[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 3097727, member: 66633"] You and I must be along the same lines with how we operate. Currently facing the same exact scenario in my hub right now and I think the contractor is on the verge of losing some of his routes, if not his whole agreement and keeping quiet. Every single day he is calling for help, but made the unintelligent decision of burning all his bridges with everyone. Most won't help him now and the other's don't want to get involved. I've tried to step up to the plate and volunteer to bail him out out of sympathy, but with the way he's gotten himself stuck in the mud, he's too far gone beyond repair. Not to mention, he's tried to bring me down with him. I'm all for operating in good faith like you NYCFXG, paying an honest buck for a route or area, and taking care of my guys with holidays, vacations, sick, bonus, etc. but certain people in this business like the contractor I just mentioned make it even questionable if you can acquire even some of their assets (trucks, drivers, etc.). I don't see how this guy is going to survive peak season because he is barely making it day by day right now and completely getting overhauled by his drivers dictating the terms. Not to mention he has had multiple complaints, accidents, integrity issues, and service failures, including one today. Hell CPC is calling me to bail him out, but I told them no thank you. As far as peak goes, I typically add 2 routes myself and drive 1. I have my on call guy who steps in so it's a very strong 8 that we run. Only have to keep the trucks up to par, which is typically every ISP's fear year round, especially during peak. [/QUOTE]
