Looking for anything right now temporarily

Its kinda just facts, most of us aren't given proper compensation, im not asking for some wild amount of money, I work hard and have 0 to show for it and you act like im entitled? I'll take being homeless over working a dead end job, done it before I'll do it again ive been homeless 4 times in my life and I'll gladly make it 5 and im not even 30 yet

End of the day companies don't care about you nomatter how long you've worked for them, its about how much I can get for myself and in this economy you need to do whatever you have to to get the extra money, you need to demand it, most of the drivers here have an awful "it is what it is" mentality and like that you work for 30+ years before you ever make anything real in life, which isn't what im looking for whatsoever, im trying to work and get a house, SUV and a semi truck in 5 years or less, that's about realm of $600,000 on the low end

If i continted with the mentality everyone says I should have id continue to rake in $500-$800 a week and work like that for the next 30+ years have nothing to show for it and say that's living a good life the advice im getting sound like its coming from people who have never had more than $100 spare cash in their pocket in their pocket and are happy playing with sticks and stones living in a tent or the homeless shelter for their whole life

The entire point is profit not just working hard for nothing if you just work that garbage job and dont expect proper compensation, then i got a job for you as my doormat i can offer

Im here for profit, im here to work hard if im compensated properly, i could likely rake in more miles than anyone here if my dispatch, planning or operations departments weren't fully incompetent because ive already shown i can pull 3000-3600miles a week on dedicated accounts away from the east coast city garbage or even just running miles west of I75 OTR

I know what im capable of, I know i work hard and what im paid fully determines how seriously im willing to take a job because im in no way motivated to haul freight at 50cpm or less and they clearly have no intrest in driver retention especially with no benefits, no vacation or PTO, God awful time off policies, companies refusing to do 401k match and on top of all of it they wanna stare at you all day over a camera and try to fire you if you brake hard or change the radio station once

if youre a good boy and truly kiss your carriers ### you get a massive 1cpm raise a year up to a maximum cap of likely 55 to 58 after several years

Like the old saying goes you get what you pay for

I might take a 55cpm job seriously but anything less than that id just laugh because anyone who thinks that's good work is more delusional than that company expecting good drivers to come, theres a reason these companies have turnover rates as high as they do. Can you guess why?

Its because most of the sub par carriers have already factored into their buissiness model that they dont care about you

So no id rather not work for free the rest of my life I have 0 commitments, no money obligations and next to no debt, no wife or kids to deal with, no rent, no car payment plus I have the full willingness to be homeless than waste time working for free and 50cpm isnt even enough for me to live off of save enough to reach any goal with as much as it costs just to eat on the road

Only reason I'll take a 50cpm job is a temp while im hiring on somewhere else making phonecalls every day looking to leave

And I definitely wouldn't wanna have a camera on me at those low pay jobs because im making phone calls to recruiters all day just so I can quit

Ive struggled enough and fact is i dont care enough to waste time at something dead end just to "push forward" if I cant make at least 80k a year at a trucking job doing a truly average job i believe it will never be a long term position, if im working hard I should be making 100k especially considering i dont take home time im in the truck at least 48-50 weeks a year

Its also a pretty laughable thing that this industry demands "time with company" given how volatile the freight market is, you go where the money is and how poorly most carriers treat drivers they expect people to stay and deal with it? HA that's funny if I get 3-4 weeks in a row sub $1000 after taxes im out

 

I have the ability to say pay what im worth or I'll hard pass, I have no financial obligations and I dont care if im homeless
