[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3131534, member: 58386"] Keep this in mind. The RPS model Sullivan created was designed in the way that allowed Roadway to divest itself of as much risk liability and variables cost as possible while at the same time making it quite clear that the model was not designed to create equity for contractors but rather to acquire trucking and labor at the lowest possible cost. You've been around long enough I'm sure to plainly see that as a contractor that you are simply a small part of a very large but unstable feeder network of cheap labor and cheap trucking. Ground is like an incinerator that burns through huge quantities of the two fuels you provide. As a result sending X freight that is much more time and precision sensitive over to you will require you to provide more fuel that is much more specification sensitive and therefore makes you far more vulnerable to contract non renewal and will not likely make you any wealthier. Nope. Taking on Express freight is a headache you don't need. [/QUOTE]
