The .03 came from ES. It was explained to me that it comes from FEDEX's part of their % and not charged back to the truck that took the load. The arrangement relieves FEDEX of many tasks associated with the contract....
I am surprised that it seems so few had knowledge of this. We have been comparing numbers for almost a year now (as anyone should before jumping in) and the program gives a unique advantage for those who sign up. Your CC or CR could/should give you the details, or call ES direct. That is what we...
Don't think so, I remember a some time back the term "all inclusive" was used in calculating %. Meaning if you recv'd the offer and you didn't respond, it is a refusal. Simply, if you don't say yes during the time limit, you are dinged.
My best guess is it is a liability/employee-contractor move. And that data base is tantalizing! Contract Relations told me that they (Expedite Services) are using their own data from their own fleet, but I have seen my runs on it so it is from FEDEX's data base...sorta thought everyone was in...
You remove your truck from FEDEX and put it with Expedite Services to run for FEDEX as you have done before. Expedite services has better discounts on fuel and tires etc. FEDEX pay Expedite .03 per mile for every mile you run to cover addmin. expenses. We have two friends that have placed their...
You can get all that information right now! All you have to do is put your truck with Expedite Services and you will have access to a tremendous amount of critical data (derived from Fedex's data base) to aid in making business decisions.
Very sad indeed, it says much about the character of the ones that advance their career with such tactics. I have seen this used in the finance industry. They just have to move fast enough to be comfy in their new position before it fails. It always gets blamed on someone else or something else....
Agreed on the "short term" but that short term would be long enough for the one implementing this business model to show some very strong spreadsheet numbers which will result in their upward movement on that corporate ladder. Their replacement will be found at fault when the model collapses.
A loss of more trucks is what they want (to be replaced by O/Os and drivers that don't really understand this business). The biggest expense that any company is able to avoid by using contractors is idle assets. They don't have to pay for the care and feeding of all these contractors and their...
Don't toss your Dickies just yet...they didn't say which "Navy". Since it is an international company, I am sure your Dickies will be in compliance. :cool:
