[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 2034307, member: 55017"] They've always been able to cancel a contract for anything. The bigger you are the bigger a PITA it is for them to do that, so you'd have to screw up badly for a decent amount of time before it happens in ISP. They've taken everyone down to one year deals now to make it easier which is unfortunate. It's easier for them to accept bids for a work area than to pull a contract in the middle of the term. Management is more hands off in ISP. I'm sure they've been moving that way everywhere in the last few years anyway, but when we transitioned they were noticeably retrained to stay away from day to day operations. The point of ISP and scale is to ensure the person designated as the contractor won't successfully sue for employee benefits. If you have at least 5 trucks on the road it would be hard to be driving 40 hours a week consistently. That's the entire goal. Management will follow up when your drivers screw up, but that's about it. They don't pay attention to how the routes are cut or who's driving them. They don't pay attention to how I spend my time or what I do daily. They just care about the results. [/QUOTE]
