[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2915000, member: 58386"] Notice the key sentence here "We HAD stable growth or 15 years." Sooner or later that growth will level off and could quite possibly go down. Nevertheless you are only as good as the economy of the area you serve. If you are in a prosperous metro area with a growing population and increasing per capita consumption and remember it is a purely consumption based business you might be able to create some equity despite G's plainly stated mission of obtaining very low cost trucking and labor not the creation of contractor equity. Likewise as you pointed out finding somebody willing to meet or exceed the production of your average UPS driver and do it for a fraction of the wage and no benefits is paramount and finding qualified individuals willing to do that will not get any easier as time goes by. So it all comes down to two inescapable realities. As long as the numbers on the side of the truck are Ground's not yours and the freight coming down the belt belong's to Ground not you the fate of the wealth accumulation and the hope for which you cling to will always be in the hands of someone other than yourself.
