[QUOTE="RPSman, post: 3959510, member: 51437"] FedEx did not buy RPS from Roadway Services. They bought Caliber Systems in 1997 after the UPS strike. Roadway Express was spun off as a stand alone company in the mid 90's, way before the acquisition, and our holding company was renamed Caliber Systems. We had to switch to new uniforms, after the Roadway Express spinoff, that said RPS only, as Roadway Express had the rights to the Roadway name. Fed Ex Ground's current "ISP or CSP", whatever they call their contractors, is a different concept from RPS' P & D contractors. 3 routes were the maximum P & D contractors were allowed in the olden days, and they were given to senior P & D contractors & terminal managers' drinking buddies. Most P & D contractors only had one route. One contractor at another terminal brownnosed his way to 4, I heated up the phone lines to contractor relations, luckily for him, I sold out and left before I could instigate legal action against RPS. The terminal manager that gave the guy 4 routes, also broke the rules when the HD routes were opened, the manager gave 1 to each existing contractor. Now the FEG contractors have like 12 to 20 routes, and FEG is using the old "cartage company concept" that Airborne Express used for years, and that DHL continued when they bought Airborne. [/QUOTE]
