Is FedEx ground still going to hire temp agency drivers to help with the overflow?
One hub is doing away with that & its on the subcontractor to service their zip codes.. They better get on the ball and not rely just on the free craigslist ads to find "professional drivers"
. While another hub hired about 20 hourlies last peak to help out. . Guess it varies depending on geographic areas//

They are moving away from temps as much as possible. The stations will still hire a few to cover right to decline stops. A temp in a straight truck is much cheaper than outside linehaul power.
They have been dumping some money to ISPs earlier so they can get staff and equipment before the volume actually spikes. I think we only had 1 or 2 temps last year. The year before it was around 20.
Craigslist is $25 to post an ad, it yields the same results as any of the other job posting sites. I've gotten the same resumes from other sites. Job seekers aren't as snooty as you imply.

Not my intended implication, but I know of a few cdl drivers at this one hub & I guess their contractor s are paying them better than a feeder company to stay at HD...
Plus, I'm now seeing a few temp agencies already hiring for the upcoming peak season on craigslist/
It's easy work if the contractor acknowledge his/her frontline drivers and actually pays monthly bonuses for not having disputes/claims/follow-ups on their route, as well as giving the driver a service area close to their home to reduce their commute times... Why I haven't moved on to greener pastures yet.

In my terminal there is a contractor that is trying to get all the contractors not to sign this b.s. What would x do if nobody signed, nobody buy nobody sell. Let's face it buyers don't want to buy they are being forced. Sellers are also being forced. The problem with his idea is those lousy bottom feeders.
He's trying to form a defacto union. Ask Express how well that works.
I take it you won't be signing or selling?

What terminal exactly? I'll send them a business plan for all the free stuff. Set it up, run it until I find a buyer. Easy money.
I'm betting you'll find reasons not to trust the others and they will all find reasons not to trust the others.
Besides, X has a contract with each entity, not.the group. They can pick a contractor and make an example of contract termination fairly quickly and see how many "bottom feeders" they can churn up.
I would like to see how it played out though.
Good point, we will have many things to talk about. The majority of the terminal is fed up. Multiple route owners too. I hope we can come up with something. I know it will just be a small blip on the screen for x, but you have to start somewhere. Lawsuit talks are gaining traction.
I would not put any faith in your plan with any multi owners with more than 2-3. Too much to lose way to little to gain (if even break even). I am interested in the turn out too, but also have an RFI ready. "BOTTOM FEEDERS" (smart people who want business for free) UNITE!!!

I would expect the current multiple owners to pretend to be as outraged as you. Tell you all they are with you and on board. Then head in to the senior manger's office and hand them a plan to cover a handful of routes at a moments notice. When it comes to business I wouldn't trust any contractor.

Just telling it like it is
Can you sell a route to someone looking to get up to scale in another terminal? I have a highly profitable route I bought a few years ago that I am looking to move for pennies on the dollar, just looking to recover the balance of my note.
Is there anywhere else I can post to see if there is interest?

People are going to be pissed off no matter what x does. All the warning signs you ever needed have been placed in front of our faces for years. "FY15 contract all but spelled out, ISP is coming to a terminal near you". Those that purchased a single psa in the last year, well they either never read the papers or they never understood what they read and signed anyways. Harsh but its the truth. Happens in every terminal too.
Am i? What have I said that is untrue?

Men will do what's in the best interest of themselves as well as their families. Risking their livelihood to make some point to a multinational corporation will likely not be in their best interest. Playing along and acquiring more potential revenue for free will be in their best interest. People are selfish, take the money.
