Trucking company decides to pay workers salary instead of hourly: 'The drivers... started fighting back'

The decision this trucking company made really defies all logic. It's almost as if the decision was made by some higher-ups who were trying to save a few pennies. Unfortunately for them, those pennies they saved ultimately cost them plenty of dollars in the long run. 

Driving a truck is a career unlike any other. Truckers spend long months on the road, often living out of their truck and working demanding hours. U/Mallory454 shared that during their tenure as a truck driver in the 1990s, they were often driving 500+ miles per day, as well as working long hours to ensure that their cargo made it on time. So much of the cargo truckers are carrying is time-sensitive deliveries. After all, no one is going to want to eat produce that's been sitting in a hot truck for days on end! That's why the stakes were high, but the pay made it all worth it. Well, at least it did until some meddling higher-ups at the company decided to go changing the way the workers were paid. It made things more confusing, and it didn't exactly benefit these hardworking truckers, either. 

After you check out the OP's story, check out these very silly reasons that people got fired from their jobs.
