    CHEAP freight + CHEAP PAY = Driver's who wont work for long hours away from their families for dirt #### pay. Older driver's retiring and new CDL drivers who determine... it just is NOT worth it all. PERIOD.

    You bet you *** those at the top of the food chain are NOT suffering and getting grossly HUGE salaries and benefits.

    Anyone know where to find trucking company CEO salaries ?

    With the somewhat recent rise in housing costs in the area, that wage isn't that bad, but it isn't that great anymore.

    Just remember, as long as it is believed to be true, Uncle Sugar will keep subsidizing the schools the megas run.
    No conflict of interest there.

    Public companies, those trading on various stock exchanges, must publish figures on compensation as well as other expenses. You may have to wade through something the size of a phonebook (ask your grandfather) to find out.

    So hang on a minute while I do some quick math.

    X multiplied by 3 equals 0
    X= The driver shortage.
    Yup the math works...no driver shortage.
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
