Question to current contractors: do these numbers look right?

[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 4320101, member: 55017"] The freightliners are getting old. They’ll run forever but maintenance will get high depending on the mileage they run. Is he transitioning the fleet to smaller vans? Try to find out the timetable for any large package facilities being built in your area. That may have a big impact on the fleet mixture you’ll want. Variable vs fixed is how the contract charges are paid. They’ll give you a fixed amount every week and the rest is variable by stops and pieces. 75/25 is the lowest variable I accept. Growth is very high around here so I push for the most variable I can to help keep up. Try to get his last few years of stop growth and FedEx engineering should be able to get their projected growth rate for the next year. [/QUOTE]
