how many miles do frieght guys get? do they work the docks? does groung work docks? how many miles does ground drivers get? and if you are smart contractor you hav all of the insurance that you need and in reality it cost just a few dollars more than what would be deducted through a group plan. by the way CFM, you are quick to tell ohers what to do, and how they get screwed. where do ou work, what do you do, how much do you ake, what kind of hous at work and home do you have? I have a hundred dollr bill that yuo will not tell anyone or you will feel the need to lie about it. i have another hundred dollar bill that when, if, you answe yuo cannot do it without bashing a contractor or an otr driver for being stupid and woking for free. and i dd not say 38 cents was BIG money, i simply said good money.

Don't you know anything? FedEx Ground has been taken to court countless times because they misclassify their employees as contractors. And in case after case, they LOSE!

Read all about it here: http://www.fedexwatch.org/resources/ground

At least some of you guys got smart and organized a couple of Home Delivery terminals up in Massachusets and Connecticut. Those contractors are now TEAMSTERS! And they'll get the pay, bennies, and working conditions they rightfully DESERVE.

So you think .38 cpm is big money for pulling doubles? What a joke! The guy up in that Kenworth daycab from your sister company pulling FedEx Freight pups is doing the same job for .54 cpm, a pension/401k, and top-flight health insurance. What kind of benefits do you get if you even get any? What kind of retirement plan do you have? Oh yeah, I know. They're called Jack and $hit!

What's funny about you jedfxg is that you're getting royally screwed and you don't even realize it. You're like those Japanese soldiers they found on those islands after WWII who didn't even know the war was over. And you know why?

I hate it when people don't know what they are talking about. The package drivers are going after Fedex not the linehaul drivers.

All supposed "contractors" have been mis-classified by FedEx. Therefore, all drivers are technically employees and thus have the legal right to elect a union. Read about the lawsuits and educate yourself before you open your mouth.

You're more mis-informed then this jedfxg guy. At least you can spell, though.

So how is FedEx Ground different than any other owner-operator company out there?

I understand that. I am wondering why FedEx is being singled out among all the other o/o companies out there, as being unfair, denying benefits, etc.? What is it that makes Fedex' treatment of drivers worse?

because they are jealous, and do not understand the system. we are treated like any o/o at any other company. we do not get company benefits, just like any other o/o out there. we o haveto wear uniform and we have to pay for them...that kinda sucks, but they are very cheap, nhing to bitch about. most dedicated runs pay upward of 2400 miles a week, mine does 2610. lots and lots of hometime, no bumbing docks, no looking for parking in truckstops. if that sucks, then so be it. oh,and we only pay 1.249 for fuel. i make a good living and get to watch my kids grow up and spend time with my wife. i can see why everyone is talking about how bad we suck, especially those that do not work thre and hav be misinformed.

You're not a contractor, you work for one. I would like to know what kind of medical benefits you have for your family and how much you pay. Do you have a 401k? And if so, how much does the contractor match? I know you're not getting a pension so I won't even ask about that. And why do you pay out of your own pocket for company uniforms?

How's that .38 cpm working out for you, Jed? :lol: Hey, you could go to JB Hunt and get a .03 cpm raise! :lol: :lol:
