[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 4569391, member: 55017"] I’d arrange a trip with the contractor you are buying from. You’ll need approval from Fedex to purchase so you’ll be well served starting a relationship with local management. Depending how large an operation you’re buying and what type of return you want you can hire enough managers to run day to day ops at the terminal. I go in 3 or 4 days a week, I think it makes for better driver morale and discipline. When I’m gone for more than that they start to get sloppy. I’d plan on being present daily for the first few months of ownership. You’ll probably have a lot of turnover to start as you mold your group to the culture you want. Bad owners that I’ve seen are ones that are never around, pay poorly and poorly maintain their fleet. They don’t last very long. [/QUOTE]
