[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2988446, member: 60252"] You shouldn't need a full-time manager for just 9 drivers. You do however need at least two, preferably three, backup drivers, since at some point you are going to have a situation where one driver quits, another is sick, and another has a family problem. One or two of your drivers should be managing the other drivers, and get reduced hours or extra pay, or manage it yourself. You will need drivers to know multiple routes. A payroll company would be cheap help for you in keeping records. A couple of backup vehicles would help, and at some point you need to do the math where you might have more drivers, more vans, but pay no overtime. If your drivers aren't maxed out daily, when you have a driver or two out for whatever reason, then you can flex the extra work to the rest of your drivers, giving them a little overtime for a while. If you are able to manage, and drive a couple hours a day, your expenses go waaaaaay down. [/QUOTE]
