45 days? We had a guy get cancer and a bunch of contractors pooled together a month worth of vacation weeks so he wouldn't lose the route before he could sell it. FedEx doesn't care about anything but getting the route serviced. If you can't do it they will find someone who will.

Well that's good and it's nice to see that you guys don't have a bunch of snakes for fellow contractors, maybe it only applies to linehaul, but if you go to my ground biz and click on linehaul, then click linehaul run assignments, then scroll down to the heading 'no driver no replacement' it explains that the IC Business has 45 days to come to solution for getting the run covered, in the meantime it's covered by unassigned board, I realize it's in the linehaul section but what caught my attention was the wording, they say IC Business, therefore I assume it applies to either a linehaul or p&d IC Business , maybe I am mistaken, what I do know is that I had to research these rules when I was put into a situation where I wanted to bid a run at my terminal, my tractor had the points to out bid the other tractors at the terminal at that time, however the hub (that it is in a different state) that over sees and has overall control of our linehaul was permitting their contractors to bid on the run as well and some had tractors with more points than mine, I was able to do the research and found that unless those contractors had a tractor domiciled at our terminal for six or more months only then could they bid the run, well none of them did and I was able to present my argument to the linehaul manager for that hub and it was determined that I was right and they all had to withdrawl their bids, I realize that's a different situation but I found that rule in the same place I found the 45 day one, it was under the heading Transfers or Tractor Transfers or something to that effect.
