Hey all - we’re under 2 years old. My biz partner and sometimes his son do all the driving. Their family had a tragic situation which will pull my biz partner away temporarily but unsure for how long. The son is partially impacted but not as much, however his availability is less and less reliable as he has found other jobs at this point. How have you navigated getting a backup driver (CDL needed) on an as-needed basis?
Pay structure? Insurance? Lead time for jobs? Etc where to find these folks that aren’t going to want to be paid a ton but have a fair amount of availability (and maybe experience?!) Thought about someone retired but wants something to do here and there.
Please share your experiences, things I should consider and avoid, and any resources you might have!
Note, we’ve always talked about me getting my CDL, but that takes time and money we don’t have right now.
