[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4320205, member: 58386"] Right there. Your attitude. That alone is what will be your undoing. You'll expect people to be willing to go out there everyday in all kinds of weather with a completely unjust and impossible size load of crates to lug and number of stops to make, in the presence of a increasingly hostile workplace environment , an increasingly agitated public, be willing to be subjected to strict discipline and abuse coming from both you and X and yes they will be subjected to the same discipline X subjects their own employees to .......and do all this for less than half the wages of their counterparts at the other major carriers and zero benefits. People catch on very quickly to a situation whereby the disparity between the value that their Simon Legree employer demands and the value he's offering in return is simply too big. In addition you will not be doing anything X can't do themselves except for the only two reasons for which you will exist. To provide X with trucks and drivers at wages image conscious X is too embarrassed to pay their own people and to serve as a firewall against the establishment of a union represented work force. If you are still convinced that you will prosper in the midst of these circumstances... be my guest. If you still believe that all you have to do is to get a bunch of these routes then just sit back in your air conditioned office and count up the money......here's to you.....But, just to be on the safe side, keep a set of uniforms for yourself. Why? Because finding yourself walking into the terminal and seeing one and sometimes more than one of your trucks stuffed floor to ceiling, end to end still sitting there at 11 AM is something that will happen far more times than you imagined.... and no one to drive it....but you.
