[QUOTE="NYCFXG, post: 1953552, member: 56621"] Our last peak meeting the boys were getting restless complaining about not being able to afford to send guys out because of the lack of weekend volume. These are contractors that have been around for years. I, for the life of me, can't understand how some of them think. I haven't been doing this nearly as long but have vivid memories of suffering through awful days where I tell myself I would pay anything to avoid this situation. Maybe 40% of the trucks in the terminal went out today. Those guys that didn't go out are going to be in a world of hurt on Monday regardless if the volume ever comes. My employees love me because I am always one step ahead and willing to pay out of pocket to keep them from suffering. I have suffered out there right beside them. Everyone was given strict instructions today. Do not come back with anything. You are to attempt every box. They all understand I am paying them to go out today for their benefit, not mine. The other guys in the terminal that are looking at their numbers this morning and thinking how smart they were for not going out this weekend are the same ones I pilfer the best drivers from. In this business, you can make money and suffer mightily or pay more and minimize the pain. [/QUOTE]
