    OK . People have to know if they're on this site that most of these companies are horrible, Yet they continue to sign up for the abuse, Switch pay at orientation when your already there. Paying 38 cents a mile or worse for a tanker / Hazmat And that alone is beyond wonder who would take a job like that as we were making that in the eighties. Front facing cameras, being teamed up so they can really hose you!. There was one guy who was being paid 12 cpm and on and on. Don't know maybe when this crop of drivers are washed out or just finally wake up you can make more in fast food that things can change. We have drivers making 30 hour running end dump and home everyday. And when somebody writes it's a lifestyle is just mental. Once again maybe this can help someone. Get your manual endorsement as auto restriction is a mega company scam. Get your hazmat / tanker. Don't run like a moron keep your license as clean as you can. Lots of companies will train you for what they need. Good luck

    Why is “Fast Food” always the default alternative when someone fails at trucking ? Seriously.

    That's usually what they failed at to become truck drivers

    Back when I was a CDL instructor, I had a student that used to talk about his previous job like it was a wonderful career full of unicorns and rainbows.

    Yes sir, he was talking about his "career" as a Dominos delivery driver.....

    I vote we stand up and shout "WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!". And, then go about making our on time deliveries.

    Oh wait, we already do that.
