A little less "because I said so". A little more " let's work on this ".

Better management. Better training for new drivers. Understanding that we are people not robots. Not working six days a week. Or If working Five days, to have two consecutive days off.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Not enough local contact with customers. They have to go through a broker or a corporate account. They cannot call their local office for faster service. They always complain about delays in service. As a driver it makes me feel lousy to tell a customer that I only go where they send me.
