[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3125382, member: 58386"] If you hate it so bad then why in the hell did you get in it in the first place? I was one of the 4 Day 1 contractors who started up the station I operated out of. Each one of us had numerous chances to go multi route but all 4 of us turned it down. Why? First there was not enough money in it versus the risk and the headaches.Second. A long since retired contractor relations manager took me aside where no one could hear and said..."Let me tell you something. This company does not consider the operating agreement to be binding upon itself in any fashion". Third. Command and control.Take a look at the everyday terms under which you operate. This is when you start. This is when you stop.This is what you'll drive This is what you'll wear. This is where you go This is how you'll do it etc etc. Granted you might be permitted to make a few minor adjustments here and there but no matter how many routes you have now these same restrictive specifications, dictates and controls still exist and the more routes you put on the more stringent those dictates become as compared to the earlier years when you only had one route and as a result they couldn't cuff you around and slap you around because you could quit on the spot because you basically nothing to lose.
