Patton was a route broker for Ground routes, and also owned 200+ Ground routes at the same time.
At some point, FedEx contractors nationwide (including Patton) began to become far more financially distressed than usual. So one day Patton puffed himself up, swung his dick around, got in front of a news camera, and drew national attention to the plight of FedEx contractors. This was a very ballsy move. Fat Freddy responded by cancelling all of Patton's routes like nothing.
Afterwards, Patton continued to be a broker for Ground routes and STILL kept on talking a big game to suckers and fools all about the fantastic opportunities contracting for FedEx!
Not unlike a pimp who got a big ol' dose of the clap from his best whore, and STILL puts her nasty ass on a street corner every night.
Patton's value is that he thoroughly demonstrated to everybody watching that FedEx is a thoroughly toxic company, only fools buy Ground routes, and you don't mess around with Fat Freddy.
