[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 735267, member: 10234"] I believe that the majority of drivers are "average or above average" where my use of average equates to "pretty darn good" by most companies standards. Let me ask you this........ Just what is the incentive to being anything but "average"? In todays' climate.....do an "above average" amount of work and it will be expected tomorrow. Spend an "above average" amount of time helping a customer with a problem and expect to hear about it tomorrow. In the earlier days of my career as a driver....I prided myself in knowing that I was doing an "above average" job. On occasion, I was rewarded for doing so. Sometimes it was nothing more than recognition from the management team. At some point the game changed. You were no longer lauded for your "above average" performance....that "above average" performance was not only expected, it was demanded. I became that "average" driver (and perhaps in their minds the "below average" driver) dictated by their demands. I didn't need a pat on the back every day to do a good job.....but it sure beat the knife that replaced it. [/QUOTE]
