    I don’t think I’d want to meet the kind of driver that thinks this is some sort of acceptable practice.

    They either have the right mindset or they don't .

    We also paid percentage, plus detention, plus breakdown, plus... I had one driver make over $15,000 in one month and he still complained. But, he was a chronic complainer and never happy. Of course he contacted me several times after we let him go to see if he could come back to "the best job he ever had."

    The guys I get a kick out of on this forum are the one's that have opinions about everything trucking. Then you find out they have never been a trucker, or just thinking about becoming a trucker, or are only in truck driving school.

    I'd definitely complain about that. It's 8 miles from my house to my mailbox...and then 8 miles back to the house. Nothing in that box is worth walking 16 miles to get.

    When did he say I havta go to court? Before unplugging the ELD or after?

    I don't have a problem with anyone needing court time, I'll help drive them there HA... (Been there myself...)

    It edges closer to one of the most basic promises when I hire on with someone, You tell me the truth and I'll do the same. Any omission or lying creates big time problems in this situation.
