Jeesh...I didn't even ask for a radio (it had been ripped out) the first 3 or 4 months I ran for someone last. I need nothing other than a good truck and I showed them that. Then they decked it out!

Wow, nice touch there JBA. That kind of thing is unheard of.
In addition to everything you're already doing , I would simply suggest that you go over his truck and make sure EVERYTHING is working well, especially on the interior of the truck. If you can get the truck detailed inside and out, it would be a nice touch too.
If you pay well and give your drivers good miles, I'd say you will have a very low turnover rate. Well done.Wargames and JBA Transp Thank this. -
Wow now that has welcome wagon beat! May sell my 01 pete and try to land a job with you or someone like you. Finish out my career .Wargames and JBA Transp Thank this.

All I would require is a new mattress in a clean truck. First load, let me slide by the house to grab the gear I want and I will handle everything else.
Now, let’s go make money.DozerCowboy, Paddlewagon, Wargames and 1 other person Thank this. -
Well that's breath of fresh air.JBA Transp Thanks this.

HAHAHA, you make me laugh...
I know how hard your job is, I know is not easy to deal with rude people in a daily basis, dealing with a WILD world on the road ... I just want to make sure my driver is at least comfortable in the truck which is going to be like a new "little house" for a couple of weeks , yes, of course money is important , I will pay him on time, fair , weekly bonuses etc etc etc , However, RESPECT and RECOGNITION is very important to me.
I will make sure he is treated as the CEO of the truck , I am nobody without him, I do not even know how to turn the lights... I am just the owner of an engine that is NOTHING without a driver

I want to thank everybody for the suggestions, today I did give the welcome package to my driver, he was very surprised, he even asked me if it was a JOKE ... I was like ....
nooo... This is not a joke... It seems this industry needs to treat drivers way better... He has more than 25 years driving experience and he said he never saw something like this ...
Without drivers ... there is no trucking industry , there is no dispatch, no brokers, no truck stops... (By the way, very rude people attending a couple that I visited )
Thank you all !driverdriver, SteveScott, Dumdriver and 3 others Thank this. -
