I find that equally disturbing. Tho we have only 5 D Units, we make it part of the hiring process to have dinner with ALL drivers and if applicable, their Wives. You must have face time with those in your fleet family. We take hours with our drivers before they even leave out for first dispatch.
In retrospect, I can certainly agree with you. When I applied to Panther, coming from over the road with a large hauler, I just assumed that this was the way things were done. Ironically, we went with the first company that called us (boy, we were lucky) because we didn't know that we'd be getting calls from other owners. Our work history was, I assume, all verified by Panter prior to our being hired. On the other hand, we didn't really know anything about the owner with the exception of what they promised us over the phone in an approximatelly 45 minute conversation. Luckily, they've absolutely lived up to everything they stated. This has really been an eye-opener. and I appreciate the constructive criticism.
