I was just about to ask if we have any FReepers who are FedEx “employess.” And what they have to say about this situation.
Enquiring minds want to know.

Well, I do work at the corporate HQ, accounts payable, so I don't drive or deliver. Still the way I understand it is that under the old RPS system the drivers were contractors and under Fed Ex, we kept them that way. The drivers can hire help and whatever as they are needed, they can even have more than one vehicle, and we do assist them with maintenance on their vehicles and supplies. It's sort of like if you opened up a franchise with McDonalds for example.
I think this IRS ruling is ludicrious, nothing more than a shakedown, so I hope it is appealed and struck down. $319 mllion to pay, that would really hurt.
