[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2008444, member: 58386"] Under current transitions it's 4 routes in small terminals 5 in larger. Perhaps what you're thinking about getting into can best be described by borrowing a term used in stock trading.'This isn't for widows and orphans". Likewise whether you are an IC or ISP one thing remains constant. If someone other than yourself is driving that route and he has no ownership interest he's your employee . If you're going out and borrowing a resevoir full of money to buy an operation make him open up the books and then you may find out the real reason they are selling. And don't forget, your employees are under TaftHartley and collective bargaining so they can vote to go union.Think you're too small for that to happen? The municipal police department where I live all 6 officers are Teamster. Consider also the fact that the IC contractors at the terminal I was at , we were told that the conversion to ISP in our state wasn't even on the table for discussion. Just 5 months later they tell us we're going ISP, despite the fact that the IC contract we were operating under did not expire for 4 more months. Again nothing's binding on Ground. [/QUOTE]
