Name the state department Ex would submit the structure to? Then call that state department and inquire if it was submitted. Read, do a little homework, sheesh. ISP as I said before will ruin contractors before Ex, that is how it is set up, by your boss. ISP will have to deal with union efforts, worker issues, rising costs. I know you aren't big enough for union efforts....yet. Wait until only three or four of you own the terminal (one being just like Sweet Lou in Md), then you will show up on the radar, bigger may not be better for you. Your fellow ISP and their attitude could very well ruin your business. When the big ISP (still small potatoes in real world) has to account for constant legal retention into the structure, profits will be much smaller. Your customer (Ex) will just want to know if you are going to make 99%, rest is your problem.
