as for the sand,gravel,cement industry in south florida.... still screwed.. no work and bad pay for whats there.

all was well in the boom times 4 years ago.. grossing 3-5k a week local, home every night not bad.

i still remember the big quarry's in us-27(okechoobe) 3 years ago the lines of dump trucks never ended... now its like 5-6 trucks in them and its hard to find a loader.

 

May Trucking is getting desperate !!!!!

with their pay to idle program they should be desperate

 

2000 or more drivers looking for work in that market (jax),

and they have to try to bribe them with a bonus...............

WTF.........

 

You idle your truck,

they charge you by the hour.............

 

Wow. Is that a common practice now, or are they the only #######es to try this?

 

They might be the only ones now charging drivers to idle but I bet they won't be the only ones by this time next year. If you live north of Tampa and you have experience and a clean driving record then do yourself a favor and check out Poly Trucking out of Grand Prairie Texas, they pay by the hub @ .45cpm to start because all drivers make the same pay there. I don't work there because they wouldn't hire me since I live 80 miles south of I-4 but I'd almost consider moving north a little if I needed a new job. I have a good friend that works for them and he has nothing but good things to say, check'em out and good luck.
