[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 1991096, member: 58386"] Mr.GT: Unlike you guys I don't look at the company through rose colored glasses. I look at it on the basis of it's dark history and it's low road business practices RPS was the product of a late 1970's court ruling whereby if a company that was in a defined benefit pension plan could show that they over contributed they could sue for a refund.Roadway boy wonder sued and the Teamsters had to hork up a 300 million dollar hair ball. That's where he got the money to start RPS and believe me the Teamsters have'nt forgot. I was a Day 1 at one of the first rural terminals to start up. We signed on as 'independent contractors" but we didn't even have goodwill. That's right, NO GOODWILL and NO PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. If you wanted to quit you had to give them a 30 day, that's right 30 day notice . You got nothing for the route and if nobody took the truck lease it went back to leasing company and you walked away nothing except a big credit score black eye. It was only and ONLY under the threat of a 1993 Internal Revenue Service. lawsuit did the company grudgenly grant us goodwill and proprietary rights That is the one and only reason why to day you arrogant people have multiple routes and the goodwill first required to have them. And you should see what they tried to do to us after the ruling. Today X says that it was an flawed business model. Like hell it was .It was just fine as long as they could get away with it. I could go on all day talking about many other examples of bad treatment of so called contractors but this one indisputable fact stands above all else. What you guys who have come on in recent years have today came as the result and only as the result of the rule of law prevailing.And the future will be more impacted by court rulings than anything else. You newbee's can go on gleefully answering to their every beckon call but I know what the practices of this company were once like and would still be in effect today if the law had not intervened.
