My, my, Indy. Sounds like Ground wasn't for you. Let's see...I've delivered out of a minivan, pickup truck, learned every route in the building. Acquired almost all my routes through growth, run supplementals, designed the basis for what became the company's time off program. Sold a route for $100K, bought a route for $40k. Currently run about 100 stops per day sub-contracted to me by other ISP's. Am on the safety committee, have recently implemented a kick-ass safety plan, renegotiated once and have to drive very, very seldom. I think my experience has been more positive than yours.
