Is it a bad time?

Have you been drinking the ATA'S koolaide??????

 

Musta been. Companies are enacting hiring freezes, Schneider has closed down all of their schools but the one in Green Bay and is concentrating on hiring experienced drivers, and miles are dropping. There are around 127,000 drivers that have been put onto the market because over 2,900 companies have closed their doors, but there is a BIG demand for truckers. Right.

Or as my late father-in-law use to say "Two positives don't make a negative. Yeah Right."

 

there is a big demand for truck drivers....not wanna beeees stearing wheel holders.

 

And I imagine when they come around with the koolaide again,..you'll ask for seconds......:smt030

 

Actually, there is a point there - real drivers as opposed to some of what classifies as a truck driver.

 

Don't fall for the statements and gossip, and articles about, "There is a demand for Truckers".

Cause there isn't one........

 

If the driver shortage is bunk why is u.s express, star, covenant c.r. england, werner, swift etc.etc,etc. hiring drivers all over the place who has been drinking what the jobs are there just fill out the apps. And driving schools have the contacts my 2nd week in driving school I had 10 diffrent job offers, why you ask???? BECAUSE THEY NEED DRIVERS DUH

 

i think it would be to just fill seats...

 

Exactly,......and the reason those companies keep hiring is because drivers quit as fast as they can hire them,...as soon as you think your gonna make any money with them they will cut your miles and starve you out so another newbe can take your seat.......

Freight is slow....and there is NO DRIVER SHORTAGE,.....steep away from the punch bowl...........would ya....
