[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 990083, member: 12508"] In a word...ACCIDENTS. Remember, the "test" for independent contractor status is "degree of control". For what Ground pays you aren't generally going to get professional drivers. Given the increasing incidence of Ground accidents as LCD takes hold, FedEx will have to exert even more control over it's non-employee employees. Couple that with the XS and E2 products and you have a recipe to bring the whole scam down. If Igor and Boris can't avoid running into things now, wait until they have some real time pressure. I would also expect the DOT and various local agencies to start watching Ground more closely. Lawyers, pay attention, because there is a pile of money to be made off the Ground scam. ISP's who don't maintain their trucks, $450 per week drivers cutting corners? Ka-ching!!$$$ [/QUOTE]
