[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 810655, member: 22662"] No offense taken. I think there are drivers running 14 hours because the company in the last several year has been ridiculous in not approving new routes/contracts. They would use what are called "supplementals", basically contractors hiring drivers to run a route but only being paid about 70% of an actual contracted route. When that happens the contractor has much less capital to spend on vehicle, insurance, driver, etc. I literally had to stop running a supplemental several years ago to finally get the company to make it into a route. Of course that was the route that handles all the Hon office furniture accounts in the area and the company decided to spend an extra 30 grand to keep a multi-million dollar shipper. Not exactly rocket science on their part, but they are very tight with money. ISP should change that significantly. Alot more input about routes, shippers, customer needs and contractor needs to provide service. [/QUOTE]
