Seems like a few years ago they stopped signing independents but grandfathered in any that already were signed up. Has anyone heard of these two signing new independents? I know they wont sign small ones, but how about 5 year in business doing 50+ per month?

Not to my knowledge, but I believe it is regional. Some parts of the country they may be, while others not.

I seem to recall a number like 25 contracts per month minimum to keep them happy, but honestly it changes so fast that whatever things used to be are likely not relative.
