One good reason

First let me say, I've offered both hourly and salary to my drivers for my benefit as that is a way that I could actually use a payroll company to take something off my plate, but only one person was interested in hourly. His production immediately went down, like the first day. In less than two weeks while we had talked about him milking the clock he rolled a truck. I'm not sure that I wan't to try it again, as that was almost exactly what I thought would happen. Drivers have complete control of when and what they do. With a lack of ethics and morals I don't think I'm comfortable with a driver not having an incentive to work in their pay structure. If everyone would work like I do, I would be more than happy to pay hourly with overtime. That is, to just go do what you're supposed to do. Don't spend an extra hour sitting around doing who knows what every time you stop. I have two drivers that I would switch today if they wanted that, but they are very happy with things the way they are. Honestly, I'm pretty sure they trust that I have their best interest at heart, and would be happy to be paid however would be easier for me, but I would preface the conversation the way I did before, which was to say that it would take a few check cycles to work out the best way to do things, and we would make things fair to what their pay was, just in a different way to do it. Percentage is the most fair way to do it in every instance for everyone. If you do something for $2/ mile or $10/ mile we each get the same percentages of the rate, but payroll has to be done in house.
