[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 1847775, member: 58386"] Guys you really nailed it. Supplementals lose money . Moreover they end up going out on a continous daily basis. That's why I've always said that they are not supplementals, they're noncontracted routes. Given the savings that supplementals save X ask yourself this question. What would be the incentive for X to convert a noncontracted route to a contracted route when the desired effect is already being realized? DMAC you and thank you have offered an interesting concept. A company employee but one who owns and leases to X a truck . In the face of a growing avalanche of law suits X still has a variety of alternative business models to offer inorder to apease it's addiction to cheap trucking and cheap labor. Anoother thing to keep in mind. Your TM may try to tell you that you have to do 99% service every day. The contract atleast the one I signed called for a "competive" level of daily service. It makes no mention about 99%. Be open to all possibilities given what is to be a nightmare of a peak season Good Luck to all. P.S. DMAC 1. I now what you mean by depreciation. Trucks are some of the fastest depreciating pieces of equipment known to the U.S. economy. When I packed it in in May 2015. My one truck had 340,000 miles on it. The other 489,000 miles. [/QUOTE]
