    It's all a numbers game. With turnover in the 90% range you can't blame the company for their massive recruiting efforts to keeps the seats occupied. Don't hate on interstate because you can't keep up with basic technology

    My kids tease me with this same idea now and then. I usually respond by saying when that time comes, I'll be sure to have a diaper full waiting for them.

    I'm really shocked the recruiter didn't seem impressed that this guy hauled an old car to California one time.

    They (and most other carriers) probably pay more for recruiting than they do actual driver wages. It's a subject for another thread, and one that most of us experienced drivers know all to well, but...

    if they paid us fairly, and for all hours actually worked, they'd probably not have a 90% turnover rate and wouldn't need a massive recruiting department.

    Major pain in a rear they don't need.

    Most of those emails are “do not reply” addresses anyway. It is doubtful the response via email was ever received to be read by anyone

    This is an old thread but just for the record, Interstate Dist doesn't exist anymore. It was absorbed into Heartland express in 2017.

    They were a good company to drive for until Heartless express bought them.
