[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 3896775, member: 69587"] Yes. And it's exactly that kind of crap that I cannot abide. XG will cheerfully devote legions of overpaid nit-pickers (Deloitte, for example) leaving no stone unturned in order to dig up, invent, create and exacerbate problems for their contractors. And then not hire enough preloaders during peak. Or have a viable backup plan when the belt breaks. Or any number of chronic problems that delay dispatch. XG ignores their own problems. Which causes problems for the contractor. And in the end, it's still, somehow, ALL the contractor's fault. And when dispatch is at 10:30 or later, have the nerve to tell their contractors to get more vans and hire/train more drivers. At the drop of a hat. As supplementals, of course. And all the while, the ever-present, idle threats. None of these things are reassuring when it's 'just a job' to lose. But absolutely insulting and intolerable when you have EVERYTHING you've ever worked for to lose. The only thing a contractor can do is be ever vigilant and have backup plans for backup plans. No matter how remote or unlikely the events. [/QUOTE]
