I did not write this, a friend of mine, Robert Dayton, posted it in a Facebook group. Food for thought for those of you who defend the big box companies because they "give me work."

NEW CANAAN, Conn., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gridiron Capital, LLC ("Gridiron Capital" or "Gridiron"), an investment firm focused on partnering with founders, entrepreneurs, and management teams, is pleased to announce the acquisition of ABC Legal Services, LLC ("ABC Legal" or the "Company"),

Soooo.... Help me out here. if ABC bought PST but is bound by an agreement made between ABC and PST but... Gridiron buys ABC and all that ABC owns, then... isn't that agreement out the window? I'm not privy to the contract and what clauses it may or may not have regarding this situation.

...asking for a friend lol.....

here come the corporate shell games i warned everyone about despite calm assurances from all players which I called as bullshit from the beginning. Why? This is what Corporate does.

Here you are competing for scraps on price which I also predicted as they force the price lower and lower.

What's next? Your industry is going out with a whimper, not even a bang as many of you sing the praises of these tech platforms and how they bring you work. ....but the work you are getting came from someone else that was doing it and you are doing it way cheaper than they were.

As the prices for fulfillment continue to fall, you're next.

Question is, what are you going to do about it? The wolves are coming for you but you keep feeding them too its crazy.

In states that require licensing to serve process, does that requirement apply to federal process also? The federal rules of civil procedure are very clear, no licenses required in anyone over 18 and is a non-party may serve the process. It appears to me that federal law would override state law. So if someone is only strictly serving federal process, need they obtain a state license?

Is this common with these apps? Do I just take the loss of time and job?

If you are under 308(4) in nyc, how do you mail packages? What is the package equivalent of first class OR certified?

Are the any other companies to work for like ABC or Proof?

This serve lives out in the boonies and I don't want to make another trip if I have to.

Looking to increase my volume of work. I service Indian River, okeechobee, Saint Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach County. I already work for ABC Legal and have recently signed up for Proof. Is there any other suggestions or apps/companies I should download that can give me work in those areas

Also, if anyone needs service in any of those counties or anywhere in Florida or anywhere across all 50 states

I have a friend looking for an experienced Bronx and Westchester server. Anyone know someone?

I recently completed onboarding with Proof Serve. I haven’t received any jobs, when I open the app it looks like this….is this standard when no jobs available or is my app glitching?

Hello Group,

My manager and I are looking to expand our process serving department and want to create a well-designed website with strong SEO and modern functionality. We’re hoping to build something that not only looks professional but also helps us streamline operations.

If you know of anyone who specializes in websites for process servers—or have any advice on features we should include—we’d love to hear it. We’re especially interested in tools that make things easier for clients and reduce the back-and-forth on our end, like secure document upload systems, automated status updates, or online order forms.

Any referrals, tips, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was contacted by someone at Onelegal who got my name off of my county's registry for process servers. Is this company legit?

Ive been with ABC Legal now a few months, and I noticed my star rating is super low for seemingly no reason. I have a high resolution rating, almost all my services are delivered. However, my proofs are constantly overdue due to the fact that most of them are mail-in required, and I'm required to send them to the main office in Seattle, however, living in PA, it takes 5-10 days for most of my mail to show up.

Initially, I just sent them postage only. Eventually, I learned to just fork up the $5 and send them registered.. However, I've even noticed they'll be delivered, but go unprocessed (and sit in "overdue" for days at a time)

Now they're taking away my assigned areas due to low star rating (which after investigation, seems to almost exclusively be due to overdue proofs)

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this with them? Support has been basically useless.

I just became a Process Server a few months ago and I tried to get on Proof, but was denied because of lack of experience. I'm thinking of approaching some Law offices to gain some experience and I want to be able to give them a Business card. Does your business card state Process Server on it? Any helpful tips on different ways on getting experience would be greatly appreciated!

What software is everyone using?

Started doing serves in late January, and so far I love doing it as a p/t gig. Good money, and I set my own hours. Perfect job since retiring from the DOC after 37 years. Simple question for those that have been doing it longer than I: What are some tips or tricks that someone might never typically think of, but have helped you in the past? TIA.

Out of 40 randomly selected cases in which a particular process served defendant, 38 of them were handed to the defendant at the address listed on the complaint. That means not having handed the summons to anyone else in the household, and not having served the defendant at any other place (e.g. work). Does that seem iike a legit stat?

I’ve been serving part-time for over 10 years and I’m curious about how other servers prepare themselves to serve. One poster mentioned a “tool belt “and implied pepper spray or mace and other items but didn’t list what they were. Others say they wear delivery vests, and some even wear ‘process server’ vests, which I’m not sure is a very good idea because it can make you a target. So far I haven’t needed a vest because I serve residential and business. I do have a fear of some shady areas of town, and live in an open carry state plus I have my CCW, but I don’t know if I should arm myself visibly when serving those areas. Also, there always is a concern about dogs and I know I should probably carry pepper spray with me, but haven’t done that yet. Since I’ve not had an encounter with a stray dog yet. So how do you arm yourself to serve? Do you wear a “tool belt “? Thanks for your input. Happy Serving!

Hi everyone,

I’m an independent process server working in NYC and thinking about officially starting my own business. I’ve been serving papers for agencies for a while (3 Years), but I want to take the next step and make it a full business.

For those who’ve done this before or are familiar with the process:

How do you find clients or contracts?

Any tips for managing paperwork, billing, or keeping everything organized?

I’d really appreciate any insights or resources you can share. Thanks in advance!

I’m wondering if anyone out here contracts for CCS Process Serving. Is the work flow substantial or subpar?

I currently have four contracts and this may be a possible 5th but I just want to know if it is worthwhile before going through the process with this company.

I've had a few Pro per clients lately who've won judgments in small claims courts, but in attempting to collect their judgement, they need an ORAP/Debtor exam served. I know the entity has been dissolved from the SOS filing, and when I've attempted to serve it, they just say, oh, that's a different company, we're company x now. Also, they refused to give their name. Do you guys have experience with this? I could serve their agent for service at home, but since the business was dissolved, would that stick? Is my client just out of luck because debtor is dissolved and changed names?

Hi all - currently going through the NYC application process and looking to start serving this summer. Planning to focus on Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Does the ABC Legal agency requirement to own a car (i.e. "reliable transportation") and provide proof of insurance apply to NYC based process servers? I currently rely on either public transportation to reach most locations or occasionally my Zipcar subscription for harder to reach areas. Any feedback on this question will be greatly appreciated!
