[QUOTE="BlackCat, post: 560851, member: 23702"] What viable adjustments are being made to keep guys working? Using my above scenario they OVERPAID. They easily could have brought 4 drivers back and STILL pulled a profit. Why didnt they? Because volume dictated that they couldnt. Here is another way of looking at it. Lets say I have 3 kids mow my lawn every week. They each get paid 5 hr and 10 hr for every hr they worked after the first. Week in and week out they get the job done in 1 hr. Out 15.00. Now lets say one day the kids arrive and for whatever reason the "volume" of grass didnt come in as expected and I only need 3/4 of the lawn mowed, so I send one kid home for the week. The 2 kids now take 1 1/2hrs to complete the same task. Out 20.00. So I not only kept 3 kids employed, it saved me money and the job was done in a more timely and efficient manner. So these viable adjustments that are being made to keep guys working are? [/QUOTE]
