> I’m never going to turn down any of the long ones, mainly just because that is how I am programmed. However, if I run a Zone 20, even with the increase in rates that we negotiated, I’m only making about $360-$370. In that same amount of time, if I was running a bunch of Zone 2s or 3s, I could make twice that or more. I think some thought and consideration should go into adjusting the rings. I’m not saying everything needs an increase across the board, but the outer rings definitely need to come up and the inner rings could come down a little bit. I think this would incentivize the drivers to take more of the longer runs. As a company, Copart would lose a little more on the longer runs and I think make up for at least some of that loss on the shorter runs, making it a win-win on both sides. The difference would mainly incentivize the drivers to want to take the longer runs first, putting you in a better position at the end of the day to catch up if you need to run a lot of shorter runs. Here's a corrected version:
> I think this would help the structure and driver retention as well. I think this is probably one of the main reasons that drivers become unhappy over time - taking a lot of long runs and running their trucks to death while wanting to run more short runs to be more profitable. If you take away that incentive to run the short runs, I think it would alleviate a lot of their displeasure with the way things are structured. Not saying that's a big problem - I haven't seen that myself. I can just speculate that it would become an issue over time.
> I think restructuring in this manner would increase morale and profitability and kind of even the playing field. I think that type of restructuring would be nice.
> I would like to point out how helpful everyone has been that I have been in contact with. Everyone from the recruiters to the yard manager and the dispatcher that I've been working with over this past week has been nothing but amazing. However, it is my experience dealing with the corporate world that when you have people who are really good at onboarding people, it's usually because turnover is really high. I don't know if that is the case in this instance, but they are incredible enough at their job that it has made me take notice and be aware of that. And if the turnover is high, I do not believe it has anything to do with them because like I said, they have been incredible.
