[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 1806217, member: 58386"] Mr. It will be fine. I was a day 1 contractor. One of 4 guys who got our terminal started. I was recruited by RPS and left a management position to help with the startup and helped keep it from closing twice in it's first 3 years of operation along with 3 ownership changes, plus 10 terminal managers all with their own style and agenda . As for multi-route operation. We had three multi-route operators who quit when FXG fired their drivers and they had no one to replace them. You see I operated in an expansive, mountainous, poorly accessible sparsely populated rural area with a population that is ageing and decreasing in number. As for a labor pool of qualified drivers, they can go out on the gas rigs, drive water truck or sand tanker or lay pipeline and make twice as much compared to working for an FXG contractor. I am quite certain that if you had to compete in a similar market you would not feel as secure as you seem to indicate when it comes to hiring and retaining help. In a setting such as that, the fact that FXG retains complete control over everything and you as a contractor have absolutely no recourse under the law is never more evident. As for the ACA, I studied and learned enough about it to enable me to instruct and help enroll several contractor employees who today continue to thank me when I see them and those who blew me off when I tried to help them now after paying the penalty tell me that they wish they had not so.
