[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3897053, member: 58386"] Your comments bring back memories of many similar experiences.If your in an area whose demographics are not an exact fit with the business model it's an impossible situation. I also find it very amusing the claims by some of autonomy and independence. You can try if you wish but you won't be there long. In matters where the terms of the contract doesn't completely favor or serve the interests of the company they reinterpret the language and if they can't they simply ignore it. This helps to explain why they want absentee contractors who offer no resistance and haven't a clue as to what it's like to go out there and run a route day after day. in their place they have BC's AO's and OM's , people who are nothing more than serfs and whipping boys. As long as there are plenty of unsuspecting drivers willing to work for bare sustenance compensation and investor class participants the operation will limp along for awhile longer. However after twisting, manipulating and taping addendum's on top of addendum's there may not be a whole lot more they can do to take what is a poor setup to begin with and make it adaptable to changing market conditions. And yes I too had a bible thumper for a TM. I put him in his place early on by means of a simple remark he couldn't respond to: " There are two types of people. People of faith and people of religion. People of faith can think for themselves. People of religion want somebody to do that for them". [/QUOTE]
