[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1308087, member: 12508"] What really matters is how a court of law sees the degree of control. I look at Ground as a FedEx-run operation that has ISPs and ICs there as pawns. Sure, they do the work, but FedEx is running the show, and calling the shots as to how the business runs, acceptable conduct, service levels etc. What I see, and hear (anecdotally from this site), is that ICs and ISPs are held to ever more strict standards and disciplined like employees. That discipline flows downhill directly to the drivers. So, FedEx is really the ringmaster of the Ground circus. They know it, Sammy knows it, and the drivers know it. Eventually, the courts will catch-up. [/QUOTE]
