Desperate to deliver their goods, New York Food suppliers are hiring mercenary truckers from Alabama — and they’re putting them up in hotels in the Bronx because they can’t find local drivers.

"I’ve never seen drivers get paid what they are paid today," Jennings added. "They are getting well into the six figures and they can easily make $3,000 a week. A [commercial driver’s license] is like a golden ticket right now."Magoo1968, Trucker61016, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -

This article is a testimony to the power your cdl has right now. You've seen the massive sign on bonuses companies are throwing around. Our company now pays an additional $5 per hour for all weekend work. The driver shortage is now real. If you are not making at least 80k per year you need to look elsewhere. Somebody will pay you that and more to get drivers.
