[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 3511039, member: 55017"] They’ve really pulled back on the infrastructure recently. They’ve cancelled a new building around here and pushed back another a few years. Dmac raises an interesting angle, but I think he’s wrong. Costs would increase with corporate owned trucks and employees. Legitimate truck maintenance would cost a lot more than the bubble gum and duct tape that keeps Ground trucks on the road. Work Comp alone would be a massive hit to the profits. Now if a contractor does poorly on the injury front he’s replaced by a new company with lower costs. Fedex employees would be filing claims left and right and the extra manpower to cover for them would eat all that profit up. ISP employed drivers work for them for a reason. If they wanted to work for Fedex they could, but often they prefer the relaxed atmosphere that comes with working for a small company. [/QUOTE]
