[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2037220, member: 58386"] ringnrun: When Dan Sullivan and those 2 UPS managers got together at a hotel out by the Pitsburgh Airport to draw up the design for RPS the focus was only on the largest metro areas in the country. The rural areas never have and never will be of interest to the company. Furthermore in the interest of getting the cheapest labor possible they proclaimed the work force "independent contractors" while maintaining the complete control of the work force as evidenced by the fact that initially you as a "contractor" had no goodwill, no proprietary rights and only 1 route. If you wanted to quit you had to give 30 day notice and try to find somebody to take the lease and the route for free because you had no goodwill. It was only due to the threat of an Internal Revenue Service lawsuit and losses in subsequent lawsuits in later years did the company grudging grant what little autonomy you ahe today and believe if the company had everything it's own way you still wouldn't have it today.
