[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 4720687, member: 58838"] Don’t see how anyone tries to say this isn’t a business to own. I can understand some of the arguments about it not being as independent as most would like. I owned many trucks paid many of my own employees, provided a service for my client (even if they were :censored:s at times), fired my employees, paid my employer taxes, got tired of dealing with FedEx and sold for a substantial profit. Sure sounds like a business on all levels. Was there many times I think FX was too involved, was there many times they threatened to cancel contracts too every contractor in my hub...........absolutely!! But that doesn’t change the fact that you own a business. Number of clients or clients oversight doesn’t justify business ownership. Luckily only one more week and I am done with P&D for good. The whole industry just keeps getting worse even though it should be at all time highs. UPS abuse and change to 22.4s, Express unwillingness to progress couriers and seems to be setting a course to full part time employment, Ground being a one man freight and furniture delivery company while making pennies on the dollar for those packages. All garbage at this point. [/QUOTE]
