[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 574741, member: 22662"] Not only is it sustainable but the contractor model is thriving. The thing I don't understand around here is the ridiculous relying people do on anectdotal evidence. It seems people will say "I saw a Ground driver (insert idiotic action by said driver)...therefore Ground sucks." Why bother paying attention to all the Ground facilities being built? Just ignore the fact that Ground and HD are the only divisions posting profits. Forget the fact that everytime Ground loses a court battle the court has never said to Fed Ex "You must make your contractors into employees." In fact, when Fed Ex has lost, the remedy has been to move further toward freedom of the contractor than to make them employees. This is not to say that Ground does not have it's problems. We certainly do. But to compare us with DHL? Really? Did I mention we're making money? And all the problems Ground has will never be fixed and the only answer is to do away with it? Pardon me for saying so friend, but that is naivete to the extreme. And when I walk in a stop and see that I've been incorrectly contacted for an Express pickup , I'm more than happy to pick it up. It may be presumptuous of me, but I feel like it's just a matter of time until that revenue will be mine anyway. Did I mention Fed Ex is investing heavily in the Ground division? Oh, and we make money.:happy2: [/QUOTE]
