[QUOTE="NYCFXG, post: 3125332, member: 56621"] Yeah.. I am far from a typical POS contractor. I turn more drivers/helpers away than I hire on a regular basis. I have managed to keep the same managers working for me for the entire time I have had the need for the position. I have had the same core of 8 or so drivers for the last 2 years. It is the other 4 or 5 that get rotated in and out. The people who come to work in this business have absolutely no chance of making what I pay them anywhere else. March of 2016, I offered my entire staff the opportunity to gain health benefits. 4 out of 20 wanted them. The rest wanted the money. I may hate the business I am in, along with the business I am contracted with. But, I recognize my place and have always done right by those who have been willing to do right by me. However, the environment and school of thought is that I need my employees more than they need me. Which, I have proven time and time again that it is simply untrue. I pay sick days. I pay hourly wages. I maintain my routes so that they don't allow much in the way of overtime. I maintain my fleet and purchase new trucks regularly. So, your assessment based on my jaded opinion of this gentleman's loss shows you are equally jaded when it comes to contractors. [/QUOTE]
