[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3822949, member: 58386"] I believe that the overall work experience would have been more positive if Roadway Services had not spun off RPS into Caliber System and kept RPS in the very narrow business to business market. When Fat Freddy tried to make it become all things for all people it over stressed the basic design capabilities of the model. In fact that I was told by Roadway management that Big R was trying to get it back. When we were offered additional routes we turned them down because as you said about 50 bucks a week was about all that additional route was going to make clearly not worth the headaches and like you I too was in a small terminal . After the ISP conversion was completed 4 ISP contractors remained. In just 2 years since the conversion one contractor defaulted another sold and hasn't been seen since. Another one is driving a route himself on a daily basis while his other routes are 50 -60 miles away from him while the party that has recently bought out a contract is domiciled 100 miles or more away unwisely believing that drivers will provide the route governance required for the peanuts they're being paid. With the Mid Atlantic region about to get hit with it's first major winter storm later this week and their drivers some about to experience their first peak season while being nothing short of abandoned out there after dark in Boogie Man country it will be interesting to see how many can keep their wits about them.
