Well its about time! I was an owner operator before Reagan deregulated the industry. $2.00-$3.00 a mile was the norm for owner operators. After deregulation- you got Swift and JB Hunt hiring people for .21 cents a mile.. Cant make a living that way.... Harleyevo |

Quoting: Arcbender Yup, but nowadays you got governed trucks at (dangerously) low ridiculous speeds like 62mph, cameras in cab watching you pic ur nose, microphones to snitch on you, elogs, ya you might make 5 g's or so a month otr but if you divide that up 7 days a week 13 hours a day u aint making squat . PAst 10 years ive been werkin for sod farm haulin grass, trucks governed but at 75, and no cameras, no paperwork and no logs, yeee haaaa ! Sure is nice to see the wage increases though, pays been stagnant for the past 25 years. Last Edited by NasTraDooMis on 10/17/2018 09:08 PM Just passing thru. OG id 126286 NasTraDooMis |

I was told at the food stamp place by the black lady who has the power a life-and-death over all of us white nothing's right to my face that there is no job training cuz she thought that I was stupid enough not to understand that's the whole point of their office. That job training that they reserved for others of their own race is extremely valuable and can be a lifelong career They're supposed to hook you up with things like CDL training but I guess if you're white they do not have any motivation to help you out apparently. Possible they're just stupid and lazy and have no desire to help you but I see other fellow minorities getting into those programs apparently and getting all kinds of fantastic jobs.

I've been a truck driver the last 9 years, it's a good job field but it's tough on the body. If you get in with a good local company it's worth it, but if you work for a mega otr outfit it's not. I'm in the process of getting out of the industry and doing something else. I've had enough |

I would like to go to school and be a trucker but I wonder if it's possible to occasionally smoke a joint and get away with it. That would be ideal if they just fucked off with making the shit illegal cuz that would probably be ideal to just settle down after the drive with a little toke and play some acoustic guitar and pass out. |

What happens when the Chinese crap is no longer shipping subsitized and the products raise in price and nobody wants expensive trinkets any more? It seems to me that once the business dealings with China are on a level playing field, we will need less truckers moving a bunch of crap that is no longer selling. |

Ahhh.... Nope. unless you find a company that dont drug test. You can smoke it all you want at any company but you get hit with a random and its audios and you most likely wont get hired anywhere else. And if you get in a truck accident while high youre screwed and the company is screwed. The sod farm im at dont drug test, this one driver we had toked up all the time and got in a truck wreak which he was at fault for, needless to say he no longer werks there and the company is facing big lawsuits. Hes screwed for getting another cdl job,ever. Just passing thru. OG id 126286 NasTraDooMis |

Most of you have no idea why there is shortage...after December 19 2019 all trucks made after 2001 required to have ELD ( electric logging device) ...and to make money with that thing in your truck...you will have to literally live in truck. Other option is to go work for big company hourly wage... unless it is union or gubment job....you will work from payday to payday...but now live in company truck.

There is no such thing as a worker shortage in any industry. It is always a pay shortage. If you pay enough, people will take the job. Can't find enough people who want to be truckers? then double the starting salary and then see how many sign up. |
