[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5202517, member: 58386"] Remember what I said about staying too long? The fact that you the contractor were asked to invest your money in order to exclusively serve their interests never meant a damn thing to that company. And who ever heard of such a thing to begin with? When contractor turnover settled down into a manageable norm and they were at a scale whereby they could best serve the parent company.....big but not too big that they actually had some power.....margin compression was the inevitable next step. What is currently taking place is not margin compression but rather margin destruction. Remember what I told you guys a couple of years back? Don't hang around to the very last minute for the sole purpose of getting every cent you can get out of it. If an offer were to come along while it won't be that very top dollar you seek but rather an offer you can live with....take it. And now in this margin destruction environment where nobody knows how long it's going to last , buyers willing to go over market to buy routes for premium prices will obviously be fewer on number. It is now a "take it off your hands" market. [/QUOTE]
