Have I Got NEWS For YOU ! BAD Companies

No One is talking about the government here dude. What, Who wants the Government involved? No one said Anything about the Government.
I was talking about starting wages for drivers are the same from 20 years ago. The economy is up, prices of everything is up but the drivers wages do not fit this economy for 2009. These Wages Are Coming from the Trucking Companies.

Rates back in the 70's were higher at. 1.25-1.50 a mile for an O/O. What are they today? .92-1.00 .a mile. The wages of a O/O has gone down. Even the percentage has gone down.
Company drivers are still the same, of an average .32 cents a mile. Thirty two cents a mile was paid, even 20 years ago too. And these wages are controlled by the trucking companies. Do they want to see You make more Money? Nay., I should say not, except for their own pockets.

So you're in a good positon? Good for you ! You haven't even mentioned what you're pulling, or what your'e bringing home a week. You're one of the fortunate ones. Hope it lasts for you. But you can't be making that much money from what the shipper is paying , then going through several hands before it gets to you! That's there is common sense.,MO! UNLESS, The company you're signed on with,, Has Their OWN PRODUCT. That's the way to Go for ALL Drivers!

Back in the summer when Container work was booming, we were pulling in , (take Home) at least $2,000 a week. This was a Small Company that had their Own Contract with the Shiplines. NO OTHER HANDS INVOLVED>And This Was Local Work!

You can't make that through third party companies. No Way, not when it goes through , several hands first. Somehow, maybe You, as you claim??
Sure, But, not for the Majority of Companies and Drivers. If That was True, then the Whole economy would be booming for the Drivers. And it's All coming from these Sleazy Third Party Transportation LOGISTIC Companies.!
You Quote:

Right MO! You Proved it Right there! Who's really racking in the money? Thank You ! So Many Drivers Can't Even Make Ends meet! Many Drivers are Losing their shirts and their Homes! Let's Get REAL here!
Who are the Holders? Are They also buying some Oil Fields too? Who's Really Making the Money?

And if you claim you're doing So well, (what are you pulling boats?) why don't you post who you're working for and what you're making? So other Drivers here can look into it.? You claim? You Prove.

Lets Talk about Money here!
That's one thing here on this forum you never hear., talked about.

 

I believe most drivers are not aware of Line Hauls and what is really going on behind the scenes.

And thinking that they are working strictly for only the company that they are on with.?? Ha! If they questioned the Trucking Company would they get an Honest Answer?
Lets, start with the drivers pay,, oh but there's also a cut for the broker, and then a cut for the agent who uses these brokers. Lets not forget the cut going to the Trucking Company that these agents are working for.

And finally, the Trucking Company who runs under their Third party Logistic Company.



This is why the Rates are So Low for the Drivers. Everyone's got to first dip their fingers in the pot.

OH, By the WAY,, Sygma is a Speciality Company who is good to work for. As long as one enjoys unloading food products and multiple stops. There's good money there. They are different, from these regular Trucking Companies who hauls general freight.
