<p>[QUOTE="Lepton1, post: 3243311, member: 101602"]Landstar8891, I understand your points. While Wal-Mart drivers may be paid for sleeping in their truck, I'm not sure I consider this payable time in comparison to the proverbial "burger flipper" job. Your comparison of the assistant manager of a Wendy's making $41K a year is at a lower end of the scale for an entry level trucker. Does your nephew have the opportunity to increase his income to over $60,000 in his industry? Perhaps if he made "manager". Even so, in the trucking industry it is pretty well understood that the first two to three years are underpaid, until you can establish your driving record and sign on with a lease or owner/operator situation that results in bigger paydays. Same thing in any industry, including burger flipping. I'm sure your nephew paid his dues on the line, making minimum wage or barely above that, and worked for a period of time to get to that $41,000 salary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
