This information only came down on Tuesday so it can't be the reason of the vehicles for sale. And I agree that it's time Ground cleaned up it's act. In the past I have admitted to the problems that Ground has and stated that I didn't think they were unmanageable. Now we will find out.
I'll be the first to admit that I was lax with my drivers. That is about to end. Too much money on the line to let it go anymore. Roughly 10-$15,000 over last years money. How shall I do that? Much of it is little stuff. Vehicle ride-alongs, Safety meetings, driver release audits. Then there are the big things. Dealing with accidents. I don't have the details in front of me, but should a driver become ineligible for 3-6 months, he won't be back to work for me before taking a commercial driving course (roughly $750). I'm still putting together the details, but most of the conduct issues are simple back to basics things. Don't driver release to businesses, obtain good signatures, use proper driver release procedures. When I've talked to my drivers in the past it's the stuff I've called the stupid stuff. As in "How can you go out there, run 145 stops,350 packages, be done in 8 hours and kill me with the stupid stuff?" The stupid stuff is the simple, well known, been doing it for years stuff that doesn't get done out of sheer laziness.
I've seen quite a few nervous contractors. I'm excited. I can do this.
