[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3558378, member: 58386"] Good point demac. It doesn't matter if you have 1 route or a 100 routes it still comes down to nothing more than servitude. This is when you start. This is when you stop. This is what you drive This is what you wear. This is where you go. This is how you do it. etc. etc. There is simply no way to sugarcoat cover up or deny it. In fact the more routes you have the more enslaved and dependent you are on that company. The only tangible assets you have are the trucks, the fastest depreciating pieces of equipment known to the US economy. Your only intangible asset is the routes themselves whose value has to be 100% supported by the company, value that only exists for a long as the company will support it. There is simply no other supporting interest in existence. It's all or nothing. You as a contractor are 100% dependent on the good graces of that company. Unless you are completely willing to be totally subjugated to the absolute will and power of that company you have absolutely nothing. Therefore given that the economic windfall contractors are counting on is 100% exposed to numerous factors the contractor has no control over the key is to recognize those risks ahead of time and be able to get out under favorable terms ahead of those increasing risk factors.
