[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 5280654, member: 55017"] The issue that I see currently is contractors have to have a fairly large scale to support all the additional admin work they’ve been piling on us the last few years. The only way to get that scale is operating in multiple terminals. So they get huge contractors that have 20ish trucks in every terminal around a city. When those guys struggle or fail it causes a big problem. The smaller contractors and contingency teams can only cover so much. The big guys also have less of an issue walking away from contracts that aren’t profitable. Top brass doesn’t actually know what they want or how to get there. There’s too much overhead for small contractors and too much risk with big ones. There is no plan. [/QUOTE]
