They want to count your money instead of their own. However I actually had one tell me, and I'll always respect him for this, (we were talking about one driver who was talking about how much I make) " I come here to drink the milk, not count the cows".
Again call me jaded, but make sure you realize that while it's a team effort and everyone needs each other, (the office people can't deliver the freight and the drivers can't get the loads the people in the office get) always remember who the lawsuit is going to go to. Because one of them gets a little greedy and want to start fooling with the logs, he'll get OOS and it reflects bad on the whole company and you can fire him but it's on your CSA score for two years. Anyway again best of luck to you. We are all here to answer questions and help so don't be bashful of asking.
Yeah, it's a shame you can't give someone the world and not be able to expect the same back. I guess I want to be slightly above fair, lol. Don't want anyone taking advantage of us from the jump! We actually got our truck just yesterday afternoon. It was supposed to be this past Saturday, but they had some delay in getting us the truck. It was supposed to be a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia, ended up being a 2012 Volvo. Not complaining by any means, lol.
