I would clarify what I mean - that $17/hour isn't enough money to drive a tractor trailer where I live. The cost of living is high and local driving isn't easy here.
In other areas, $17 might be a reasonable salary (or not), so no offense to anyone who makes a good living on that wage elsewhere. But here the other freight companies start at $22 - $25, which makes me think that something might not be right at YRC and ABF because they want you to start casual at a low salary. Freight is extremely busy here, they should have no problem getting good rates and turning enough profit to pay their drivers a competitive rate. If they're not making money, something is wrong with their management and administration.
I could be wrong, some YRC drivers should weigh in on this, but my theory is that they have their core of experienced drivers who have been with the company for a while and make the top rate, but to fill new positions they're trying to bring in a bunch of noobs who don't know how much they should be making. We had an illiterate YRC driver hit our dock a week ago who left 2 pallets of extremely expensive machinery that was supposed to go to another customer, even after we asked him to double check his pallet count and paper work. He insisted it was ours, even though it was tagged for another business in another city even (our dock guy went into the warehouse for something, and the driver pulled off the stuff and left it and took off). We had to call the YRC terminal more than once to get them to come pick it up. They're lucky we're not shady or that stuff would have "disappeared." I felt bad for the customer wondering where the heck his machinery was after he probably paid an arm and a leg for shipping.Sean_Reno Thanks this. -
