[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 430840, member: 14437"] As others have mentioned, there are legal/ethical issues involved. We started this with the DHL Salesforce on a contractual basis. I imagine that Corporate legal tiptoed around this one and covered every possible angle. If there was a non-compete, as was mentioned earlier, DHL could pursue it in civil litigation even though the employee no longer works for them. It would make sense for them to want to Bankrupt their employees given how they've treated them thus far. Also, from what I've heard and seen, the drivers do not measure up to the standards that we would expect from our own. We would be doing the customer's a disservice by offering them service from a former DHL Driver. We would further be doing our employees a disservice by providing any financial incentive to former DHL Drivers while some of our own are on inside jobs or limited hours because of volume. Red, I'm honestly surprised that you of all people would be in favor of giving any kind of money to former DHL Drivers when UPS Drivers in your local aren't getting Full Time hours. Let's give out that money for DHL accounts, but let's give it in the form of AMEX cards for Sales Leads to our own drivers. I feel for these guys that are out of work, but honestly they started working for a company whose whole mantra was low-cost and whose independent contractor model at one point mirrored that of RPS/FedEx Ground. Doesn't sound very pro-employee to me. [/QUOTE]
