[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5472020, member: 58386"] For as long as it lasts. How long that will be is anyone's guess. Once again it comes back to the basic purpose of using them. They exist for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only. One is to supply FDX with trucking and labor at the a cost that is among if not the lowest in the industry and to serve as a firewall against the incursion of a union represented workforce. All of which is being done despite X having made it abundantly clear that it is NOT in the business of creating enterprise value for third party entities. Now if enough people are still willing to do Fat Freddy's dirty work for what he's willing to pay then ground will continue to limp along. Probably the biggest challenge facing contractors when it comes to fulfilling Fat Freddy's demands will continue to be manpower. The US birth rate is the currently quite low including last year when the US birth rate was the lowest since 1930. Combined with low pay and minimal to zero benefits lugging boxes for a contractor will continue to be transitional short term employment. here today....gone tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
