Hiring drivers: Get thorough info on driver, and keep good files, also know where your truck will be parked. Keep track of every penny and mile. The numbers dont lie and some drivers will try to get you.
Dispatcher 15 years experience: Watch him like a hawk, learn from him also. He can make or break you, is he a people person or a jack ash? A bad dispatcher will run off your drivers and customers.
You need to be a businessman, salesman, recruiter, foreman, custodian, dispatcher, safety director, cheerleader, receptionist, bookkeeper, banker, investigator, BS Detector, humanitarian, hardass, etc. You need every driver/person that can help your business succeed and remember you cant do it all. Unless you want to look like my avatar. Good Luck
