[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 1848133, member: 58838"] No the specific number is not in the contract but granting an area is. You can call it "control" but it is protection from stupidity and monopoly. Every terminal is different but they have no interest in the risk of single owned terminals due to past history and lack of contingency plans. You seem to forget the reason why things are so much stricter now is mainly because original contractors abused the system. Go out and deliver if I feel like it mentality or bring half a truck back if I don't feel well. Look at the other side of the equation for two seconds, how would any of us grow as contractors if no one was picking up any boxes or nothing was anywhere close to on time. There is plenty to be unhappy with on the current system I will agree, but we all can't claim to be the only victim we were screwed by contractors who skewed the system due to lack of work ethic and responsibility. None of us could honestly say that Ground would be the logistics monster that it is if the first system was still in place. [/QUOTE]
