Grr.

Leave them Yankees alone. We don't need anymore of
Them moving south and ruining are easy living.

 

There's 50 times more jobs in the south that pay less
Than 18 bucks an hour for a truck driver.
Unless you live in a big city your not getting that.
There's local guys in Dallas working for less.
I don't know what planet your on,look at the going
Hourly rate for a truck driver almost anywhere.
You'll be surprised how little most local guys make.

 

Local guys here make about what the op said with that tanker outfit.Some even less then that But they all pay extra for loading/unloading tanker.Here unless it's FedEx or UPS you won't make above a normal wage for trk drivers.Then there's construction driving sidedumps,here depending on exp they start at $13.00 on up to $20.00 an hr.

 

Wow. Color me informed. That kinda cash is so far off my radar that I wasn't even aware of it.

 

I could scrape by on $700 a week in Florida but Boston? No way. I'd stay with Werner, a grand a week for three loads is good money. There are local jobs in Chicago paying $20+ an hour some even have overtime after forty of fifty hours. That's easy dry van work too.

 

Fine whatever. You have a point. Happy?

You could put that in a less confrontational manner you know.

 

Don't take it personal Heavy, nobody knows each other well enough to make attacks personal. Just roll with his attack and move on. Call him a ###### or whatever since he's jumbo. Haha but remember, name calling is not tolerated on TTR.

 

I don't take it personal. And there is no name calling going on or will.

My flaw if anything besides women is I love to fight. And sometimes that has gotten me black and blue for a few weeks at a time. I know the internet is a very poor... social situation but I work hard to let things be. IF it is one thing I learned in Facebook, you can piss off a million Muslims inside the USA as a Patriot making truth statements but you never have enough hours in a day wrestling with them all.
