my top paid guy last year made 100k. My driver average was slightly more than my own salary. You’re nuts. These guys work their asses off but they get paid pretty well.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. As someone involved daily in decisions involving putting a driver into a truck - our concerns are entirely about balancing revenue (more seated drivers = more revenue, so are group looks better to our bosses) and safety (all the profit is gone and more with one bad accident).

I also manage drivers, and this kind of story is absolutely 100% believable. I deal with stupid shit like this all the time. It's fucking unbelievable.

I manage a fleet of 45 over the road flat bed truck drivers. My boss explained this job as being "in the people business" and that's absolutely true. Those people represent our biggest liability.
