<p>[QUOTE="scott180, post: 11604004, member: 102780"]I've always wondered if the key would be overpaying the drivers compared to the going rate. An extra $10k-$15k a year won't kill profits but would make a big difference to a driver. Then demand the best drivers. Eventually after letting go more than a few drivers you'll have a crew that needs little oversight and respects the equipment so they also lower the maintenance cost. The low turnover and lack of damaged equipment may be enough to cover the higher salary alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
