[QUOTE="dvalleyjim, post: 955312, member: 36471"] Yep my drivers tend to stay 5-7yrs. The problem at ground is getting new drivers approved. I use to be able to hire my own drivers and train them, now Fedex has to approve my drivers before I can hire them. Pretty much leaves out loaders who want to got to driver positions since they would have to have driving experience in the same industry in the same truck. Also this experience has to be within the last 6 mos. As far as contracting, drivers no longer have a chance to move into contracting positions. Now adays you have to have 75-100g to buy a route (how you ever pay that pack I don't know, I guess you don't make any money). The only route movements are those being bought up by the big entrepenuers who own multiple routes. Not much room for growth for a ground driver nowadays. [/QUOTE]
