[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3869025, member: 58386"] From the very beginning RPS never tried to hide the fact that they were not in the enterprise building business. Not created for the purpose of creating equity for contractors but rather to acquire trucking and labor at the lowest possible cost. Only under the threat of an IRS lawsuit did they grudgingly granted goodwill in 1993 In addition to the bad and getting worse demographics of the area I was in (somebody has to cover it) I wasn't about to send somebody out there for the kind of money I was going to have available to pay them just to destroy their bodies the same way that job destroyed mine. This is why I try to warn people interested in this caper by pointing to the fact that you are about as far away from actually owning a business as you can get. This is when you start. This is when you stop. This is what you drive. This is what you wear. This is where you go. This is how you do it. etc etc. And here's the bad part. With the economy tanking and margins at express expected to be severely impacted God help the poor Ground slugs who have signed on and those who work for them. When Roadway had it the work experience wasn't great but you could live with it because they was limited amount of humanity exhibited by Big R but when Fat Freddy got a hold of it that was among the first things to go. When it was to his benefit you were a contractor. When it was to his benefit you were an employee. [/QUOTE]
