[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 3083105, member: 55017"] 1. Going to depend on many factors, gas/diesel, step van/sprinter style, manufacturer etc. I run mostly diesel Freightliner step vans and get 400k miles out them. 2. You buy the current contract, any extension beyond that will be dependent on your results. I'd be surprised if you didn't get enough leeway to get at least a second contract. 3. Turnover is a big issue. When someone quits my managers run the route until we find a new driver. It can snowball fast though, you can have a couple quit or get hurt at the same time. Then it's bad and I end up driving a route or 2 at a time. 4. Depending on staffing, I've gone months without having to leave my house or make an appearance at any terminal. I've gone months out driving until 20:00 while we train new hires. It's typically a good idea to have someone in the process of Fedex approval at all times. If you don't need them at the moment another contractor will. [/QUOTE]
