Canadian LTL rant !

Been doing it for 22 years. If your having a hard time, go find an easier job. Which will pay less.

 

If you can't do it, find something else to do instead of demanding the rest of us stop doing what works for us. I make a #### good living doing LTL.

 

I feel as though I'm getting jipped on this percentage (%) pay nonsense where they never show the o/o their rate on the settlements. Looking for a paid by mile and P&D rate. Too much scammers in Canada.

 

LTL flat deck is where I make the most money. Love it. I can easily hit 8-10 home hardwares/rona from sudbury to the soo in 1 day and make $350.

 

Your drop pay is kinda low . That’s 450 to 500$ Minimum

 

Huh?

Show me any trucker that makes $500 a day lol.

 

$500 a day for a Driver alone is great. Not for a Owner Operator though I would say $1500/day minimum for an Owner Operator without a fuel cap.

 

No company driver is making $500 a day, even in the oil fields.

 

Really? Because a quick search on Indeed is showing oilfield driver pay anywhere from the high 30s to low 50s an hour and a vac outfit posting pay of $500/day.

 

Actually that's not true. Some of the Major courier linehaul drivers (UPS etc.) who work their full 70 hrs ($544. 50/day) earning $33/hr = $2722 50 (before taxes). Yes, I use to work with some who literally had top seniority signing the list earning $128,000 plus annually.
