The Driver Shortage is a huge lie.

Bouncing down the road for 11 hours a day is like dropping a ball of play dough on the table over and over again. There's going to be some 'reshaping'. Unless you wear a corset. Or do regular physical preventative maintenance on yourself.

 

Contract season for brokers. They will cut each others throats to bid on lanes at our expense. They cut rates pad the pockets of shippers . Meanwhile they tell us its the shippers fault. Imo its a game they play. If shippers controlled rates we all be out of business.

 

In my opinion people only work for these wages 45-50k a year as a company OTR driver out of pure necessity I for instance have big bills coming due but after they are paid off I am leaving the OTR side. It would be extremely difficult to justify making a long term career out of OTR with the wages co’s are willing to pay these days. The sacrifice is too great.
