      FedEx ground is the same way. Not FedEx employees; owned by third parties. FedEx knows that in shipping the final mile tends to be the most expensive.

        Did they change? I worked for them as a sorter before they were FedEx Ground, and at that time it was similar, each driver was a contractor with FXG, but after the lawsuit (dunno what happened with that), and seeing how successful the scam was for Amazon, I wouldn’t be surprised if’n they changed.

          I think that where I live there are small companies that pay for the right to use FedEx logo-ed trucks and uniforms. I have had interactions with them because there was a driver that had a problem with some graffiti that was on the property where I live.

          I contacted FedEx, and they gave me the low down. That was last year.

          The name of the smaller operating companies are on the side of the FedEx trucks in smaller print.

          If that changed I am ignorant to that. Also FedEx is not union.

      Amazon is particularly good at thinking up ways to avoid responsibility, they own no vans, employ no drivers, have no planes nor employ any pilots, and they don’t own any tractors and don’t employ any truck drivers.
