I agree road expenses has really gone up and the driving wages haven't kept up. A driver should not have to eat out of his cooler.After your road expenses and taxe's you should still be sending home a min. of $700.00 a week.
There are a lot of driver that abuse there road advances and wonder why they don't have a pay check.
I thank a driver should be able to live on $40.00 a day and live pretty good.

It's not only truckers. Some people just flat out don't handle money well, regardless of their income.
There are people that find a way to blow everything they make whether it be $100 or $1000.
Just as there are people making 6 digits that are broke because it's all tied up in debt.

Back in 2000 thru 2003 I ran for IWX, but we ran with J-Mar (Julian) trucks alot. They always ran team as far as I know and then the drivers were claiming 65 to 70K per year, I made 60K for IWX Solo. And yes both company's ran hard. But its one or the other. You either make money or sit around and complain because your not making money. I would rather make money thank you. I do believe they were fussy about whom they would hire
