[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3342726, member: 58386"] There will be two main adversaries that you will be in conflict with on an almost daily basis......The company and your fellow contractors. I was a day 1 contractor at a startup terminal back in early nineties when Roadway was just getting this ground package subsidiary underway. There were just 3 total contractors of which I was one of them. We knew each other, worked together as much as we could, defended each other interests despite the fact that each one of us had a territory comprised of multiple rural counties along with dozens of zips. Given the size and scale of X terminals today when it comes to contractors it's everybody for himself and X is constantly playing them off against one another in an effort to get whatever benefit it will produce. In addition if you have to drive a route yourself just to survive your weekends will be consumed by all the vital tasks you had to push back to the weekend. if you have a wife and kids escalating domestic tensions could have a major impact on your chances for survival.
