Any company that does business with other business and individuals alike will always make the bulk of their money from their business accounts. The customer accounts are just icing on the cake.
I used to work for an internet service provider who receives a quarter of a million dollars a month from a grocery chain popular here in the South. I serviced small business owners with their technical needs and commented to someone higher up than me that it seems like they don't really care about their smaller accounts. His response was they don't. All they cared about was how many calls I could handle in a single day (cost per call). They didn't give half a care in the world how I handled it.
They have actuaries that sit around and calculate how much slack they can get away with and still maintain the bulk if their client base, then they allocate just enough resources and energy to just barely meet that bottom baseline. Was something I touched on in some of my math classes back when school was a thing for me.
why the ** do LTL drivers get paid a lot more than everybody else.. Please explain!

The real question is why they've had to drop
Thier hiring standards for new drivers?
If they make a hundred grand a year, and are
Home every night, and off 2 days a week.
Why in the world are they always hiring and
Taking on drivers with little to no experience now.
Somebody's lying about something.
They should have a two year waiting list for a
Trucking job like this. -
Also, maybe just a false rumour, supposedly Old Dominion has determined that new CDL drivers they put through their own driver training course, end up with better safe driving record than the experienced drivers they hire.
I do agree it takes a while to learn how not to break a new toy.Western flyer Thanks this. -

cant help seeing these new clowns driving trucks, with there knee laying against the driver window.

When a younger group of drivers is established I bet the line haul companies won’t need to hire as much as they have been. 8 retirements this year at my terminal and 30 new runs opened up. Even small terminals have retirements and those with medical issues mostly age related. -
