This goes to prove my theory that, if you set up a good machine properly and with enough thought into the possible problems, then it can operate for years without any major overhaul. Sadly, I note that the company is only sub-contracting 60 coaches per day. This, I feel, is where my efforts have broken down, as records can prove I was sub-contracting 100 coaches per day for some periods, plus my own fleet of 20.
No "sour grapesare expressed in this letter; I am, and always will be, very proud of a company that I built with the help of some very experienced and loyal staff. JOE CHURCHMAN,
