i was a pickup and delivery contractor with ground for 7 years. there was a big change in the way we were treated from 1999 to 2006. they wanted all the tax benefits of the contractor model, but more and more towards the end wanted to boss us around like employees.

don't get me wrong i loved what i did and had 1000's of great customers (only one arsehole) but there were some changes in my personal life and an opportunity to get out arose... took it and never looked back.

FedEx Ground is a good way to go. Like with any FedEx truck, you never get hassled by the DOT because they treat FedEx freight like U.S. Mail.

FedEx ground line haul business?
Hello guys,

I am thinking of buying a FedEx Ground linehaul route business. Question to those guys who already owns or knows someone who owns more than one linehaul route. Do you think it's a good idea to buy it in today's economy? I don't know much about this business. What questions should I be asking?

I found some guys on this forum who posted back in 2007, tried to PM them but can't since my post count is <50.

Thanks guys,
B.

Doesn't matter anyways, I was just informed that I've finally been approved with FedEx National LTL. It's hourly!
Congrats! You'll love it over here. First time I ever walked into a room full of drivers and no one was whining.

FedEX Ground
Any word about fed ex ground. They aggressively hire owner operators. Do they really give what they promise? Do they really give you 2000 miles hub to hub and going home every night?
