Demand for non-trucking CDL drivers?

Is this a question?

 

There is no shortage. NOT by any means. Capacity is going up and rates may go down. Companies are scrambling to keep drivers from moving but they seem to fill the seats with the added capacity.

 

Yep they do qith fake promisses... better pay better drivers

 

If it is a question I will ask my wife she has the answer for everything.

 

My last job was a 45/45/10% split of driving, labor, and trying hard not to blow yourself up. It was hauling, and working with explosives for blasting. It paid less than a strait driving job with a whole lot more work involved. I much prefer throwing some straps, and tarping compared to blowing up dirt.

 

There isn’t a shortage of crane operators here. I tried to get into that. Too hard with no experience at the moment. I’m talking big crane trucks that build buildings not a little boom truck that drops off shingles and ply wood.

I know a hydro vac place hiring and some ready mix jobs.

I drive a ready mix truck. I worked 10 hours today and drove 20 miles. Not so bad.

 

About half the operators in my plant have a class A license. They are required to maintain it.
Also, guys with class A are paid higher than the ones that don’t.
