[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4757664, member: 60252"] I had the max routes the terminal allowed, clown, and the limits they placed were the reason I was dissatisfied I won my cases against fedex, and was glad to walk away. Unlike you, I didn't want to or need to put up with their BS. They weren't following the contract they signed. I had 4 trucks, 3 full time, and one 3/4 time drivers and when another contract became available, they told me I was already past the limit on the number of routes they would allow for a small terminal. I had been promised unlimited potential, which was clearly a lie, and with the limit, it was literally the economy of scale I had been counting on to be able to pay my drivers what they were worth. My drivers earned a MINIMUM of $12 an hour, and $18 an hour for overtime in an area where log truck drivers were making $9 an hour, and minimum wage was ~$8 an hour. I knew from the start, after running delivery vehicles for almost 20 years before that, that I needed at LEAST 5 contracted routes and have 7-8 drivers ready to go. Fedex literally made it impossible for me to run the business they way I wanted to run it, based on information they never disclosed that directly contradicted promises made. And I did have rural areas and still managed a profit on those routes, but barely, but I knew that going in. But when you expect and are promised 'unlimited' growth potential, you can plan making a larger profit through growth. When suddenly that growth potential is not just slowed, but eliminated, suddenly, it is time to move on, which I did. It had NOTHING to do with inability to run a business, and why your posts denigrating everyone who disagrees with you as a failure prove your ignorance. Lack of knowledge of the facts is your ignorance, and you are clearly not bright enough to know that you are making ignorant statements without having all the facts. FEDEX failed, not me. [/QUOTE]
