Wong already quit. He said he can’t survive on 5% tips......
Well if he would bring out the complete order instead of -15% he would get a bigger tip
I hear Coop Dispatch was number 12...https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/best-companies-for-employees-215027864.html

How to win over underhanded drivers

"It might be considered a witty cat-and-mouse game if the stakes weren’t so high. But when lives could be lost in worst-case scenarios, having truck drivers disable safety systems in any number of imaginative ways, and for whatever reasons, isn’t the least bit amusing."

So are they saying many veteran drivers have a hard time accepting change? And they are outsmarting the safety devices? Can’t see how educating them on how these things work will change anything? Maybe Fleet Owner should have talked to Satish, first....

My favorite line: “drivers are smart”. What????
It was years before our drivers would use seat belts seems every driver knew someone who burned or drowned
because he couldn't get his belt released, never knew of one case that was documented.
After we had a driver thrown from his Roadboss, because a drunk cut across in front of him, seat belts became
popular.

It actually DOES happen. A tragic wreck on the PA Turnpike this week was an example.
A father, who worked for the turnpike, took his 11 year old son to see where he worked work. (On take your child to work day)
Across from the Donegal Maintenance shed, their vehicle ended up under a reefer. The son, who was buckled in died. The Dad was thrown from the vehicle and survived.
Tragic story, heartbreaking...
A "Nightmare Come True": Amazon Launches Freight Brokerage, Slashes Prices By 30%
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...-launches-freight-brokerage-slashes-prices-30
In what is being called a "nightmare come true" for freight brokers and carriers, Amazon did what it traditionally does every time it enters a new market, and took its own digital freight brokerage platform live while undercutting prevailing market prices by 26% to 33% in the latest deflationary race to the pricing bottom in order to grab market share, according to FreightWaves.
The company is trying to not allow trucking capacity to constrain its growth and, for now, it is coming in at price points that are far below market prices. This indicates that Amazon is not trying to realize enormous gross margins at first. The company's new portal is intended for those who want Amazon‘s rates for full truckload dry van freight in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Based on these rates, the company is essentially a "free, marginless brokerage".

If truckload carriers would focus on other customers, and their freight,cutting the amount of loads hauled for Amazon would help curtail allowing them to cut rates this way. Hopefully many carriers are smart enough to not haul a high percentage of Amazon freight. If they are very dependent on them now, they will be eating cheap rates. But if carriers say no to this, let Bezo’s buy a fleet of trucks, and try to hire drivers, paying, and treating them like their DC workers..
