[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5120229, member: 58386"] Now you're getting it. Dan Sullivan's creation of third party contractors was NOT to promote entrepreneurialism or build enterprise value for third party contractors. They were created for the purpose of having a third party upon whom he could dump as much risk liability and variable cost onto in order to preserve parent company margins.....That's the part that has never changed . However when Fat Freddy got a hold of it he tried to expand it' into additional markets . Now when you consider the publicly embarrassing service related incidents and the on time service percentages that are beginning to lag behind the two other major carriers the question is will Fat Freddy be willing to accept this condition in return for the attractive margins or will he seek to correct the situation and what measures will he take in an effort to correct it? I've been told that he has to pay his mercenary contractors he calls "contingency contractors" 10 bucks a stop to get them to go around the country plugging the growing number of holes in the network created by contractors who quit unexpectedly. Getting to be quite a costly problem with some mercenary contractors having to stay on site for upwards of 6 months. [/QUOTE]
