[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3085406, member: 58386"] Again, it comes right back to the cheap labor issue. That's the only reason WHY you will exist as a contractor in the first place. Remember, cheap labor and DEPENDABLE cheap labor are not the same thing. The same holds true for cheap labor and PRODUCTIVE cheap labor. Comes back to the same old story....You get what you pay for. Likewise as what stated earlier growth varies widely. The terminal I helped start up went from 3 routes total to the current 16. Only one problem. It took 22 years to get there and that only came about as a result of the introduction of Fedex Home Delivery. And that brings about another issue. OVERLAP. In numerous areas you have a Ground contractor and an HD contractor both operating in the same geographical area. Some time in the future ( 2021) there will only be one resulting in some contractors getting hosed big time. You're comments clearly indicate that capital preservation is clearly paramount. If so then this is not the place to be. [/QUOTE]
