Yep you hit the nail on the head. You obviously don't know jack about me or owning a truck. My drivers make $60,000+ a year. My drivers usually only work from Monday night to Saturday morning or Tuesday morning to Saturday night. I don't hire newbies either and I only lost one driver last year that begged me to come back. I didnt let him come back because he quit without a notice.
Some weeks click and some weeks don't. That's just the way it is. I can't guarantee my drivers 6,000 miles a week. I can tell them that they will average around 5,000 miles a week for the year. Some weeks more and some weeks less. That's just the way it is. Even the dedicated we have get cut every once in awhile.
Obviously I do know what I am talking about since we started with one truck and are up to nine. Oh sorry I just bought two more so I will be at 11 when I get the other two in. I just think its funny someone who doesn't own one truck tries to tell someone who went from one truck to nine trucks (fixing to be eleven) and one other employee (we run teams) to eighteen full time employees fixing to be twenty two. You just keep on reading there buddy the truth will hit you sooner or later.
