[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4740538, member: 60252"] I was told that I was contracting for one zip code, and could set me own hours with the start of HD. The contract I signed had one zip code. Then they claimed that a single zip code was not allowing them to make 'full use' of the vehicle, and they could fill it wath as much as they wanted. One manager even went so far as to tall me that 'your service area is defined by what is on your manifest when I found packages as far as 50 miles out of my way that wouldn't fint in that contractor's truck. Then there was the 'unlimited' growth potential promised when I wanted to hire another driver in the first month and was flatly deniedwith the excuse that no contractor could have secondary routes until the terminal was serving the entire projected service area. I had wanted to get in early just for the purpose of getting in on the ground floor when more growth in service area was actually occurring. Yes, fedex lies and actually has a whole set of policies not listed in the contract that affect how they apply the contract. [/QUOTE]
