Where have all the good employers gone

After reading and contributing to the other post I would like to ask the same question to the employers.
I believe I am a good driver with many skills pertaining to the job that I do, but why do so many employers treat me like something they can just use and abuse.
My last employer is a case in point, he didn’t care one iota about my welfare, health or state of mind. All he was interested in was getting the trip done as quickly as possible and turn straight round again.
My last employer is a cowboy and should not be allowed to hold a operators licence but he does and as done for many a year.
Don’t get me wrong I am willing to work hard, for a fair wage.
Bosses these days just treat their drivers as a comodity which is easilly replaced if anything goes wrong with it.
So come on employers, who are the good ones that treat their drivers with the respect they deserve.

love the title of the post - simple, as long as morons keep running bent for cowboy bosses, the more reputable operators will get disheartened and quit the industry or simply go out of business trying to compete with the cowboys - who will be the only ones left
