[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 3133955, member: 55017"] It's a point system. If you can't cover the run the hub will give it to another contractor and you loose points. Do that often enough and you loose the run. Some contractors work out deals to cover each other's stuff, but I'm not sure how points work in that case. It probably earns points for the contractor that covers it but doesn't penalize the one that sub-contracted it. I hear it's been hard to afford to keep backup drivers around lately. Used to be guys would have standby drivers and grab work as it came up, but they are paying too little for that work to make it profitable to have a guy on standby. [/QUOTE]
