[QUOTE="gixxer squid, post: 1436285, member: 53297"] I believe its more like hallucinating :) From what I have gathered. You may get more per stop and less per box, you may get more per box and less per stop, you may get more per stop and box but no fuel mileage……..Anyway you cut it, your not going to come out ahead because the number crunchers have everything in their favor. If you think you to good of a deal, you probably haven't read the fine print. Fedex gives a rats ass whether you are loosing money or not, as long as its not "their" money thats being lost they could care less. Think about why the "ground and home delivery" model is their cash cow. No benefits paid whatsoever, they have no truck maintenance to worry about, they don't have to keep guys on payroll in the event someone doesn't show up to drive in their spot. Everything and I mean everything is on "YOUR" shoulders, its your burden the minute the contract is signed. My advice again to you in order: 1. Sell as quick as you can 2. Join forces with another to spread risk which is a risk in itself 3. Buy more routes to get to scale [/QUOTE]
