When they are the ones that keep the economy moving? Without truck drivers, there would be no food, fuel, lumber, amazon packages, etc.
My grandfather who had been driving for 53 years (may he rest in peace) said back in his day, truck drivers didn't put up with the nonsense that drivers put up with today.
So knowing this, why do so many truck drivers just bend over and take it? Decreased pay, getting screwed over by companies when it comes to not at fault accidents and just the overall disrespect that truck drivers receive every single day.
How did it come to this point where so many truck drivers just accept it?
Serious question that needs an answer. Why do so many truck drivers just bend over and take it?

What are you talking about.
i remember what it was like, it wasn’t all peaches and cream, you worked and you knew what work was. Most drivers today could not make it a week if they had to work in those conditions.LoneRanger, FerrissWheel, Wargames and 14 others Thank this. -

I've talked to many drivers that claim they're bending over and taking it. Ask them why they don't change companies and they can't come up with a sensible answer. They're wimps.

I've known and worked with many drivers that claimed they're getting shafted, but refused to change companies.
One had been with the reefer company for 32 years and claimed it was horrible.
That's one reason I never believe Goggle or Company reviews from truck drivers. They post based on emotion, not fact. Some were born complaining and will die complaining. -
I’ve gotten bent over many times by many companies. I just smile through the pain and say thank you may I have another.

now THAT was something i didn't know..>!!!!!!!
2) your grandaddy was right, i put in 48 years myself, and back in my/his day, we carried a crow bar, and bashed heads, got drunk at every truckstop, took bennies and had white line fever.....and we got every waitress preggo. we were manly men......
3) they don't just bend over, it looks that way to the untrained eye, when they are actually picking up thier very heavy truckers wallet that fell to the floor. no trucker gets screwed over, unless it's from one of his waitress baby mama's, and she wants alimony or palimony.
4) no one "just accepts it", unless of course you mean a lease/purchase plan..????FerrissWheel, Wargames, homeskillet and 11 others Thank this.
