Ya, we're hurting bad as a company...I bet if Scott Davis only made $2 million, he could still pay his bills and save the company $3mil.

When you're running the company based on numbers; service and safety become disregarded.
Cram the trucks, get the stops off don't waste any time! Where's the customer service come in? I'm embarrassed delivering some boxes that have just been crammed through and into my truck
When you don't care about your employees and the fact that they may have personal plans after work that had to be canceled because, oh, another 10 hour day, then the employees start to care less about their job and especially their boss.
It is not safe to be working as hard as we do day in and day out for the long run. I don't mind giving a fair day of work for 8 hours, after that, I'm in conservation mode.
