[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 1765959, member: 55017"] I don't know of any shipper that would account for 70% of a route's deliveries. That doesn't make sense. I do all my hiring off the street and have very few issues. My fleet is well maintained and when trucks get too old I buy new. There are some diminishing returns on getting too big. The profit margin per route shrinks when you add in the cost of the extra contingency resources, but profit still ticks up some. No we can't and will never be able to pay UPS wages, but we can easily pay more than local average for light duty truck drivers. We can train guys with no experience, they are typically happy with our wages when they come out of some warehouse job. If they stick around for a few years and move on with their new experience under their belt, I'm fine with that. [/QUOTE]
