FedEx ISP Workbook
As previously noted, FedEx is currently undergoing a nationwide transition to an “ISP” model and contract. Over the next 4 years, FedEx IC contractors will be gradually transitioning to this new contract according to the timeline FedEx has set forth. FedEx contractors who are unfamiliar with the new ISP contract will naturally have many questions about what this new contract will mean for their business. FedEx has put forth a comprehensive workbook which details the the new ISP Agreement and corresponding differences from the old contract.
FedEx Announces ISP Transition Schedule
FedEx announced last month that all contractors would be transitioning to the ISP model by 2020. At the time of the announcement, the details for the transition had not yet been disclosed. Those contractors who were not already operating under the ISP model were made aware that at some point over the next four years, they too would be given a new contract. While these contractors won’t know the details of their contracts until such time as they enter negotiations with FedEx, they now know when their transition window will take place.
