[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2506679, member: 58386"] STFXG is right. It would be a risky . Your success is entirely dependent on your ability to get employees willing to match a UPS drivers production for a fraction of the compensation. That is not easy to do. I know where there is a 5 route operation that X wants sold. They have simply had it with the guy. It is located in the Mid Atlantic Region.If that is what might interest you then you will have to contact the terminal to see what can be done about it. In the past whenever there was a volume spike X would bring in hourly temps throw them in rental trucks and send them out. That is no longer the case and now requires the contractor to purchase extra vehicles and try to compile a list of extra manpower that can be called out on a moments notice to handle that overflow. Those trucks could be parked for long periods of time and the odds of finding somebody who is looking for casual employment who is physically able and can pass a drug test . extremely low. As for buying under scale then try to acquire enough route to get there, I don't thing you have have enough time. You could probably acquire that 5 route I mentioned but in simple terms pal, it's a headache you don't need. [/QUOTE]
