Problem finding drivers

FL Frenchie...

Flexibility - in all aspects; pay, home time, lanes....etc etc etc.

Maybe the option of not having to use spyware in your truck.

I love the good old pen and paper.

 

All company trucks will be governed at 62 MPH with a "Driver Reward " incentive of 2 MPH extra.

I just read that on some other O/O page and spit my coffee up.

Thats the type of crap you dont have to deal with driving for a small fleet operator. I'm sure there are advantages to the MEGA carriers for some, I'm not sure what they would be however; maybe a better benefits package.

Personally, trucking is about freedom, that is what got me interested in this business in the first place(and driving farm tractors since I could walk). For me, with my own authority, I do what I want, how I want, when I want. Its more work, and in some cases less money than a company driver but its the freedom that makes it worth it to me.

 

I used to work for a smaller, well established, family owned company that was self insured (bonded).

They could do whatever they wanted to.

 

Jopper. I posted something on that thread about fuel savings Vs more profit for running faster.

Put in your ad that your trucks will go as fast as the driver wants to go. If he has a clean driving record then you know he isnt a leadfoot. You make more money because your truck is delivering more freight, he earns more because he gets more miles...

 

If you ran Florida this sounds pretty good, unfortunately the sunshine state is between Hell and high water for most outfits.

 

Ain't that the truth..

 

Small companies are the only ones that i would drive for.

 

Seems the good companies have a waiting list.

And other companies can't fill seats.






















let me think about this..............

 

many of the companies rquiring 2 years also say 1 year with school
