I have the proof of the driver I spoke about. That is for him to post, not me.
When I finish mine, I'll post them.
Some other issues I helped some with, and these 3 drivers drive for fleet owners, are:
One is calling dispatch for layover approval. Didn't know all he had to do was fill in dates and times and put in Tim's name.
Another didn't know he could go on FV and see his numbers. Thought only the owner had access.
Another forgot about the expense sheet and hasn't turned in toll receipts for reimbursement, so he doesn't run tolls when he can avoid them.
Had I not asked the questions, these drivers would have never known to ask.
Not only do these new folks coming in have to learn new freight areas, they also have figure the culture. It is different than other company. Where else do you have access to everyone, from the CEO on down.
Most companies we all came from all operate as a voice on the phone.
Dispatching is buried behind locked doors, smoked glass windows or separate buildings. You can't even sleep in your truck on Panther property.
We have all come from different carriers or different type of driving experience. Those of us that have been here longer should help those coming.
Where is the fine line of being family vs individual business owners or working for or working with. Are the load one employees the family or are we all part of the family.
In my family, we all help each other. We don't wait to be asked. We look for issues. That's how families grow and stay together, isn't that part of it.
Yeah, but they paid me 100% of the load. That means they needed it covered, probably for an important customer (and aren't they all?), and if they're going to pay me 100%, the least I can do is give 100% in return.
Attaboy.....

Good morning gang! and here's my two cents for the day.
Ron, while we are all part of one big family and we try to help each other out, we are also independent business owners and run our business the best we can. Posting numbers is simply no body else's business. Not only to Load 1 people, but also remember this is the MOST read forum in EO and they watch us all the time.
so everyone quit pickin yer nose.*LOL*
