Nor are his paid by the day drivers going to put up with it. The contractor will have to have dedicated air box trucks waiting there for the air. Due to limited range nowhere near enough stops and boxes per mile or day that dedicated air box truck will not generate anything close to enough revenue to be a stand alone profitable route. Fat Freddy is flat out not going to pay enough to make them profitable. He thinks he can just throw them on a ground truck same as he did with Smart Post and chances are like Smart Post perhaps pay less for an air box than he did for a ground box. For a lot of rural contractors this will be the final nail in the coffin.</blockquote>
