"Drill Sargent my recruiter said I didn't have to get up before 8am and I would have every weekend off. I'll see you at 0800."
I jumped off a tall building, the breeze is nice. Will it hurt when I land?

A man jumps off a tall building. The office workers can hear him yell as he passes the floors.
"So far so good!"
...
...
"So far so good!"
The workers ofcourse believe he's doing fine.
The same can be heard from new drivers working for Mega's or that sign up as a lease operator.
"So far so good!"
...bad rates, low cpm
....Break downs, only paid when rolling
....High payment, no home time
"So far so good!"
Everything sounds hunky-dory doesn't it.
Both scenarios have the same conclusion.

I would bet I have had more jobs than any of you, definitely more trucking jobs. I have left at lest 5 truck jobs within the 1st month, I do not tolerate B.S. PERIOD. When I was told I'm going to be home every weekend and you have me out for 10 days, I'm bringing the truck back to your terminal, completely empty, and handing over the keys after I take photo and video evidence that it wasn't abandoned. The trucking industry pays very badly compared to any other field with skilled labor. I don't see why anyone would be interested in trucking if they aren't already a truck driver. Average trucker pay isn't even $70k a year in the United States. Personally, I have 3 kids and still qualify for government benefits. They want people to take truck driving more seriously, maybe they should pay a serious wage? I have occasionally made more money working for Lyft and DoorDash than I did as a company driver with a CDL and tanker, hazmat, doubles endorsements. These jobs advertise at below $20/hr in my area. Who exactly do you think is going to continue taking such a garbage deal? Who wants to be in poverty working in these kinds of hours and conditions?

I often cry myself to sleep in my pillow of loneliness at the truck stop when my FM / DBL leaves me sitting at a Pilot for 2 or 3 days waiting on a load, after I've been out for 6 weeks.
