Thanks to the handful of legit responses!Not sure how a general industry tech question ended up so toxic? I feel, to keep the convo a little more focused and to hopefully stop any further derailing I need to justify why I have for 14 years Chosen to operate a CSA?:
1. If I was unhappy, I would sell.
2. My 5 drivers & 1 BC have 100% paid healthcare. (And it’s actually a damn good plan) We do not currently have dental but are looking into vision through a new Costco plan.
3. My drivers work between 35-40 hrs a week.
4. Year 1 drivers get 1 paid week, year 2 drivers get 2 weeks. 3 after 5.
5 (this is state mandated but)we do give 1 hour sick pay for every 40 hours worked.
6.if I was unprofitable, I would sell.
7. If I was “in over my head”, I would sell.
8. Drivers average between 18$-24$/ hour.
9. I am not an absentee owner. M-friend @ term @ 4:45 everyday, screaming @ loaders, mgmt and belt Mgrs, pretrips, small repairs and driver concerns, pickup lists etc.
10. If I was 1/10 as bitter about any venture as SOME of the logistics professionals in here, I sure as heck wouldn’t continue to relive my “nightmare” day in and day out on this site trying to convince everyone else that FXG is a bad investment for everyone, every time always.
Thanks again for those responses that were related to my original question. I even appreciate the fact that some showed me a picture of random maps and gladly welcome, along with genuine app/map success stories, pictures of idk, vis-a-vis markers!
