[QUOTE="dvalleyjim, post: 950992, member: 36471"] yeah i get your point about doing it right but I started with Roadway Package system and that is what everyone at our terminal did, 1099. Sure I had restless nights of audits and penalties going back years. I know you think I don't know how to run a business, I guess you maybe right, but I've done it for 18 yrs. now. All i can say that the profit is now gone and I have more people after me for taxes than I ever have before. And it was fedex's insistance on micro managing our businesses that got them in trouble, not people like me. Look the point was if they had so much control over our methods down to what finger you should have your truck keys on then people were saying I should be any employee and not carry so much liability and expense. What happened was Fedex made the contractor "do it right" and was able to continue to do business as usual. Thus being said I think they have now satisfied all the labor laws they were accused of breaking and now have excellent union protection with the new ISP model. I was never one to say that I can't work within there rules. I just need to make money or I'm not in business. I also have liked being a Fedex contractor. I just ain't stupid. Don't tell me it's this when I know what it really that. [/QUOTE]
