[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2704098, member: 58386"] A new perspective on the matter and much appreciated. I don't even want to think about what this is going to be like for contractors in depressed rural areas like the one I operated in which consisted of 34 zip codes stretched across 4 large rural counties and included more than 3000 miles of RD mail carrier miles on unpaved township turkey trails so narrow and in such poor condition that 15-20 MPH was the best you could do without tearing the suspension out from under you because that was all they were designed for. Merging 4-5 single routes under 1 C-Corp with separate profit centers could work if all routes have the same overall profitability all members agree to take the same modest salary draw and each profit center is required to maintain minimum capital reserves. Few people would be willing to abide by the discipline required to make it a success. The clearly better way and I'm seeing more of this is 4or 5 single route contractors packaging together their routes and sell them for more than what they are worth to somebody from the investor class who only sees if from the here and now and not what's coming later.
