    I am new to the industry and want to get a better idea of what to expect. Could you elaborate on a few of the largest problems that you face?

    Here you go.....

    http://www.comcar.com/main.cfm?pagename=opportunities


    Pay special attention to the "Payscale" section....They say, and I quote-

    "
    First-year drivers can make as much as $30,000, depending upon which affiliate you work for and the type of freight hauled.


    As much as $30,000??!?!?

    That's waaaaay less than a burger flipper can make, IMO. And they don't have to live in a closet and pee in bottles (well, at least most don't.......);):D

    I bet "burger flippers" would LOVE to make $14.42 per hour, for a 40 hour week, and a 52 week year.

    But yes, that is total garbage pay for truck driving---ESPECIALLY because you know for a fact that your weeks will be over 40 hours, and that estimated hourly rate of $14.42 will only DROP.
     
    NavigatorWife Thanks this.

    Their, there, they're. Quit butchering the English language. <- see what I did there? I ended the sentence with a period.

    It kills me I work along side others that can't write or read. These companies really need to have higher standards.
