Any chance we can keep the polarized politics out of this thread?

Truck drivers could make double and a box of cereal would cost an extra dime or quarter, assuming the costs were passed along perfectly.
Something along those lines. Someone willing to do the math can get more accurate. I'm sure someone will be like "actually you'd only make an extra $350 a week if prices only increased that much." Ok. So give us an extra $350 a week.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -

Now is the worst time to buy a truck. So I won't take anyone until things normalize.Muskie and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
Union Pacific Railroad is suspending all service for container unit trains between Los Angeles and Chicago for at least 7 days beginning this week. That is 50 trains or more, with 200-400 containers on each one.
Why?
Because the rail head in Chicago is so backed up with containers they cannot handle anymore until they get the backlog cleared.
It is legendary how badly the drivers are treated at the ports and rail heads. Pay and conditions. Some OTR, some day cab.
Now it is coming back to haunt the companies in that supply chain. And this is only one segment of the industry. All have symptoms of the same disease.
It isn't just pay.haycarter, rollin coal, Midwest Trucker and 2 others Thank this. -
