FedEx Lawsuit

On the same day that Bloomberg reported a lawsuit that was filed by Fedex drivers in Indiana, WBAL in Baltimore filed a report detailing yet another lawsuit, and this one was filed in Maryland by other Fedex drivers.  The claims described in this story are a bit more detailed, and the quotes from the aggrieved drivers show that they are none too happy with the results of their relationship with Fedex. 

“I was certainly duped, and sold a $25,000 bill of goods,” he said.  That’s what Westcott said he paid for his FedEx truck. It took him four years to pay it off, and it’s been sitting in his driveway ever since he quit.

“The pain is still there. It’s an annoyance. It’s a memory I’d rather not have stare me in the face when I walk out the door,” he said.

Terrance Ellison drove for another division of FedEx — FedEx Ground. He now works in a clothing store.

He and Wescott claim that FedEx classified them as independent contractors to save millions of dollars, but then determined their every move as if they were FedEx employees.”

As the news of this issue continues to spread, it won’t be a surprise if more lawsuits continue to be filed.  If you feel that you have been wronged by this situation, contact the Fedex overtime attorneys at Pulaski & Middleman today to schedule a free initial consultation.
