[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4319926, member: 58386"] What i can tell you is this. Under the FLSA operators of trucks under 10K GVW are to be paid overtime after 40 hours of work. Watch out for that. Another issue is hours . I seriously doubt that 5-10 50 hour number. Many contractor employed drivers are working 5-12's and 10 on Saturday just to try to survive especially if the are paying for their own health insurance and many are doing so at the direct order of their employer due primarily to the fact that every FXG terminal nationwide is running 6 days a week a number of them are doing 7 and 7 will be nationwide sometime in 2021. You see you're assuming too much Worst of those assumptions is that everyday there will always be somebody walking through that door physically able and psychologically willing to go out there and generate top of the scale performance for bottom of the scale money and do it on a continuous daily basis for an extended period of time. Your appreciation won't pay for their kids braces or his wife's hysterectomy. Another factor to consider. You employees will be under Taft Hartley/NLRA which means that they can vote to go union on a local by local basis. And don't just assume that it cannot happen. if it were to happen then XG will cancel your contract out right. Another factor to consider . Everyday in this country an average of 10,000 boomers go marching off to retirement . That's 10,000 a day everyday for at least the next decade which in turn opens up a lot of jobs that will be better than what you have to offer. So go ahead. Put your house your retirement every cent of money you've got as collateral to buy a contract. But, as many contractors come to experience....you'll run out of manpower long before you run out of boxes......and that's when the feces will hit the fan. [/QUOTE]
