    ......Like if there was a recent "happy accident" (unexpected pregnancy) or something, then this might be the way to go..........

    I heard they are worse then reinhart. Why would you do this type.of work for 65k. At.least work for Sysco or US Foods. 80-90k.

    Yes, they have a billboard up in northeast PA. But it's not a sign on bonus, it's a retention bonus. Which means that they dribble it out into your paycheck over time as an incentive to not quit.

    They're a food service company.

    A mega carrier solicited a bid from me the other day to pull Maines trailers. 10+ stops per load, driver unload or option to have a helper do the unloading. Possible (probable) layovers. Mega pays for a hotel for the helper.

    I bid $1800/day to the truck. Should have bid $2000. Haven't heard back from them yet.

    Why not just increase wages to entice current employees from leaving and hire new ones. I think an extra 3-4 bucks an hour would have a few extra people line up versus 10,000 after X-amount of months.
     
    Shaggy and Fuelinmyveins Thank this.
