[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3033410, member: 58386"] Believe me I take no pleasure at the news of you guys increasing disillusionment but I still believe that their increasingly hostile treatment of contractors can be attributed to two things. First the class action settlement which should have been much higher still it cost them some pretty good jack and while they should feel lucky to get away with what they did they still hold a grudge that won't go away anytime soon . if you got some money out of it and you're still there rest assured they'll try any trick in the book to get it back from you. Secondly from an economic perspective you were never supposed have anything in thing in the way of equity. In their minds the one and only objective was to acquire low cost transportation. Keep in mind that we did not have proprietary rights until 1993 when Big R had to either give it to us or have the IRS take them to court making them realize it was loosen up or face the consequences. Yet X has always publicly applauded but privately resented having to grant that small piece of power and will continue to disallow it from impacting it's future plans and for that reason no contractor can afford to overlook the fact that their routes may never be worth more than what they are right now.
