- what do you look for in a company?
good, well maintained but not necessarily brand new equipment
a general friendly atmosphere over a pushy one.
What benefits do you look for and typically how much do you expect or like to make in a week?
benefits like medical, and good benefits, not one in which i pay large amounts of money into each week, and still have to pay high deductibles at the doctors office.
as far as pay, when i was younger, mileage pay that was very close to the going rates, now for the past 3 decades(?) i have worked dedicated accounts at various employers, and i get a salary, which is fine by me, i don't have to concern myself with hourly rates, how many hours i work, etc,etc...
i will not publish my current rate of pay, but to me, it's damned good!
What avenues do you suggest in order to find new drivers? We are trying indeed and craigslist, but aren't getting much success in callbacks.
i actually found my current job on Craig's List....but here is THE PROBLEM, every Tom, DIck and Harry trucking company out there, like ALL the mega carriers advertise on there as well, and as a result, i know i skip over those ads and since IT IS TIRING to do so, i really don;t check Craig's List anymore....
so you may be losing readers for the same reason as well.
try Indeed.com, Monster, and even some local newspapers that have websites with classifieds.
you could even try, your state and even nationally, the U.S. states job service (the unemployment offices) in each state. many, many job listings are posted in my state, that are from around the country..there, you can actually get to see a job seekers resume as well, and communicate with him/her thru thier account.
Thank you very much for your help with this in advance
you're welcomed.
