[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4362165, member: 58386"] An industry analyst I listened to a few weeks ago pointed out that the cost to the carrier of the so called "last mile" is actually higher than the cost of all the other transit miles combined. And it's like you said contractors are going to be required to up size rapidly as well as finding somebody who would actually be willing to try and meet the required production, precision behavior and work attendance requirements for the kind of money we're talking about here. I've never heard if Amazon delivery contractors have goodwill. Now Ground contractors do have it but only thanks to the threat of an Internal Revenue Lawsuit do they have it. So they might be able to salvage something out of their investment by finding some poor unsuspecting slug who can be convinced to put up every cent of money he has in order to have a go at it.
