[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 764928, member: 12508"] Good points. Ground may be taking all the right steps to get their act together, but until they address the pay issue, it isn't going to happen. Like bbsam said, the IC's are the "intermediary" between the driver and the company, but IMO that's a mechanism that exists to prop-up the low-cost fleet and pay structure and try to make it look legitimate. FedEx is calling the shots, and I just got wind of a new project in the works that will make Ground much more accountable on the pickup side just like Express. The more they become like Express, the more control is exerted by Ground management, not the IC. This would tend to strengthen the employer/employee argument and weaken the IC model. [/QUOTE]
