    @Frank Speak
    Are you retired from the military, law enforcement, or corrections?

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

    This tax pays for public transportation.

    If you are a resident of Portland, you are blessed with an arts tax, because the drug-addicted homeless there need something tangible to urinate on.

    No. I do not live in Portland.

    I don't know if freight volume is down. Fortunately, I am never waiting for a new load assignment. What I do notice are new 2023 Freightliner tractors sitting bobtail along the fence in the yard.

    The company goes all out painting and decaling them. They even paint the frame! :eek:

    With inflation running at 10%, the past couple years, and now a ‘wage reduction’ that is a double kick in the testicles.

    They know it’s going to set alarm bells with their employees but have no other option to stay afloat. With how crazy the cost of living and inflation went up this is a hit to the guy bringing down their wages I’ve had debates with the my company about the wage increase we had couple months ago is actually less than the inflation so we’re actually making less then you got guys that are getting their wage cut which is a double whammy. Sadly the only option for the driver is to stay where you’re at but look for other options and run away the moment they miss the first check. The companies on the other hand need to look for more dependable or profitable freight like specialized cargo I hear the companies hauling dedicated pharmaceuticals are still doing ok.
