Port of Oakland drivers endure long waits, low pay

Here's a tip...kick the son's butt for being retarded enough to buy a large screen HD TV instead of putting money down for a bigger place. Another tip is to move out of California! Their cost of living is at least 2-3x higher than most other states.

 

I don't know what this guys complaining about.

The Mexicans haul it for $400 a week, and live 15 to a house/apartment.

Unless it's the fact that they (the Mexicans) all have a job.

 

But then we are back to letting the Mexican trucks do the work because no one in this country would take the job because it pays so little. The real issue is that Companies (an owner operator is a company) are contracting with the ports at a rate that is not equitable. The drivers of these companys need to stop thinking like pay per mile/load drives and start thinking like owners of buisnesses. If they are on a "Port only" contract then they should break that contract and find their own freight. If their is no one to haul the frieght the lines go away, if the lines go away then the 15 hours of weighting goes away. If the lines go away the port might pay more per load for deliverys to attract more drivers. So maby the thing to do is limit the number of contractor trucks the port can do buisness with.

 

one son 21 the other 22 ? one has a job but buys stuff they don't need and the other lays on the couch all day watching it. kick them out, there adults and then he would have some money. i have no pity for him. he has options to better himself. and if he doesn't like it then he can go back to where he came from.

 

Both of the older boy should be working, and atleast attempt to move out on their own.

 

They can't find any obedient women to marry LMAO.

Can you imagine the problems they are having when they try to pick up an American woman...let alone one from California??

I can see it now. Will you marry me?....You MUST keep your face and body covered in public LMAO

 

Kind of funny people move here and whine about not being able to live the Hollywood life.
