“It’s hard to sometimes do the right thing, you know who your customer is, sometimes you have to take the short term, but understand that if you really want to engender loyalty, if you want to create a sustainable, long term, profitable organization, the people that you work with, both the ones who pay the freight and new and talk about the employees, that would be a big mess on my heart. You want to make sure that your employees are happy, engaged, loyal themselves because you cannot possibly have a happy customer if you have miserable employees.”
