Different strokes for different folks. Some want to make as much money as possible, some won't work nights, some want as much family time as possible. One size does not fit all. Try to learn to get the most out of every employee.

I have to check with the carrier, they are supposed to be on a hiring freeze. I really need 4 more drivers, maybe more if I fire one or 2. I'll try to find out soon
-
I really appreciate the advice. Deep down I pretty much knew that myself but needed to hear it from someone who has been thereMidwest Trucker Thanks this.
-
Yeah, my good, reliable driver says a 15 year old anorexic girl can do the physical part of our job easily. Drag a couple hoses off the trailer and connect them. It's a lot more mental than physical.
-
I'm in the area also, I'll take a job as well. I smell something isn't right here but I figure it won't hurt to inquire.
PM me -
At 40% is this a 1099 spot? Maybe the drivers are all having a come to Jesus moment because they’re figuring out the amount of taxes they will have to pay and they maybe don’t have an extra penny laying around? What kind of shape is your equipment in? If there is an issue are things fixed right away or do they get put off until later? You have an issue other than the money. Some people will put up with a lot because of money and others won’t stay in a crap situation no matter how much money you throw at them.
Roberts450, Crude Truckin' and double yellow Thank this. -
It ain't you at all. It's the drivers themselves. Many people want big money but they only want to work 3 hrs a day to get it. They will be the same ones that complain about low pay for truckers, and here you are, a diamond in the rough, and folks still dont want to do right. It's all about work ethic. I wouldn't beat myself up about it. You gotta business to run and if they dont want to work, move on from them. There are guys and gals that would love an opp5like that.
-
You're right. You live your life around your job for good money. Folks have to realize you gotta give up something for big money
-
