[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3558414, member: 58386"] All you have to say to your nephew is simply this: ....." look you wanted in there badly enough now deal with it." The problem is too many people are sharing the same mindset. All you have to do is to buy up some routes then just sit back and count up the money. As for using personal vehicles to make package delivery. Granted, it was more than a decade ago but we received word from the company loss prevention people that we were not under any circumstances to deliver using our personal vehicles. A well meaning seasonal temp took a couple boxes with them to drop off on his way home after work....He was in a very serious wreck. In addition anybody who gets the idea of using their own vehicles to delivery boxes needs to first contact their vehicle insurer first. No matter what additional liability X claims it will cover check with your insurer first and made certain that you get what X is claiming they are willing to do in writing on company letterhead. As for your nephew my only advice is to find out as soon as possible from X just what measures they are willing to take and fund themselves in preparation for what might be an unprecedented summer volume spike. If the answer as expected is doing nothing then he must immediately begin to prepare in terms of additional machines and manpower and be willing to spare no expense in order to do so. It must be starting to worry some people. Yesterday, i saw a posting from a southern state driver recruiting company stating that Fedex has ordered them to immediately accelerate and expand their efforts to procure more drivers for contractors ahead of what many fear might happen including Fedex. Remember too over the past decade X has undertaken a large and expensive expansion campaign and no doubt sees the potential UPS/IBT showdown as a chance to put that expanded capacity to use and might not have a lot of tolerance for any contractor who fails to up size and be prepared despite that fact that the contractor is operating at 100% of his contracted capacity.
