[QUOTE="Artee, post: 1897957, member: 24351"] Our director was in a couple weeks ago and was discussing this in passing. Since we are the ones with the 53' trailers picking up all this freight we would like to make longer range plans, be able to plan for volumes, and hire or scale back on the drivers. There are times we have to hire contractors, which is double what we could do it for, because Amazon is heavy that week or month. Amazon will not take FDX phone calls, will not meet with us, and have no desire to talk to us regarding long range plans. They just want us to come in on a daily basis and pick up what they give us. The planning for having their own delivery company is in the works. They are working very closely with OnTrac and would not be surprised if they were to buy them out, along with other small regional carriers. Our director firmly believes that we are just a stop gap until they can get things up and running. It could be next year, could be in 10 years, but at this time it does not appear they are in FedEx's long term plans. [/QUOTE]
