Nor do they seem to care about WHY drivers/cars leave to work for someone else, and adapt their practices to try and prevent it.
It's simple really from a driver/owner perspective;
Income/Hours-Costs=profit-Hassle=Satisfaction.
Every driver wants to make as much profit in as little time as possible with the least amount of aggro/hassle from base.
Give your drivers hassle and charge high rents, they leave for a cheaper company with less grief. Let the drivers get on with it with little control and charge cheaper rents, they stay.
Bottom line is - How much PROFIT can I make in X hours with company A, and can I make more/less with company B in the same hours.
