As a very recent former employee of WCT, I'm not surprised at the fast turn around of the fleet. While it sometimes seems like a different story from the outside, they run a pretty tight ship with regards to their fleet. I guess being the big fish in Wellington allows them to push through changes on their drivers without too much fear of them jumping ship - a Combined driver is generally busier than those of most other companies.
I'm actually really impressed by them - they had major changes at the management level last year, which by and large went pretty smoothly.
I'm probably a bit biased - while I no longer work there, I am still rather fond of the staff there. They lost a couple of fantastic managers in the last 18-24 months, but like I said above, it seems they have not lost steam from a commercial perspective.
I seem to remember the company being called, amongst other things, arrogant by various blogs (maybe this one?). Is this the general perception?
