These OTR companies are taking the shorter runs that pay more ,while the driver is paid by the mile ....this adds up to
to more work & less pay .....so low that it is not feasible to support a family .....look at the average OTR work week and we are finding that average is now at an all time low 2200 to 2800 miles a week ,....a good week would be around 3200
.....now if we break it down to an hrly wage ,for a 3200 mile work week and all that's involved in this at the very best
....the driver is making around 12 bucks an hr or less .....notice that the mega corporate fleets are grabbing every uniformed rookie they can get into their equipment ,( any warm body will do ) while they continue getting gov assistance
.....i hope someday ,we stick together to put a stop to this by standing up for ourselves and our families
to have frgt regulations re instated ,until that day comes we can expect this job to pay less and less -
The only parts that count against your 70 are your line 3 and line 4 activities in a 14 hour period. Your statement and little math divisions make no sense and are incorrect. I run 3000 a week on recap hours and yes 8.75 is very much the solution. -
What if your destination is 8.76 hours away? What do you do then? I mean it being such a solution and all.Last edited: Aug 21, 2014

I just left one of the better bus companys (relatively speaking) in MN, and even their pay, vehicles, and compensation are terrible when compared to the trucking job I came back to (and never should have left). The bus job was mainly hauling old people, 2nd and 3rd rate colleges and high school groups around.
