Need some answers from o/o's

can i throw my hat in the ring if your hiring.... lol

 

With your rate of pay and benefits you should be able to get a very experienced driver with a clear license and enough maturity to be an asset to your company. Not like the liability you have now.

Cutting your pay rate as suggested above will cause you to have to lower your expectations. Screen people extremely well and you will find the right person.

 

Sally,
When you can that nitwit, CALL ME! For a chance like that, I would clean your house on the weekends!!
But seriously, I probably live too far from to make it feasible.(Florida)
I am looking for a company with two or three trucks that will hire an experienced OTR driver with no recent experience.

Eskimo needs too crawl back in his igloo....I have over 30 yrs...2 million mile + safe driver !!! You couldn't pull that crap on me. As my pa always said you get what ya pay for. With some exceptions.... Fire him and if you're in a right to work state, you can dump for no cause at all. He sounds like a jerk looking for a handout. As previously posted, he may become a worker's comp issue. Anyhow I hope it works out for yall......PS...Eskimo, no hard feelings I hope. I have agreed w/you on 99.9% of your posts. But cheer for ya on this 1 ? nope can see that far !!!

 

Heh Dude, why are hammerin' on Eskimo?
I think the comments he made are true. Actually, I couldn't see what you are disagreeing with, unless it is the payrate.
He was rght about that also. .41cpm per mile is top dollar in this economy, considering most companies start experienced drivers at .31-.32cpm. If you haven't driven in the last year, the pay drops to .26-.27cpm, no matter how much experience you have. When you are getting employer paid health insurance and .41cpm, you would have to be a dumba%s to mess that up!!

yea tjacks you will have to have him quit if you fire him you could regret that....trucking could get a lot tougher and he ought to be glad he got that much........you are paying a fair wage considering all of the benefits that a hired driver never seems to have a clue about... I think they think that the benefits just magiclly appear at no cost to his employer????

 

Necroposting. The OP is long gone. I would have loved to know what they pull and how they got their contracts.

 

I'm guaranteed $.40 a mile every mile I run including bobtail and deadhead . I'm paid percentage . Last week I got paid to deadhead 150 miles from the terminal to the shipper , did two 1100 mile roundtrip dedicated runs that paid $550 each plus I got 5 hours detention time . Then I got paid to deadhead back to the terminal (10 minutes from home ) for my restart .
I have full benefits but have my health insurance through my wife's employer .

 

Guys like this are the reason I'm a single truck and trailer owner. Welfare Wanna Be employees. Hand him letters one at a time on his screw-ups to sign. Then hand him one cutting his pay. The cry baby will quit. If he doesn't, hand him one firing him. Enjoy his reaction. Have the adult beverage of your choice handy to enjoy a toast with Hubby after the idiot leaves.
