[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2014009, member: 58386"] The uncertainty of the returns is what we are stressing here You could have some pretty impressive years but all it takes is a couple of unforeseen turns of events or a court decision or two a corporate restructing and couple of bad wrecks that's your drivers fault some indispensable employees head off for greener pastures and you can't find suitable replacemnts quickly enough. Don't forget a bunch of complaints or under heavy pressure from the company have to rent a bunch of trucks and hire seasonal temps to cover peak.Try to negotiate something better than alow ball contract when you can't have a contract lawyer on your side present to try to get a contract that X plainly states it doesn't consider binding and is changed every year or whenever it wants. Smelter bait trucks that will no longer take the hammering from drivers who just want to get done the fastest way possible .and you want to throw what? a half a million dollars of borrowed money at this. Look, if you are going for 5 or more routes then you will need to keep at least $75,000 between you and the next unpleasant surprise. [/QUOTE]
