    Put him on a bus. If he's too good for that find a non-problem child to drive the truck.

    Leave the decision up to him how to travel... But a percentage of the travel expense is coming out of his check.

    Maybe he's on the "no-fly" list.

    Half of that is probably from insurance. You might be able to opt out and fall back on your insurance.

    I remember doing that with Enterprise. The insurance per day was almost what the car rental was.

    They tried to sell it because it made it "easy and fast" if there was an issue. And that personal insurance was slow... Better for them I suppose.

    ^^^^^. Ding ding ding! Winner

    Are paying for him to go back home when he doesn’t work out?

    This all may sound harsh but come on get real. Why would you even contemplate such a thing?
     
    JoeyJunk Thanks this.
