Nope- UPS employee. Get rid of you guys and more work for us. Nothing personal Sonny...You sound like a FedEx board member.
FedEx contractor revolt?

I think youāre mistaken. Itās happening almost daily.
And of course itās happening just as people are getting ERC checks as peak planning is supposed to begin.

Theyāve been far too greedy and way over controlling.

Thatās so true! Grounds starting to get a small taste of it. Iād switch to s brown uniform and drive that tractor trailer.
Wouldnāt take even close to 90%. Several large contractors in cities can back up hubs for an entire peak.
Some might take the ramp up money and pocket it and not hire anyone at all. Supposedly X can get that money back if a contractor āfailsā.
Still interested to see how many just take the ERC money and exit come November. If X continues on the course theyāve been on, that could well be a significant number.

How high does that number get before employee model looks better? At least a employee model gets them the control back they love.

The greed of others has never aroused anger in me. Because greed is sensible, understandable, and relatable.
It's the control-freaks, the superiority complexes, the passive-aggressive types, and an endless stream of idle threats I simply cannot abide.
The little ones will no doubt step in and take as much of it as they can if the premiums are high enough. Trouble is and I'm sure you know that the carrot doesn't dangle on the stick for long until it's pulled back.
By the sounds of things you must have been a graduate of the Gordon ( "greed is good") Gekko School of Ruthless Wealth Accumulation.
There is so much disgust and distrust of the company these days that the small ones will hold out as well. Call it silent shadenfreude.
I donāt think it ever does. The costs of such a model (vehicles, employee wages/benefits) and the control the would have would suddenly be āon the booksā. Stockholders would be mortified.

Absolutely not. Sadly, I have a conscience.
Understanding the motive for bad behavior is a far cry from practicing it.
It will be fine

It would be far cheaper to just make contractors profitable again. That would be easy to do. They are choosing not to.

Welcome to FedEx. This is what exactly has happened to Express over the last 20 years. Express built the brand and the Frontline workers did get to share in that success for quite a while. That is until Federal Express became FedEx.
UPS already owns their trucks.

Fedxeās only option to succeed in the future is merge and have everyone employees. The climate has changed. It will be painful at first, but well worth it after complete. No other way

I just want to make friends!
Would likely require a billion or more dollars upfront, plus millions more in recurring expenses annually, and it would take forever and a day to recoup the upfront costs. It would then take another forever and two days before you might gain any meaningful financial benefit from the merger.
