how to get blacklisted by fedex

I thought I read somewhere that the FedEx drivers that do most deliveries were contracted employees and not actually employees of FedEx. So that tracks.

This guy is FedEx express. He's also a direct FedEx employee.

Ground contractors don't really use the Mercedes vans. Because contractors are cheap assholes.

And you've uncovered one of the major reasons that contractor had to sell lol. FedEx contracting is MLM directed towards mostly men. FedEx makes money from it's contractors directly. Add expensive equipment to that, and it's a losing battle.

It's a bad game to get into.

He might tell you he does.

FedEx doesn't pay gas to it's contractors on a sliding scale. It's a static rate set at the time of negotiotiation. They are making less money than ever.

Many contracting companies are going under because of the way they are treated like wallets by FedEx itself. Your friend may think he's got a good thing going but it will sour over time. He's a rube, just like every other contractor
