“The brokers make too much”

Because of this I checked relay to see rates, nothings new.


600 miles, 1 day 10 hours trip time.

6 stops

1.85 per mile.

still the same crap.


What amazon is going to do is fill in the gaps of their current trip planning by making these guys work even more work. Basically the down time these truckers have waiting for trailers to be loaded for Amazon they will do other loads.


Amazon drivers usually do 200-300 miles each way before shutting down for 10 hours to take load back to where you came from.


In other words,

8 am pick up drive till 3 pm, 10 hour reset and pick up load at 1 or 2 AM and go back. How does one sleep when they just woke up?


After a few days of switching sleep schedules to keep up with amazons schedule you’ll realize it’s not worth it.

 

While I agree with the sentiment, I hope not. I like being able to ask for more money...

 

Any one is able to ASK for more money .

 

You can also turn the load down if it doesn't pay what you need.

 

I take responsibility. I pay my taxes , I live life frugal, I don have debts , I don’t get and never did get food stamps nor direct help from the government.
Why , every time the banks or big corporations fail, the gov uses your money and my money to bail them out .?
Why capitalism is so good for the rich and use socialism every time they screw it up as a way to help themselves ?
I’m no arguing here, I’m asking question , because I think I’m really stupid that I don’t get it .

 

Yes! You are right .

 

How will regulating how much I make, which is the ultimate goal of the protesters, make any difference in those unrelated issues?
