[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 2705775, member: 66633"] I missed your post Bacha, but I do agree along the lines with what you are saying. The rural routes make this a tough investment with X if they invoke Express into the mix. I'm sorry to hear about that and made sure to keep myself away from anything over 120+ miles a day. I'm fortunate because my routes do around 80 miles a day and when we move to the new building will do close to 40-50 miles a day. As far as the contractors doing what we just described, it all comes down to a mix of personalities and being able to deal with the new scaled system, especially the straight trucks. I can tell you that out of my hub there were a couple of singles who did not survive this. I think they're going to be in for a rude awakening when they see that they aren't getting any more money than they had hoped for, especially if their contractor can't negotiate properly they may even lose money. The reality of it is is that the contractor who wanted to take those under his wing is pretty much the wheeler dealer of their funds. Especially if he mixed straight trucks and step van routes together, there is no way to divide these funds out under ISP since the PSA system is gone. As far as an investor or broker, it's not a bad idea to try and dump it on someone else when all else fails. After all if you're getting money and getting out, why should you care about then when you're getting out now? Seems we think alike. [/QUOTE]
