My best friend, will be my best friend a my wedding in Febuary, came to me this past fall with a prposal. He knew a snowplowing contractor that was getting out he got the route lists, prices adresses ect. Wanted me to solict the work. I ended up getting a substancial amount of work, I knew he wanted to plow for me (he has 3 trucks with plows & drivers). This is where it gets bad, when I asked him how he wanted me to pay him(I assumed I would be paying him as a sub), he said I thought we were going to lump ALL our work together(I have 3 times this amount of work on my own) he has an amount roughly equal to the refered work, and divide it in half. I have 2/3 the total work not including refered work and my name is on 80% of the work. To make matters worse he dosen't have commercial insurance on trucks & is paying his drivers cash(not on his insurance policies). I wish I had never gotten involved in this situation, trying to find a way to tell him I feel like I'm getting #@$% over politly. Don't want to loose his friendship(I don't think he has thought this through from all issues), trying to find good way the approch.Any advise would be appreciated.
