[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 2706971, member: 66633"] You seem to have an idea how I operate then. The only difference is I am you then right now in terms of my time there as a contractor. I may be young, but I'm not stupid. Instead of investing in the young, lazy, and entitlement generation it's not always bad to invest in the old underdogs. Sure they may not be the fastest, but if the quality beats the quantity and they're not complaining about the work or pay then that's okay with me. As long as I don't have to deal with management about contingency situations, I'm all for it. I can easily tell you in my business alone more incidents easily were outweighed within my younger drivers versus my older ones. Why do you think that is? Because they are in a rush to finish as fast as possible and don't care what they do to the trucks (garbage, hitting yellow poles, etc.). If it's not their's why should they care? I exposed those points in day 1 to all my new drivers and tell them you treat it like your car or there will be problems going forward. I think I made my points clear because I haven't had too many issues since. [/QUOTE]
