[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5380055, member: 58386"] Finally the first shot across the bow. Again it comes down to some indisputable facts: 1. Contractors hung around too long. Contract flippers and speculators were coming from all directions offering ridiculous sums of money for routes. Smart contractors took the cash and walked away laughing over their shoulders. The not so smart ones, and the ones with big egos, well,.....they're just walking away. 2. Patton and contractors like him got too big, too unwieldy, too leveraged to easily and quickly downsize leaving them even more subjugated to the absolute power of FDX. 3.. As we discussed earlier, the only thing that matters is what Patton can win in the courts. FDX knows that and got the jump on him. So now he's working from an even bigger disadvantage. 4. Once again it would appear that Patton forgot who's rights he's hauling under and who owns the only freight he has to haul. And in light of the lawsuit that has been filed against him, I wouldn't be surprised if his access to borrowing sources at least for the most part have disappeared. [/QUOTE]
