[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3783401, member: 58386"] I was a Day 1 single work area contractor and stayed that way despite having numerous offers to accept additional routes completely free of charge. Why? Several reasons. I live in a depressed rural area whose supply of youthful labor is washing out quickly. In addition, XG was never going to give me enough money to procure the healthy, dedicated and productive work force I would be dependent on. A task made even harder by the fact that around here word of mouth travels as fast or faster than social media and once you've acquired the reputation of being a bad employer who demands too much and pays too little you finished. The other two Day1's took the same approach. When the station converted to ISP all 3 of us left. Of the 4 who remained and converted 1 defaulted 1 sold out for whatever she could salvage out of it. Of the two remaining one is so overwhelmed with turnover that he had to ask one of the Day 1's a 70 year old man with heart problems and an bed fast wife to come back and run a route on a continuous daily basis. In addition the 2 new contractors are also in such dire straits manpower wise that they are running help wanted ads on nationwide job boards. [/QUOTE]
