[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3470110, member: 60252"] Maybe true, but Fedex has changed the rules so many times, and given ultimatums of take it or leave it so often that someone who had a contract several years ago has seen things change. In the past, core zone payments made my remote rural areas profitable enough to have a couple routes and even a supplemental. Now the owner of those routes may have enough invested that it makes selling very difficult. With fedex unilaterally changing things throughout the years, you can't just ignorantly claim that the contractor needs to be aware of the conditions. Fedex changes the conditions. With the requirement to own multiple routes, it could be hard to get adjacent routes that might make those rural routes less costly/more profitable. If the contractor is able to swap packages to another contractor and maybe save an hour for a single delivery, it doesn't make him a bad contractor. It might just mean that he is diligently trying to save himself money by saving his drivers time. [/QUOTE]
