Continuing the awesome intelligence from our recent survey from the largest and most engaged audience of truck drivers in the country CDLLife, interesting, but not surprising, that a supportive work environment is what motivates drivers the most during challenging times. Building a great team starts by building relationships and defining great experiences for drivers before they are even hired. Hiring great drivers is NOT about casting a wide advertising net or even spending a lot on advertising....there is a better way. https://lnkd.in/eNKrvkEG

Right after college, I landed a job at Carvana. However, for the first three months after graduation, I didn't have a car, so I got around by scootering to work or taking an Uber. One day, I decided to Uber. The driver pulled up in my driveway, and as I got in, we started chatting. You know, the usual stuff: "Are you so-and-so?" and "What do you do for work?" I asked him how long he'd been driving for Uber and if it was just a part-time gig. He told me he used to work at a company that made glass for everything from houses to cars. As we talked, the conversation drifted to bad company practices. He told me about his friend, let's call him X, who had been in the glass industry for over 20 years. X was a real expert with a ton of experience in different glass-making techniques. X was given just a month to train a new hire. He did his best to teach the new person everything he knew, but the job was tough, and the new hire could only pick up about 50-75% of it. As soon as the month was up, X got called into HR and was told he was being let go. Understandably, he was pretty pissed. A few weeks later, his old company called him back. The new hire hadn't been able to do the job, so they ended up firing the new person, too. But here's the twist: they tried to pull the same move again, this time with three new hires, without telling X. But X saw it coming. This time, he only taught them half of what he knew. And just like before, they fired him. But they had to beg him to return when things fell apart again. X ensured he got a company car and doubled his salary before agreeing to return. And even then, he only shared a fraction of his knowledge with the new hires. The takeaway? Be wary of bad company practices and protect yourself. Luckily, I didn't have to deal with anything like that during my time at Carvana. #CareerLessons #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeExperience #CareerGrowth

UBER TO SPACE ANYONE? Firefly Aerospace is pushing to develop a reusable rocket, the Medium Launch Vehicle (MLV), to compete in the commercial space launch market. While this focus on reusability can bring cost savings and efficiency, it may come at the expense of reliability and quality control. Similarly, in sales team motivation, it's crucial to balance the need for urgency and proactivity with a focus on quality and continuous improvement. Rushing to close deals without proper preparation and support can lead to mistakes and decreased team morale. Instead, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement can help sales teams navigate challenges and achieve sustainable success. In both cases, finding the right balance between speed and excellence is key to achieving long-term success. __________ Found this interesting?

🎉 Join us in giving a huge shout out to Carl "Buzz" Burriss, a remarkable Sales Rep, as he celebrates an incredible milestone - his 45th anniversary with Transtar (in Q1 2024)! Buzz, your hard work and passion have been a driving force behind our success, and Transtar wouldn't be where it is today without dedicated employees like you. We couldn't resist asking Buzz a couple of questions to commemorate this special occasion: ·        What's your favorite thing about working at Transtar? Buzz: "I love most working with my customers selling them parts. I collect old transmission parts no longer produced and sell them to customers all over the country." ·        What's the biggest change as you look back over your career? Buzz: "The biggest change I've seen is the complexity of automobile transmissions. 'Back in the day,' there were only a couple of transmissions to rebuild, while today there are hundreds of different transmissions." Thanks for the memories, Buzz, and many more to come in years ahead! #Auto #Aftermarket #MilestoneAnniversary #EmployeeSpotlight #wearehiring
