Finding drivers, it is the easy part but ...

No cup holder, older car, cup holders really werent a thing till the 90s in non-luxury vehicles, was her grandkids car, very much wasnt new
this was the early 90s, there were no lids that fit securely, they used this garbage

More to the point, explain how the flimsy cup with flimsy lid is supposed to retain its lid while one adds sugar/creamer? No reasonable person does that.

And your pie is 100% liquid and likely to spill all over the place in the normal course of eating it? Also, if they routinely send it out at 200+degrees, theyre not supposed to do that either.

You arent mcdonalds or any large corporation's legal counsel, the fact is that the vast majority of corporation legal teams deny any culpability and never offer to settle for any reason, the proof is in the pudding, as stated above, mcdonalds actually spent millions to smear the lady as incompetent rather than just pay her bills which would have been a fraction of that.

Show me a reasonable large corporation when it comes to them taking responsibility for their actions without being forced to, they simply dont exist. They use their overwhelming size and resources to crush legal battles, and when they dont like laws they try and get them changed in their favor, more often than not successfully. Im willing to be wrong, but occasional exceptions to large corporations acting poorly arent exactly indications that they should be taken at face-value when their pr and legal team say anything

What is a fine against a company if not punitive action, criminal or not?
Weak excuse. People and corporations respond to incentives and disincentives, but if you want to go that route, then at least the legal team and executive board should face criminal prosecution for lawsuits they lose where it's showed they had ample chance to do the right thing.


You prefer ebitda, 47 mill against scnieder was roughly 5 % for the year.

Still a pittance, MAYBE enough to make them think about vetting drivers better

Or in the mcdonalds case. Roughly .27% of ebitda
the jury awarded $2.7 million dollars in punitive damages in the McDonald's hot coffee case. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their inappropriate business practice (see above about criminal vs punitive)

 

To me a good driver gets their load delivered safely, efficiently and on time or early without damaging equipment and is a positive representation of my company when they are working for me. Thinking about guys that have worked for me it’s not to hard to get any 2 traits but more than that is hard.
Not really sure if I can say the amount I’ve paid or offered has had a very strong correlation to having satisfied all my criteria
