Most people who drive the vans for owners are broke. I had to advance one of my van drivers money for the first two weeks. But the guy is a really good and dependable driver. I knew right away that he could be trusted and I paid him for every load he ran 2 weeks before I got paid for the loads. I have another driver in my other van and she has a really good credit card and she ran off of that for the first week. I have already paid her for a couple small runs and a 1900 miler - a few days before I got paid for them. It's hard t find good drivers but I run my drivers through a background check before I hire them and it seems to work out jist fine. I'm sorry for your misfortune with drivers! I hope you find some better ones in the future.

Bliz, maybe you should explain how you do background checks and what they cost. It seems the people that aren't doing checks need to consider doing them.
