My first week of route training, I worked 13 hour days every day. I'm being assured it won't be like that normally. Not that I mind the long hours, i did otr for 10 years. However, the hardest hours of my current days and I'm barely making minimum wage during that time? Not sure how cool I'm going to be with that. -
Company up my way cant fill the seat for a flat rate run($250 daily) because my employer and our competitors all running that same trip pay for all our time/drops/picks for a gross of $320 daily
No doubt they will fill the seat but not with a seasoned driverAModelCat Thanks this. -

What kills me is that this is actually the correct advice for the situation. Its not crappy employees that create a culture like this , its just a symptom of an industry that is rotten to the core because its not properly being guided by market forces.
Corruption can be smelled a mile away.loudtom Thanks this. -
The law (FLSA) that mandates minimum wage & overtime pay after 40 hours of work per week specifically expempts truck drivers and others in safety-sensitive areas are not covered by overtime pay requirements. -
