It is estimated that every time truck driver quits and decides to leave the company, the trucking company will have a loss of $6.000. And that is only on average.
What you need to know is that in most of the cases, the truck drivers operating Class 8 trucks also known as 18-wheeler trucks are not behaving in the most professional way.
What that actually means and looks like is that they would simply leave the truck unattended somewhere in the middle of the nowhere, on some truck stop and decide they want to quit.
They would just give a call to their company informing them that they are quitting and that they left the keys inside the truck. And that is it, nothing more nothing less. You can imagine the cost to recover that truck are much higher than $6,000.
Add to this that broker might charge you extra for late delivery and you can easily face $15k of an extra unplanned cost that will take you months to recover.
