Why is it so hard to find good drivers?

Yes sir I was responding to your statement. I tried to do the quote thing but missed to do it correctly. Again I do understand that many repossession yards are less than accommodating to transporters. Our company picks up from many. Most do not have maned offices and no set business schedule. MAny of the Debtors are decent people falling on hard times and some are less than stellar people. Statements that you are making imply that you have a clue to what kind of company we are here. When a company has many employees sometimes things happen. To say that I have proved to have a less than desirable repo company is based on 1 person who stated that most of the dealings here were very good and 1 issue to you makes it a entire company issue. Very Short sited on your part.I do believe that 1 bad apple can ruin a bunch. As issues are identified they are dealt with.I did not start the transport industry, I was asked to help. After that the company keeps growing. We must be doing something right.We are by far not the least expensive transporters in the region we cover. People keep asking us to do more because of our level of service, professionalism and such forth. If all transporters were stellar than I would have never had an opportunity to enter the market.With that said, I truly appreciated hearing the issues experienced here and this morning had a staff meeting to see what was written. We take it very seriously and are working to better ourselves and our image daily. If you have constructive criticism please do share. If you just want to summarize all repo companys into one bad experience, I believe that has been accomplished and that's ok. Thank You for your input.

 

We are regional to the north east. Not in the VA area sorry. We currently have just hired another driver but you can always call the officexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Well This is in response to my very first post here and the advise given. So much has transpired since this post. I have a team of drivers now that are awesome. Just to lay out what has gone on. I replaced my trucks and bought new 2014 and 2015 Petes. Grew by a couple also. Took 11 months and 17 doctor appointments to get my med card (diabetes) so i could get my own class A. Got my class A so i could see what you guys really do out there. Moved a few loads and found out how hard you guys really work out there. We now pay better (in line with the industry). We offer benefits, We still give paid vacations, and we have a lot of fun. I now have a driver manager that will hit me with his truck if i try to drive one of the others. LOL I learned from my guys how to do the job and learned from my body that Its not my cup of tea. The trucks are all out fitted with everything a driver needs to be comfortable for his time out there. Also everything needed for hime to do his job. Its Hard work. <---did i already say that??
Now as things are getting better we are growing and will be buying more trucks soon. We are doing it 1 at a time. We now have 6. The 7th will be purchased soon. That you guys for your input. Its been very helpful. I now know how to live in a truck, load a decent load and drive for 8 hrs and take a 30 so i can drive 3 more just in time to load and unload, I love what i do and will continue to grow. I refuse to haul cheap freight but do some mail man stuff. The drivers are the back bone of this company with a great support team in the dispatch office with some hard working ladies. If you read this and are a driver that likes what he sees, call us we will be needing a driver for that new truck soon. Once again, Thanks for all the feed back.
