    Ok. Since you asked nicely. I'm sure she's a very professional driver..... Who is making a video while driving and not paying attention to anything else but her video.....

    I think an issue though is people who get into it and not knowing what to look for. I doubt many people search forums, glassdoor reviews, call companies, ask experienced drivers before even starting school like I have. I know everyone should do their due diligence, some may not even know where to look though. It was a trucker who told me about TTR for example.

    That's their own fault. I just can't stop laughing at the term predatory employers.

    I hope they don't capture me!!

    G. Anthony you are going to find yourself in the hallway. You better erase erase b4 the mod squad comes in kicking down doors. Not sure if she is that d word but she does seem to ride high on the self esteem horse.

    Also her video's don't get many views. So why does she continue to bore America!!

    You can make good money at a Mega IF, and its a big IF, you know what you are doing. They aren't going to just give it to you. If you are a door mat they youre going to get walked all over. Im just over 5k for the month and there is one paycheck left. And its January. I expect to land somewhere between 80 and 100k this year. I expect about the same pay in Feb and after that its off to the races.

    I haven't seen a check under $1,000 in 14 years. Yall would freak if I told you what I made last year.

    1) Be smart about who you drive for.

    2) DO NOT LEASE A TRUCK UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS OF TRUCKING!!!!!!

    3) Don't drive for outfits that pay by the mile. Hourly or load percentage is the only way to roll.

    This is the God's awful truth. Well put man. I've been a driver for just over a year now, so pardon my uneducated and newbie observation, but what this industry lacks is integrity. Unfortunately it will only get worse before it gets better.

    I typically don't boast about what I make, because then that just opens the door for haters. I'll just leave it at "You ain't gonna believe this"....... lol
