5. Avoid Accountability
You may take responsibility to do the work, but taking ownership of the results is only accepted when it is successful.Tip: When you are clearly wrong or unsuccessful, accept that it’s your fault, provide a solution, and fix it or apologize.
6. Limit Growth
You refuse to grow and learn to raise your level of contribution. Organizations look for employees / drivers that continually add value and have potential.Tip: Show that you are future-focused, and you are investing to build your personal value.
7. Minimize Contribution
You believe providing support to other’s success is a burden. You are self-centered and often are looking for the easy way out.Tip: Realize that you gain power and support when you contribute to the successes of others, if not immediately, then in the long run.
8. Avoid Being a Team Player
You yearn for individual praise and appreciation over the team recognition. Somehow, you feel threatened if you are not singled out for the work that you have done.Tip: Follow President Harry Truman’s practice and belief, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”
9. Create Problems
You don’t leave your personal life and issues outside your work. It could be the reason why your work performance is suffering and you lack focus. You find yourself playing more of the blame game than the solution game.Tip: Start with the assumption that you are the problem and you need to fix the issues outside of work, so that you can perform inside of work.

love this whole post.I mean think about it,there are so many thing we do on a daily basis,that could COST some one else time and money.Simple things,like making your own phone calls 24 hours before to the agent,the shipper and your help.....I know of maybe 20 guys who rely on dispatch to set everything up for them,that's YOUR JOB..They could be finding fill for other drivers,or answering the phone for some other work....Then the paperwork,sloppy paperwork,chasing down other paper you forgot to get signed,puts additional time they could be processing some one else's papers,so in effect,the lack of attention to detail may keep some one else from getting paid...
Then good habits to get into....8 am east coast,you need to do your first check in call,even if your on the west coast,things may have changed overnight,it's another way to cut problems off before they start.Then,checking in again at 3 pm(east coast),it will get you known as being eager...
High maintenance could be simply you require too much,or too many resources,to do your job effectively,or costing some one else time or money.....LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN STUFF.....
