Climate Express

That's how I ended up back here lol. She called at the perfect time!

 

That’s funny I got a call from her yesterday also. We spoke on the phone for about 15 minutes

 

It's just something he's a working on. Waiting for all the bugs to get worked out with the shippers, receivers, and the routes. There may end up being enough work for me to jump off the deep end into it.

 

My question hypothetically speaking anyways is to any recruiter or retention department at any company and that is this. Do you as a recruiter or a company that's hiring drivers ever sit back, scratch your head an say to yourselves, hmmm I wonder what it is that we're not doing as a company in order to retain good drivers and why are we having to work so hard to find and keep good drivers and keeping the majority of the trucks that we're paying for full!!! If I owned a company with a lot of overhead, I know that's what I would be asking myself.

 

Is Climate all company drivers?

 

We have guys who whine and complain at fedex freight despite making over 6 figures and being home every night. For some people, being a baby is just hard coded into their dna.

 

Yea you do have a good point. A lot of drivers I know are never happy no matter what ya try to do for them. An then ya have those that holler to the moon for more miles, but then when they get em, all of a sudden loads start being late an they can't handle the performance needed to run the extra. Believe me the gig I went to is actually a lot more physical work than the work I had at Climate, yet I still run the tall miles right along with it when they're given. Of course with being paid by the load the amount of miles total isn't as important as how much the load is paying per the mile is. Cuz the loaded mile has to make up or attempt to cover the dead head ya racked up to get to the load. All that said, ya know how I detest being late and or not accomplishing what I said I'd do, so I still give it 100 % into making it happen everyday.
