[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5590241, member: 58386"] Tell me something. Are you currently or have ever been an FXG contractor? I was.... going back to formative days of Roadway Package System. The inequities of the contract back then still continues to this very day. In fact the base design of it is still the same damn thing The difference between then and now is that back then very little money was required up front. "Hasta La Vista, Baby" was simple and easy. Secondly, Roadway Package System stayed within it's two market objectives. To supply Roadway's LTL operations while staying within it's strictly business to business market. Now look what happened and is continuing to happen today. Prime Weasel gets a hold of it. Didn't have cash to buy it Had to issue more shares. Pushes it into expanded markets without ever considering whether or not the contractor model was ever designed for it....it wasn't. But that never stopped him. And now he's pushing them into the next day air market . For contractors operating in depressed rural areas all it will mean is even more bone jarring truck destroying miles across woefully substandard roads at speeds and across bridges higher than rated . Cutting rates and settlements, straight edge shaving contractor margins down to nothing conscripting them to areas that never will be profitable demanding ever larger at risk capital commitments right along with his same...."Here it is mother fornicators. I've got you trapped so eat it and smile" attitude he's always had. So tell us about your experiences. [/QUOTE]
