Forget the Teamsters. There are plenty of good paying jobs to use as a baseline that have nothing to do with the Teamsters. Or any other union. I think it's very fair to compare ltl or local to otr. Its about the money on your check plus decent benefits. After all as a business owner you should be getting those same benefits, the only difference is you write the check for them.

Staying put in a dead end no opportunity location is a deliberate choice to have no opportunities to thrive. -
Been thinking about it. Easier said than done though.

Common problems I see in the l/p game are
Lack of work ethic, if you are not successful at a company job more than likely you will not be at a l/p
Not having a plan. Its not as easy as picking a truck and hitting the road. You need to have goals and a timeframe to achieve said goals.
Not being willing to self educate. If you cant teach yourself via tools that are openly available then you will not make it in a l/p or as an o/o for that matter
Lack of efficiency. They go get the newest kw with a big ars condo sleeper, have it set on 500+hp and run around at 70mph. Nevermind the fact that they are shelling out $2500+ in truck payments a month and getting 4mpg.
I understand that companies are in it to profit.....if you own a company and your not in it for profit you fail, simple as that. The key is to as a driver, o/o, l/p guy/girl is to attempt to maintain a good workable business relationship with said company. If that cant happen then it will not work and trust me be it a mega, a small fleet, or shippers/recievers you can 98% of the time manage a mutual respect and good business relationship. Just gotta play the game rightLonesome Thanks this. -
