[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2008337, member: 58386"] Friend: I did it for 23 years and understand I wish you the best but all you have to remember is that change is the only constant and nothings binding. It is never more evident than it is at Ground. A few years back one of the few honest executives at Ground took me outside where none could hear us and said "speaking off the record, the company doesn't consider any term or condition in that contract to be binding upon itself". Furthermore I was harshly criticized by others on this sight because I in their opinion didn't grow . What they didn't realize was that I lived and operated in a part of the country that flat out did not need another small box carrier, USPS, UPS and X express handled what little was there just fine. Democraphics must play role in your decision as well as your success is highly dependent or whether or not you can find qualified and dependable people willing to work for about half what the average UPS driver gets and no benefits simply because G simply will never give you enough money to pay them more as much as you may want to. It is an opportunity but it is full of trappings so read the contract terms carefully, get an attorney's help if you need it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
