Drivers pay

When have I looked to solicited jobs??

Can I get them turned back on?

 

I think he meant the guy looking for drivers has been turned off. Mr kenro. Not yours.

 

Are the trucks fast enough I wouldn't want to make 110k unless the trucks going over 75

 

Just another example of keeping scum backfiring on you. Let me tell you what’s happening my man. They are being paid a percentage and it’s by and large human nature to only work as much as you need to in order to get by. They are feeling like they own the company and work when they need the money. You would actually get more productivity by paying them less. They don’t give two ####s about your success and are selfish pricks. Get different people and change your operation ASAP.

My posts on this stuff are never popular but I don’t care because what I say is the truth!

 

I disagree on the guarantee. I have seen that backfire more than percentage. Paying a good percentage will make a “good , hard working driver “hustle more. Your problem is the same problem all over , it’s very hard to find good hard working drivers. I’m not sure about your area but has the cost of living spiked through the roof because of the oil boom and 110k a year is just average because of the high cost of living and you are only attracting the guys who bounce from job to job because they suck. I seen that happen in Pennsylvania about ten years ago when the natural gas price was high and fracking went crazy and people were jumping in like a gold rush. A friend of mine had 8 trucks and his guys were making $3000 a week @ 30% and the cost of living in the area went sky high . Everyone wanted a piece of that fracking money . A house you could rent for $900 a month , now they wanted $2500-$3000 . Eventually the price of natural gas fell hard and so did the fracking boom in Pennsylvania and a lot of people got out of it . They’re still drilling but only a fraction of what they were and the pay is only a fraction of what it was.
That could be your problem , a tight labor market and very high wages in a boom area .
You’ll eventually find the right drivers. It sucks having to weed through the bad , entitled ones
First , but don’t offer a guarantee , you’ll see they’ll find all kinds of reasons they couldn’t make this load or that one and still want to get paid. I think high percentage , decent equipment, and a friendly work culture ( decent boss) will eventually attract the right people.

 

What he is saying, treat then like the mega"s do. LMFAO
You will sleep fine at night, he does.

 

That’s not true but think what you want. My guys start at 70k/yr guarantee plus paid holidays and paid vacation after just 3 months. Plus they get home every weekend as another guarantee. I could go on but none of that matters to you.
