  • Turnover at at least one trucking company is running 100-140%.
  • An interesting contrast.

    With the housing market as it is, what are companies doing differently regarding relocation agreements and in particular with the new hires’ or transferring employee’s house? I have read articles on both sides of the fence from “buy the house so the new employee can focus on the job” to “don’t buy the house as it puts the company in challenging situations”. Any comments?
