[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 4221266, member: 58838"] I deducted the amount from what they were claiming was year to date gross sales which in turn severely lowered cash flow numbers. There are many reasons why contractors are selling, and selling much quicker now. The packages have turned us into 1 man furniture delivery companies causing concern of work comp issues as well as drivers that just can’t physically do the job. The terminal I am based out of over the past 2 years has developed an issue where drivers only want 60-80 stops a day or they walk away, I was firm on a route wasn’t a route unless it was 100 delivery stops a day (I don’t know how the contractor now is making money considering threshold numbers are in the tank). These routes have the potential to make a lot of money and in the right area can grow substantially but it will be one of the hardest employee workforce you will ever have and it is probably one of the most stressful businesses you can own because of that. Unfortunately a lot of drivers cause a lot of problems and insane amounts of stress, finding good ones that stick around is like a needle in the haystack. That is the biggest reason most contractors in my area have sold off. [/QUOTE]
