[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 2719254, member: 23516"] Anyone can get the package delivered. There's no arguing that. Meeting the time-definite service requirements is another story. To do so consistently requires a level of control over the last mile operation that Express can't legally maintain in a contractor scenario. I keep brining it back to the level of control that the company needs over the last mile ops because that is vital to the success of the operation. This forum is loaded with posts from contractors saying that they don't have to do [this] if they don't want to, they don't have to do [that] if they don't want to, that they aren't obligated to do more than the bare minimums stated in their agreements, etc. That wouldn't work well at all with the high revenue, low margin Express product.
