    There will always be job openings because there will always be drivers quitting . All the carriers are reducing their fleets . Werner is reducing their fleet by 400 tractors . J.B. Hunt is running 900 less tractors than they were this time last year . Those facts came from an article on carriers' first quarter reports in the May 15-31 issue of "The Trucker ". Are there jobs ? Yes but 10 times as many applicants as there are openings . But how do the jobs pay ? How about running less than 1500 miles a week for $.24 a mile .
