One of the things I’ve been thinking about recently is the unusually high amounts of driver turnover compared to most other industries. I’ve heard drivers mostly leave because they (understandably) find better rates at another company, so they jump ship.

For company drivers - is this true? What are the main reasons you leave a carrier?

And follow up - do you think a loyalty program from a carrier might inspire you to commit to them for longer?

Ex. For every 10,000 miles - you get a complimentary night at a premium truck stop. Every 3 months you stay with the company, your rate per mi increases by a few % points - so if you stay with one carrier for 5-10 years, you get paid way better than almost anyone else in the market, among other seniority/performance-based perks like: - Scheduling preferences for time home with family, - Discounts on groceries/food while on the road - Higher priority for rollouts of newer equipment - Therapy/counseling while you’re on the road etc.

Is this something you would like to see as a company driver?

I thought it would be a nice touch since it tries to improve driver quality of life in a personal way, instead of just paying slightly more and hoping it solves the problem.
