[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3442041, member: 58386"] How many of your drivers are going to be willing to go from a 60 hour straight time zero benefit work week to a 70 hour straight time zero benefit work week or to a split 5 day work week with a day off in the middle of the week and have to work every Saturday? Furthermore it would appear that contractors are going to have to have a lot of costly additional assets available at all times in order to meet maximum volume requirements regardless of whether or not you're running at 100% of max or spending all summer running at an average of 70%. The American worker lives from paycheck to paycheck and it you don't have a family sustainable one for him every Friday he's going to go where he can get one. So in the end you may have to keep a lot of expensive redundancy standing by including not only trucks you may not have a lot use for but paid as full time manpower that you only use part time . All of which is required in order to maintain contractual compliance because route proficient manpower that you can call out on a moments notice could be too scarce in number to be considered an effective solution and they're not going to sit by the phone all day waiting for you to call.
