India the wage is 2 Bucks a day. They send a 100/month back to the family they are golden.

The problem is, as a mass of people they cut rates. For them its fine for a little while maybe even a few years, becuase yes they work HARD. But when their engine blows or their trany drops they are out of business. But a new set of drivers just like them come along buy a truck with out thinking and the whole thing starts over again. As a shipper I guess I wouldn't even care either.

Some of them come over here temporarily and drive someone else's equipment. They get paid on a 1099 and pay zero in taxes. They run nonstop and bank $1,500-$2,000 a week like that basically as company drivers. I have on good authority this is what eastern Euros do around Chicago. Some of them come to the states for the holiday boom and work like that get paid all cash, no taxes, go home and live the good life til next year and do it again.
misterG, chopper103in and tonycr Thank this.
