Greener grass?

I am probably not the best person here to give advice, BUT I think I see an opportunity. In this business you have a choice. Work your tail off or seek quality of life. Can you get more loads in a week, or is this a company that has a set schedule with no vision for growth?

Odds are the ladder is not the case. Here is what I have seen over the years.

Some employees start out great and employers are impressed with them for about 90 days. Then the real employee comes out. They can't all of a sudden go to Canada, NYC, Chicago, or east of the Mississippi River. They start to COMPLAIN a lot. They need more money but can't work weekends. Then when they have a driver that is the total opposite and goes above and beyond for 10 years they will use that as the BAR every other employee needs to be at. Employers compare their employees to other employees. It is next to impossible not to when you are trying to build a successful business. Look around and see if you have a CAN MAN as a co-worker. A CAN MAN does whatever the boss says without a hassle or fuss and many do a great job. My experience has shown that the "CAN MAN" gets all the breaks. The CAN'T MAN is the thorn in the bosses side that has a date on his back he can't see. The date of termination. There are greener pastures, but if you are a CAN'T MAN then you will have the same problem there too.

We as employees need to examine ourselves from time to time. I have seen complete dirt bags turn their attitudes around and become very wealthy. It all depends on the choice we make. If you wake up and say "I am going to have a bad day!" I promise you that you will not disappoint yourself. This is food for thought!

Hope this helps someone on this forum.
