I don’t how to feel about it anymore

Uber and Lyft drivers in Houston can do 23 an hour but put a lot of miles on their cars. There’s moving apps where you can show up and help movers and make 20 an hour, more if you have a pickup truck and don’t mind moving stuff.

I don’t think trucking pays enough for company driver when you consider, DOT. Driver Nanny Cams, long hours, we sue trucks lawyers, idiot 4 wheelers, etc.

Maybe better on the OO side.

 

Why is there a "driver shortage "?

 

$1500-2000 in their own vehicle. Think of maintenance.

A lot of "successful" Uber and Lyft folks I've known went out of business during their first major breakdown. And they had money set aside as contingency (how much I don't know, but not enough to fix the car and pay bills during extended downtime, evidently).

This whole concept is largely a race to the bottom in the long run. And by disrupting the cab business model, they're replacing people who are paid to provide a service with independent contractors who just haven't learned the cost of their business model.

Meh. I know they're convenient, but these disruptive businesses are having hard working people pay the cost of undercutting cab prices and putting those companies out of business...while they collect an entirely risk-free finder's fee for bringing cheap people together with naive people. It's just...not the best, in my opinion.

 

Yes, the food in the order is marked up as well.

 

If he is fat this might be the best gig for him. Climbing in and out of that trailer and stacking orders all day will help to work off that weight!

 

If he doesn't have pre-exsisting health issues, yes, you are correct that would be a heck of a work out.

 

jump in the truck and go full out in the hammer lane, chase down a couple bull haulers and you’ll settle back into the normal speed and feel

 

mclane most definitely wipes ones over weight situ to the bone that is if one could survive all
perspectives as if from being healthy coming back in , take a hands on gig
lowboy equipment local or just say 1 or 2 states for a general contractor
Old Dominion Is a prime player , but line haul tears @ the soul with those dark shifts
Food Services generally shuck as they have a minimum you'd have to move in fresh & frozen per hr
Flatbed local is very interesting & can pay reasonable
Petroleum , as in gas & diesel pays well , & if you adapt quickly its a good cash pay ride
AS TO :
Common Carriers everlastingly refuse to pay as is their hidden venue for any real xrtra's that then draw from the life line blood of the driver
How'd think they could ever develop the cash cows ever ? Delays , traffic snarls , breakdowns , zero nothing ever here & its happening like a bizarre chitt show all over , weather is bizarre just by itself right now

ABSOLUTELY = work for the contractor or business itself , or a top flight LTL player , SAIA is another besides what I'd mentioned


NO CARRIERS they played it all up to within the last 2yrs , now they are in trouble as within how the old boys scammed the day
times say they should all go down , replaced with living HRLY wages , paid for any & all your in the truck time period

GOOD LUCK

 

I got lost in the lack of punctuation.

 

Yeah, but some of us love the dark shifts, running night time pulling reefers coast to coast. Not everyone wants the easy way out. If I had to run local or regional, I'd jump off a cliff.
