I guess you can't treat people like cattle and expect to be loved for it. Who knew?

read that on Yahoo finance but the story originated from CNN money.

Ask any experienced driver dealing with freight (or lack thereof) in Obamaville about what the situation would be for ALL current drivers, if tomorrow, 200,000 new drivers with empty trailers hit the streets, highways, and truck stops. There is NO driver shortage and no loads going unmoved because there is a lack of trucking capacity. There is only a bunch of trucks gathering dust which is a normal business cycle as economy and freight movements go up and down. They do like the hiring tax credits, though and could care less if they have more drivers running fewer miles because they may pick up 4 extra loads from their competition next week in Atlanta because they shoved 30 new trucks into the Georgia market.

Theres good and bad drivers at just about any company bottom feeder or not. And the Industry has shown that it wants steering wheel holders because of the way they pay and what they pay. When have you seen that 50K to 75k potential earnings next to the average hrs you will have to work and days OTR to get it? Never. In my book even if they salaried every driver with 2 years at 50k a year they are still getting a bargain- But right now they are getting drivers at fire sale wages and they can't understand why people aren't signing up to be treated like a fool, work 90hrs a week and live on the road 11 months out of the year?
