[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5374023, member: 58386"] Sam, the man has no leverage. He can put on the best stage show Vegas has to offer, with dancing girls and live animal acts but he still has no leverage. The only way he's going to get what he wants for himself and other contractors is through the courts. And just as we saw with the multi state FDX will hammer it with motions and requests for summary judgement taking up years and tons of money which understand I don't want to see it happen but past history clearly shows that FDX will not do anything they believe to be contrary to it's interests unless the courts order them to and I don't see anything different happening in this matter as well. The only effective course of action would be a massive scale downsizing by contractors down to the smallest level that they can get to resisting efforts by management to threaten or blackmailing them into covering routes that have never been profitable and never will be profitable. They simple had no idea as to just how expansive, mountainous, poorly accessible, sparsely populated and appallingly depressed rural America actually is.... until now.....and they don't know what to do about it.
