Mainly because the majority are not worth much as a new recruit with a CDL.... CDL's are a dime a dozen. YOU are mere meat, until you prove yourself.
If you or I were a Business owner, paying top wages,,,,who would you hire. A PROVEN PRO, or a rookie? I'd go with proven!
The absolute worst Mega Carrier

I’ve seen proven pros screw up all the same!
-
No Doubt.... Though if you go with the law of averages... who would you hire? Who wuld you get better insurance rates with? A Seasoned Pro.... or a noob? Remember....This is your business! A newly printed CDL driver, unproven on the roads...or a veteran driver?
-
None of the above,because I would do it myself. That way if something happens it’s on me and only me.Last Time Around Thanks this.

OK.... I was looking at it from a Carrier's point of view, or fleet owner....etc....
If I was a a small to medium fleet owner.... NO way am I hiring a new CDL driver to operate my investments.
Heck, so many quit and abandon the trucks or hit things.... the list goes on. -
Well at my exhalted place of work we’ve had a bumper crop of accidents involving drivers that have had as many as 20+ years behind the wheel(mostly involving driver fatigue).
Experience doesn’t always guarantee safety. Something like that could happen to anyone of us at any time.Last Time Around Thanks this. -
True.... Some drivers push it..... there are no guarantees.....

I once heard the head of safety for a company say " A rookie will curb tires, knock the mirrors off and tear off mudflaps but the real big accidents are caused by someone with at least a year of experience "
-
Well, Maybe the large Mega companies hiring newly minted CDLs possibly do what what they are doing??
-
I had to say Werner. If it wasn't for them, the other companies wouldn't have "E-logs" to deal with.
Oldironfan Thanks this.
