[QUOTE="NYCFXG, post: 1953499, member: 56621"] There is a guy that just got bought out that had been doing 200 stops a day for the last 3 years by himself and on really heavy days had his son help him. He makes more money than any of us. More routes does not mean more money. It means more money required to keep up with the growth. My biggest mistake was buying my routes because they were poised for the highest growth. I got exactly what I bargained for. My avg volume increased over 30% and the money required to keep up with it eats into what I should be putting towards my initial investment. Common theme in conversations between us contractors is we don't do this for profit, we do it for equity. That would be all well and good if the market was liquid and people were buying routes. But, no one in their right mind would get into this business if they knew what it was all about. [/QUOTE]
