What tools or persuasive arguements are scms using to keep people are your facilities? We are losing drivers to the competition
23.15 to start??? You must have a higher scale than us. I can't reveal anymore about that for fear of social media negativity retributionMy SCM actually looks for drivers with no LTL experience. He prefers guys with those $14 and $15 an hour jobs so when they waive that $23.15 starting pay in their face they jump on it thinking they reached the Utopia of truck driving.

Who is the highest?
Which carriers would you leave se for if you could choose any ?
I agree, but if I stayed in the LTL business, I'd go to a carrier that at least paid overtime.Personally, none in LTL. This job isn't what it used to be. If I left here it would be out of LTL altogether.
Would abf be a good move?

Leadership says our only competition is Estes, Averitt, AAA, R&L, etc. When asked specifically about FX, ups, and OD the response is those are not regional carriers; they are national and therefore aren't our competitorsIf the Cassels valued their people the way the proclaim they'd pay it.
My area has fallen nearly two dollars an hour under our competitors, some of whom pay overtime. If it weren't for the kool-aid drinkers the turnover would be astronomical.
Tell my customers that they shouldn't ship with fx since their shipment is staying in the south and see what they sayLeadership says our only competition is Estes, Averitt, AAA, R&L, etc. When asked specifically about FX, ups, and OD the response is those are not regional carriers; they are national and therefore aren't our competitors
