[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4757748, member: 58386"] Man you just absolutely nailed it. I too strive to make it clear to interested parties that the most shocking revelations they would soon discover is that you can expect to be cuffed around and slapped around in a manner identical to an ordinary easily replaced employee with total disregard for the fact that you were asked to put your own money into the effort. The have zero respect for the fact that you have money in it. That along with the fact that as a multi route operator everything will rest on your ability to find somebody willing to work their damn fool heads off for embarrassing bottom feeder wages and nothing else. And once word of that work place reality spreads and no word spreads faster than word of mouth and no place does word of mouth itself spread faster than a small town the harder it becomes to find replacements And if you cannot find that person and there's no guarantee you will then it's lights out for you. And what % of your total are not profitable.? Every one of your thoughts and opinions are based on a favorable volume, a favorable SPH a favorable operating environment where you're not replacing worn out trucks in 3 years and most favorable of all where all you're doing is the easy in town stuff. Why do you think Bezos is still dumping his boonie boxes off onto the USPS the carrier of the last resort? Why did Fat Freddy quit hauling it altogether? There's no damn money in it that's why. So if you want to sit there on your fat ass all day, fine by me. And if you have time to spend making other groups of people believe that what you have is a self created independently self directed enterprise that's fine if you can find somebody dumb enough to believe you..... But, this is one place where you won't find them. [/QUOTE]
