That's right. Contractors know that all they have to offer someone is transitional employment. The job between jobs. Something to tide you over until a real job comes along. That is why today contractors have 5 guys on every truck. One coming, one driving, one leaving, one in jail for getting drunk and beating up his old lady and one starting his third month waiting for his FXG approval to go on the truck.
175 contracts/routes sounds a little misleading. I would want to know how many route sales are due to contractors getting out because of ISP transition and/or total numbers or contracts and routes. Is 175 out of 1000 a lot? Yep. Out of 3500? 5000? I'm not really sure what the numbers are.
You don't have to take part.

Hey fellas. Could anyone tell me what I should expect the starting pay to be for a FT Courier in Arkansas? I have an interview Monday and I just want to be a little prepared I guess. The job title itself is actually ''FULL TIME COURIER/DOT''
I lurked on the forums last night and actually found the new 2018 ops pay scale (terminology?) but I have no idea how to decipher the 3 different colors and what the pay codes mean, ie: 71, 8k and 9m. And more importantly, what states comprise each market.
Thank you for your time.

The job title is actually "Courier/Tractor-Trailer Driver"
I wonder if this means it's a CDL req. job?
All it says is...
"High School Diploma/G.E.D. Must Be Licensed For Type Of Vehicle Assigned. Ability To Lift 75 Lbs. Ability To Maneuver Packages Of Any Weight Above 75 Lbs With Appropriate Equipment And/Or Assistance From Another Person."

It will be fine

You didn't ask what they were paying before applying?
Keep this in mind. The RPS model Sullivan created was designed in the way that allowed Roadway to divest itself of as much risk liability and variables cost as possible while at the same time making it quite clear that the model was not designed to create equity for contractors but rather to acquire trucking and labor at the lowest possible cost.
You've been around long enough I'm sure to plainly see that as a contractor that you are simply a small part of a very large but unstable feeder network of cheap labor and cheap trucking. Ground is like an incinerator that burns through huge quantities of the two fuels you provide. As a result sending X freight that is much more time and precision sensitive over to you will require you to provide more fuel that is much more specification sensitive and therefore makes you far more vulnerable to contract non renewal and will not likely make you any wealthier. Nope. Taking on Express freight is a headache you don't need.

It was through indeed.com and surprisingly enough (not really nowadays...) it doesn't say.

Go to your nearest fast food or convenience store and ask what they're paying. This job will pay in that neighborhood.

lol yeah that's what I'm surmising from reading these forums.
I am genuinely just more curious now, more than anything. Kind of weird that it's so hard to find out the answers...almost as if they don't want you to know...but really though, if this is a CDL required job, I'm not qualified and don't want to even waste the 45min, etc.

Call me Captain Obvious, but right there on line 7 is the compensation offer.
Sounds like a volunteer position. Great way to get your foot in the door!

Lets not laugh too hard. There are plans for big change. We don't know but if we're attentive to clues, we may come close to solving the question. We do know, there are big plans to make ground more automated, making many employees redundant....

He is if your basic instincts respond to theatrics. Give me a more intellectual discussion, more facts, less conjecture, less histrionics.
