[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 180505"] [b]Re: Boot Eskew[/b] sounds like he does to me, overworking your employees is a good idea? what book of business management did you get your education from? 12 hrs a day delivering packages is ridiculous and YES it does happen everyday for some drivers. Yea yea you can say how well they are paid, but if they rarely see their families, or have time to spend it, whats the point. Employees are people, not machines.
