Best Paid Company Drivers

Blame all of the suckers willing to take short pay for increased risk.

 

I figured that was coming, turning $30 an hour jobs to $15 an hour jobs.

 

Actually, you should look at the newbs NOT coming into bulk.

Those companies are asking for the help. They can't get enough driver/truck combos to fill the need in the oil patch.

You can always do like one of my neighbors did last month. Sold all 4 of his trucks, bought a Pick up/Lay down machine. Went back to the Oklahoma patch.

As long as the oil field continues to expand/boom. You're going to see a huge rush to fill ANY job that pays what the employees thinks is a decent wage.

It happened in the late 70's and early 80's. It's gonna happen again.

Oh, and those orange trucks are making some pretty #### good money. When you compare it to what the other orange trucks are making. Tank or not.

Demand in the oil field has exceeded supply. Should we lay some of the drilling companies off, until the local guys catch up?

 

I dont remember what site it was on but they listed salaries for trukers in ky average the average was 54k van flat was 64k tnk was 50sm 1st yr driver 30 k otrheck if i would go otr i would lose money my first 2 yrs cant affford that.I hear over half drop out first yr.

 

Considering where you live I guess you don't have much of a choice... Central is just another "driver mill" turning out half trained rookies who work for cheap wages. Just my opinion....

 

When you start near the bottom,

things can only get better !!!!

 

That 28-29 cents per mile is really the bottom too! Yikes!
