[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4135970, member: 58386"] In the end your success will depend heavily on your ability to find people willing to go out there every day in any kind of weather and match and exceed the daily production of the average UPS driver for about 60% of the wages and zero benefits. The money stream will not allow for much more. Keep in mind something here. As a contractor you're not doing anything XG can't do for themselves except in two key areas. Provide XG with trucking and labor that's even cheaper than they can get it themselves and JOB ONE will to be to keep the Teamster's out. Your employees will be under Taft Hartley/National Labor Relations Act and can go union on a union local by local basis. At the core of the matter you'll be putting an awful lot of money at risk in exchange for a one sided one year contract that is not binding upon XG because there's no governing legal authority in place that can make it binding upon them. So don't spend too much time crunching the numbers. Instead look more closely at the ulterior motives behind this so called "independent contractor" model. Most importantly don't just assume that you'll always have an inexhaustible supply of cheap fast food zero benefit labor walking through that door every day and don't be surprised that in the end you'll have to give that driver just about everything the route makes just to get him to climb in that cab.
