[QUOTE="deadman, post: 3880151, member: 76049"] I feel as if i'm one of the few non contractors (or former contractors here). Have any of you guys ever tried being honest with your employees? Most of the drivers ive talked to have a general grasp of what it costs to run this business and how you are paid. The problem is (at my sort at least) no contractor will talk about what their p/s rate is or any one of the other ways their paid. What this has a tendency to lead to is driver a goes to driver b and says "did you know the boss gets 7$ a stop and 5$ a package?" driver b then realizes at 100 stops a day and 200 packages his boss is making $1700-$2000 a day while he is making 120-150. driver a and b are now pissed and one of two things happen 1. drivers quit because they believe they have been getting screwed. 2. drivers demand raises beyond what their contractor can pay and then quit when the contractor refuses. maybe... just maybe sitting down and explaining why you cant pay more might benefit you by lowering your turnover which would save you money.
