[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3461167, member: 58386"] I won't say it's impossible but based on the average contractor revenue pool the only way I see this happening is that he's driving a route himself and is lucky enough to have a highly compacted, extremely affluent work area where his tires never come in contact with an unpaved surface If he is in fact paying 100% of his employees healthcare premiums and it's a good enough plan (silver or better) there was at one time a modest tax credit but given the ongoing dismantling of the ACA I don't know if it still exists. He might be able to shoulder a "bronze" plan which has lower premiums higher deductibles higher maximum annual out of pocket only covers about 60% of all medical procedures and will only cover his employee not the employees family. Now throw workman's comp in on top of this then he might as just as well give the guy the route. I highly commend the guy for trying to do the right thing but given the way XG places zero value on the contribution made by the guy who physically moves the box from point A to point B what he's doing will become even more challenging going forward no matter how lucrative his work area might be.
