I find that only 2nd rate drivers think like this.
I have tried clarifying this issue ad nauseam. I can guarantee you that 99.9995% of the drivers on this thread haven't been thrown under the bus...
Depends on the size of the company. My company is straight to the owner.
Heath is not our owner, but I know some of the Heath's, and we do a lot of Heath trucking's old loads.
Customer/contract. No sales staff. Just the owner. By all means. It cuts out the middle man. Actually, my lips are quite still while I type...

Correct. We do both, and there is no "off-time" for us. We might only be in the office during specific hours, but we are 24/7 when it comes to...
We don't treat them any differently, to be honest. We obviously watch the new drivers more closely, but we don't micromanage you. If we see you...
