Rich,

I talked to one of my sons' drivers last night about the insurance when I ferried him down to pick up his truck from the shop. He's actually an ex-contractor (my son bought his route from him and he now just drives) - he's been around for 4 years or thereabouts ... so he outta know. He basically said that yes, contractors can buy health insurance through Fedex, although he claimed it is not the same as the Fedex employees have (which is very good apparently), and that the coverage isn't all that great. He said it might be good for younger guys buf if you are older it ain't so great (he's probably in his mid to late 50's)
