express over to route contractors. 4. Outside of the book value of the trucks the only value the contractor holds is his proprietary rights an intangible asset and even that doesn't even offer protected territory and if it did it would only be for the life of the contract and that can be revised and amended in any way the company sees fit. Combined with the new ruling which may require a less captive arrangement may in turn result in the opening up of service territories to outside owner operators who have their own authority. 5. With the potential for equity erosion given the ruling the time for a contractor to sell may never be better than it is right now. [/QUOTE]
