What's a decent wage?

In Alberta everything is very expensive,from Housing to food
Travel Trailer or sharing small room by 2 guys and pay 1200 dollars each
Means something
Great turnover up there with workforce now China man is coming,living cheap and liitle pay

I was in Dubai and China worker was paid 200 per month

 

I know ,That's why I'm writing my posts here to find the answer

 

I pay 1200/month for a nice sized townhouse, family of 4. Our food bills are about 600/month but that includes formula.

Sounds like you have a personal problem. Go from 10k gross to 4k? Because of elogs? I find that hard to believe.

But anyways, you should stay in ON and let the people who want to prosper work in AB.

 

Young Buck, Some people have an adversity to prosperity.

 

At 40 cpm that's 25,000 miles per month.I call BS on that one.

 

From 10,000 a month to 4,800 miles only? I call BS. That's only 1,000 a week. At 20 MPH you can drive that in 50 hours. Don't you have a high gear in that truck???

 

Any of those people that can't fill the jobs willing to take the time and effort to train new drivers?

Problem as I see it from my limited experience trying to break into the industry as a driver is you have experienced drivers who won't take the lower paying jobs and new drivers who can't get the jobs because most companies want a minimum of 2 years experience.

There seems to be a disconnect in there somewhere.

 

Where the hell are you living to be paying 2400/month for rent????

 

The company is me fool...my driver after tax takes home around 5K a month. Since yer bein a d**k though Im not gonna tell ya who Im leased onto to be able to pay em that amount. I am an O/O with 2 trucks leased to a carrier pulling my own vans and my drivers stay busy and they are rewarded nicely for their work...
