While rates have risen for customers, drivers have not seen a comparable increase in pay, they contend. “There's no doubt that we have to be better,” Mullica said during the May 2 meeting. “I say that with, hopefully, the industry listening in. There's not another option other than to be better. Unfortunately, with Senate Bill 98, I'm not sure if we're able to get there.”
