[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 2915708, member: 22662"] bacha, you are on the sidelines of an industry that you once worked in. Your "day one" status is so far removed from today and yet you continue to think it give you some kind of Vision into Memphis and Pittsburgh. It doesn't. The financials you read, the statements made by Smith, what do you really think it all means. People will either contract or not based on their own experiences and ideas. And what if you're right? What about all the "downward pressure on contractor profit"? So what? Are you saying this multi-national billion dollar company isn't concerned with me making millions and will see that as profit they should keep? Well, duh. Show me a corporation that doesn't look to screw the workers. But guess what? Trump won. Your fellow Americans don't give a crap about X unless they get or don't get the widgets they ordered. Trump screwed contractors as a regular practice. Guess what? Nobody cared. What it comes down to is this is what Americans seem to want or are at least ok with. I worked almost 3 hours today and made very good money. Do I care about the long term employment of my drivers? I guess. Don't really see them retiring from this job but hey, that's what we are; a cog in the machine. You got out. Good for you, I guess. Me? I'll ride it out til I can't anymore...just like everyone else.
