[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 990141, member: 12508"] Wait for it. I respect you because you're decent ISP. If every ISP behaved like you, the scenario I have described probably wouldn't exist. Please remember the Ground driver from the motorcycle crash in CA. His new contractor had decided to become more profitable by screwing his drivers with a $450 flat rate per week. How many quality drivers are going to work for that kind of crap money? Not many. Other contractors cut corners on maintenance to save money and then threaten drivers who write problems up. Think that might catch up with some of them someday when they run someone over? [B]Or, [/B]that it catches up with FedEx Corporation because they know full well how the ISP deal really operates? When E2 hits the Ground system, the flakes and gremlins that make-up a lot of the Ground driver population are going to feel the pressure. And they're going to eff-up because they [B]are [/B]eff-ups. That means accidents. Lots of them. And because Ground pays so little and expects so much, the real professionals aren't going to come anywhere near Ground. If you luck out and get someone good, they'll leave as soon as they have enough experience to drive for someone who offers decent pay and benefits. FedEx has become an LCD company, throughout the opcos. When you aim for the bottom, you'll get there, and Fred is well on his way to a big pile of lawsuits and check writing. [/QUOTE]
