Good companies

Great attitude....

I know if I owned a company and had manual trucks I wouldn't hire anyone who admittedly couldn't shift...

 

Yeah. Not knowing how to use an 18 speed is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from not knowing how to downshift at all. If you don't know how to shift at all, then your employer is taking a chance you might damage the transmission.

I won't tell you whether you have to believe this or not, ..... but I heard a rumor somewhere that transmissions cost money. Also, I heard another rumor that there are some greedy employers out there have a serious aversion to losing money unnecessarily. I don't know why they're so greedy that they would get mad over a silly thing like needing to replace a transmission, but they are.

No flatbed experience? We will train you during orientation!

 

All I hear is nightmares about getting home and the person trying to recruit me keeps messing up. What gives??

 

you said you want info and is what they sent me

 

Noticed the layover pay. Yikes! If I sit on my hands 3 days I get a whopping 75 bones? That better be really REALLY rare.

 

Well that is the reason why the Swift's, Werner's, CRST's are raking in millions and the o/o or small fleet owner is making peanuts. The Swifts are paying $400 and tearing up transmissions whereas the small owner is paying top wages for drivers to take care of their trucks.

Let's say an o/o is paying $1000 a week to his driver. Let's say a tore up transmission costs $10k. At $600 a week difference, you could replace your transmission every 16 weeks with your savings. Realistically a bad driver isn't going to wear down a transmission that fast, so it would be in the best interest to hire the cheap labor if your goal is to make money.

Personally what I would do if I was an o/o or small fleet owner is hire CDL graduates and retrain them. Invest my time in them, they are eager to learn and want to get valuable experience and they will work for cheap. They also have no bad habbits yet, so you can train them how you want. I'd treat them fair and better than the Swifts of the world, I'd pay slightly better than garbage wages but I'd give them regular increases as they are more experienced because you need to pay fair as they get more experienced otherwise they will go to greener pastures. But it would still be below market value, and that is where you make your money. You created an employ that values you for taking the time to invest in them and pay them slightly more than the dirt bags do, so that they feel special.

I'd train them from day one to think like an o/o. I'd tell them that it was a safety concern but for the first year, I don't want them driving over 65 mph. Really, I'm training them to be mileage conscious, which will help them if they ever buy their own truck, but I'd sell it from a safety stand point. But if you combine that, with the special one on one attention you gave them to train them, and the extra pay over the mill carriers, all of a sudden, you have a loyal employee that thinks you've given them a lot compared to what is out there.

When really, all you've done is taken advantage of cheap labor. It is a win win situation really. Once you trained that driver to be that good, you don't want to lose him, so I'd offer to help him buy a truck for a percentage of his truck. So in essence, you continue to make money off him.

But I'm just a noob who doesn't know anything but I've made .50 a mile when I first started out of CDL school as an expediter and now with less than a year's experience, I make $50kish a year doing local work where I get to be home every night with my family. As a company driver, my paychecks are now in the $1400 a week range and I'm home most days by 5 pm eating supper at 6 with my family.

 

OK. Thanks for the info!
