Bad companies / and their money!

I see here on this Forum,, people talking about certain Bad Companies and other people will claim, that this Same company is Good!

So How does one determine this?

I believe the conclusion to all this , is finding out , What exactly are these Companies , Paying!

Lets Talk About Money Here !

 

Hi PharmPhail! That's a Good Question. Right Now Company Drivers are making out better than Owner Operators Leased Onto Trucking Companies.

To Answer Your Question? NO. We're too use to our Freedom.. We still have Our Authority, and will be ReActivating it again. We will start back from Square One like we did Many years ago. And just build it from there.
There are Many Companies waiting and needing their own products to be shipped. It's very easy to find a Shipper to haul their products. If you have the knack of "Selling Yourself".

I believe this is the way to go, for Any Owner Operator. It's not easy getting started , but once you're on your feet , then it's smooth sailing.

How about You, Pharmphail? Did you get any equipment yet?

ps.., Just think! If the majority of owner operators had their own contract with shippers. , Then you wouldn't see all these loads on the load board or from brokers. Does that tell you something?

 

Do you really believe , Lonesome, that pay only plays in part of the factor?

Let me ask you this?

If Every company driver, got paid 900.00 dollars a week,, no matter what they have to put up with a company,, do you really believe they would be complaining about a company? I don't think home time has nothing to do with working for a certain company. It's how much they make.
.
But,
Lets say, two different drivers, working for the same company and both are making 300 dollars a week.
Now for one driver, that could mean,, for three hundred a week, that's not enough, considering not being able to have that home time.
That driver has much responsibilites behind his job. Like paying on a home, supporting his family and personal vehicles that he has.
And for 300 is it worth it? Is it worth all that time out on the road for 300 dollars?

Another drivers who makes the same amount of 300 a week, has no family, no mortgage to pay and can stay out on the road for as long as he minds it.
That driver, has no other responsibilites. Therefore he doesn't mind working for that company and doesn't complain about his pay. He's content right were he is.

Can you see the difference?

 

But it's not the freight thing. There's still plenty of freight to be found. Look at the load boards out there. It may have dropped some, but there are shippers still needing their products delivered.

Lets say, Its the Rates these Companies are paying a Driver.
It's all about What these Companies are paying the Company Drivers and Owner Operators.

If someone says, this Company is Bad.
My first question would be, How much are you getting paid?

From that point, I would determine if that company is considered a BAD company. If we were All getting paid what we should be, I don't see any reason for someone to complain about their Work Conditions.

Am I right or wrong?
