[QUOTE="STFXG, post: 1450175, member: 41750"] Yeah. Independent Contractor. My advice is to not pay too much since you are buying in. Everyone selling is waiting for a sucker... don't be it. Number of stops varies by the route and the driver. A heavy industrial area won't be able to do as many stops as a downtown guy. So that's hard to say. The more you work your drivers the more you will burn them out and have them quitting. Unless you pay them well enough. 1 backup vehicle is plenty as long as the trucks aren't bulked out daily. You can always pick up a rental truck if you need more than 1. When you get up to more routes you will probably have to replace at least 1 truck in your fleet anyways. Just keep one of the older ones as another spare. Other than that I can't help you out with any of the ISP stuff. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
