[QUOTE="gixxer squid, post: 1684207, member: 53297"] Interesting. They have given every contractor by June 15 to get everything on their (fedex) list fixed or we cannot enter into negations (LOL) for ISP. We have had to repaint 6 of our trucks at a cost of 2400 per truck including new decals. I will admit, 2 or maybe 3 at most needed a touch up but all 6, no way. There goes 3 months of profits now. On one of the trucks, the loaders leaned boxes all up the side scratching our 1 week old truck, luckily we went to manager with photo's and he actually accepted responsibility and is going to have the truck fixed. Another truck just painted our :censored: driver was pulling forward, yes forward, not backing into, out of his numbered space and side swiped the yellow pole leaving scratches 10 feet down the side. To make matters worse, he did not tell us and I saw and he said he didn't know it happened. LOL Serious gouges down the side and you can't feel it. He was let go....... We are also dealing with the CARB laws in California. We were FORCED into getting rid of 2 trucks, a 86 and 89 because of the laws in Cali and them being over the new mandatory age. The saddest part about that was that these TWO trucks gave us the absolute least amount of maintenance including the newer trucks in our fleet. Those 2 trucks while not pretty outside, were superstars. Now we have two truck payments that we did not have before. There goes profits again.... I think my friend that things have changed and they have tightened the screws for ISP from whence some of you guys initially got in.... [/QUOTE]
