Are the home delivery routes that deliver next-day air packages also IC’s, or are they employees?

I have a friend who recently bought a FedEx Ground delivery route (formerly Roadway). I asked him, since he’s an owner and a one-man show, what happens if he’s sick or has a family emergency? He said, “they get someone else to cover it.”

I doubt that “someone else” makes any more money that day (but I really don’t know).
