Pay for truck operators has failed to keep up with inflation since 1980, effectively slashing truckers’ wages by nearly a third, according to analyst Gordon Klemp, president of the National Transportation Institute.
Klemp, who spoke Feb. 26 on a conference call with investors and reporters, said truckers wages averaged $38,618 annually in 1980. If adjusted to 2015 dollars, that would be over $111,000 a year, Klemp said.
Trucker pay has plummeted in the last 30 years, analyst says

I just left Marten because their crap maintenance. Like putting worn out drums back on to save a few bucks, but the brake shoes only grab the out side edge of the worn drum making the truck pull to one side. And putting the springs in wrong so they drag on the hub and cut into it. I did average .48 to .50 a mile so the pay is good if you live to spend it. -
The op is a troll ...nothing less..

Upinsmoke Thanks this.

Sounds like someone needs to buy a truck and be their own boss. That will be way easier than dealing with companies and then he can pay himself $1 per mile for driving if he wants to.

Upinsmoke Thanks this.

I’m starting the #truckertoo movement so we can put a stop to all these grievances.
We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore! -
