9. Be a Driver Focused Company
One of the biggest mistakes that transportation companies make is not respecting their employees, especially truck drivers.
There are companies which offer great salary but they would not put their focus on the company drivers.

- Driver safety
- Vacation days
- Covered Insurance
Some of the US regulations like OSHA and NHTSA state that companies should consider employee and driver safety a No.1 priority.
