Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Popped up on my feed.

Splitting a load multiple times sounds awful.

at least creefer haven't started doing stuff like that.

 

Hourly drivers…doing 45 in a 65 with one foot on the dash.

 

Not Dayton Freight. They get hourly but fly through construction zones as if they aren't there.

 

That's what HR is meant to do.

If any driver had enough, wait don't go, how about a little more pain but with a different division!?

 

At least some in the industry are considering driver pay and treatment. The following is from Steve Rush, owner of tank carrier Carbon Express at the annual National Tank Truck Association annual meeting a couple of days ago:

“We’ve got to get our head out of the sand,” he said. “We really, truly do. I get so sick and tired of reading articles about, ‘it’s not pay.’ What the [heck] does anybody go to work for? To get paid. That’s all they want. Truck drivers are not any different from lawyers, doctors, or any other professional people. You’re going to find time stealers in every walk of life. Why does it always have to be the driver who’s stealing your time? Why is he the one who has to be motivated?

“If you ever drove a truck for a living, you’d find out that is the motivation. They predominantly love to drive a truck. That’s why I drove one for so long. I loved it. And then this industry went to hell in a handbasket, with all kinds of smoke-and-mirror ways to pay them, because they’re ‘not motivated.’ They just drive a truck for a living. “[Now] look what we’ve done to ourselves. Look what we’ve done to them.”

 

If I saw correctly he is with creaffer. Not sure which side he is with but with his number 10 reason he will have fun over there

It’s such short sighted stupidity. Companies who screw over drivers in pay find that, in resentment, drivers will start doing things like stealing diesel or selling load locks bought with company money.

Not justifying the theft, only recognizing the law of reciprocity. If you screw people over they will screw you back.
