There's a lot of people that have seen a pay increase. Minimum wage is no longer $3.35. It's now $15.

You are definitely applying to the wrong companies. There are companies that treat you very well and pay 80 to 90k, even upwards of 100k per year. Get away from the megas and seek out the smaller outfits.
Oh, and I don’t want to hear no driver shortage until you’ve actually had to find and hire a good driver. It’s nearly impossible in some parts of the country. (And my opinion is highly esteemed)Last edited: Oct 17, 2020

Over 88,00 truckdrivers lost their jobs in April. Some have returned to a truck but many have not and never will. In the meantime the megas are not churning out drivers at the rates they were pre-Covid, around 500,000 a year. Is there a shortage. Maybe of good qualified drivers.

Automatic aren't the desired or the best equipment for some local operations. Definitely not ours.Moosetek13 Thanks this.
