Yeah the contractors trucks say Fedex on the also.

Most contractors have their own company name on the side of the sleeper or cargo door.

Blue,green, purple, I can't keep it straight. I see pup sets, one pup, and one pup and a dolly. What I do know is that the tractors pulling the pups are marked FedEx.I don't recall ever seeing a non FedEx tractor pulling FedEx pups. Do you have contractors driving Fedex identified tractors, if not, then these are FedEx drivers. If your trucks are governed to 65 then my Volvo must be slower than I thought but it sure is comfy.

As a former contractor, I can verify this. The trucks are plated and insured by FedEx, and run under FedEx's operating rights, so the trucks must say FedEx on the door for legal reasons. As noted, many of the contractors put the name of their company on the sleeper toolbox door.

FedEx requires a paint code (white) and that the drivers wear a FedEx uniform. It's part of the contractual agreement. No driver is an employee of FedEx Ground, they are either contractors, subcontractors or employees of contractors.
