[QUOTE="OrioN, post: 4659654, member: 58562"] Yeah, I see drivers switching contractors or service areas all the time. Mainly to work closer to home . Or to get better pay or be a recognized asset to their subcontractor group. so they can go straight home instead of wasting an hour going back to the terminal, then another hour commute home. I've also seen others setup to fail on certain routes, poor equipment, no hand trucks for the oversized iCs, failure to pay them properly for the stop count/ daily rate/ rescues, late dispatch , etc... so they move on to better run routes /management. Yes, I've seen good and bad drivers, but they all should know it's just a paycheck, nothing more. Sure, they're now stepping up their benefits game since amazon dsps are doing it... it all depends on the subcontractor you're with. I still don't want ground routes; I like coming in later to clean up the overflow. I'll usually give the businesses to one route driver that can meet their closing times. Then I'll sweep up the residential and 999s and formerly dex 002s since no time limit is imposed, just drop n run. I'll do hear some of them say, stay away from OrioN, he's mine; I own him :P [/QUOTE]
