If he as child support and such, i should payroll deduct it. If i dont i could be liable if he chooses not to pay it. thuis knowing b4 hand is essential. That being said, i know him personally and know he has no children or child suport payments. I'm not loaning him any money (although he might start a tab for my cans of monster lol), just hiring him as a driver.
Not sure why that would matter? Im assuming hes not loaning him money or taking payments on anything. In general if you ever have employees you will learn that it takes time and $ to deal with CREDITORS or WAGE GARNISHMENTS / COURT ORDERS of employees with bad credit history and have judgements against them or collection agencies chasing them.
If you're leased to someone the whole question is moot. If not you should already have one for yourself.
Like it or not, the world seems to think a credit rating (FICO) score is valuable information. It does speak to how the individual conducts himself, and it might have a bearing on whether he is a reliable employee. Since you are personally acquainted with him, you have an advantage most prospective employers don't have.
Hence why im hiring HIM. all employees are risky, but its lot less risky f I know the guy really well
I thought I knew my youngest brother in law very well until the CREDITORS started crawling out of the woodwork looking for $ the week after I hired him.
Most of my runs are 1000+ miles. With a team mate i could do 2 day runs in a day. my last run was 1600 miles. BUt then again, my FM know i like the longer runs.
why not. Driver A ends his shift with a delivery at 8 am. Driver b picks up the next load, drives a full shift. Driver a then drives through the night and delivers the next morn. If load is to wait untill morn, one driver gets some down time. No biggie, truck still makes more money.
