[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5276923, member: 22662"] I don’t know what to tell you. When 1400 contractors sign letters of concern, contractors can’t sell because their businesses have been devalued, and the company can’t give contracts away, you’d think the problem was obvious. “Well, they’re getting packages picked up and delivered, aren’t they?” Yes. And paying other contractors extremely high rates to do it. That’s their solution rather than having decent contracts to begin with. It’s not hard to check any of this. Routes are listed for sale all over the place. Ground failures in Madison and Milwaukee shouldn’t be hard for anyone in FedEx to confirm. Rockford Illinois as well. But it’s not only in the Midwest. The company wants a different kind of contractor and it will be a mess as it transitions to that version of the model if it can. It’s disappointing. And I don’t think I’ve been anti-FedEx on this site in the slightest. Nor do I think they are evil because I’ll soon be separating from them. It’s a business decision. They are a bad investment in my opinion and I don’t have much faith in the new leadership or in the mystery vision for the company that they seem to be chasing. [/QUOTE]
