Is it just me or Is this just a coincidence?

Trump did give a tax deduction of 21% to the rich of the richest in hopes they would use that extra money for raises and bonuses to their employees so that maybe what's happening with all the pay increases.most the drivers in todays trucking are new so the elog mandate is not going to make them quit.It'll be for some other reason.

 

No, just you.........

 

Pay is relative..high mileage pay with crappy dispatch is bs.
Jump around till you find a smaller company thats run well.
It took me 5 companies before finding one that runs like a clock.
My days are now stress free.

 

I agree,companies sure like to glamour up their ads and anyone who's been driving awhile can see right thru them.

 

No, pay rates are rising all over, albeit slowly. Most companies have "normal and standard longevity pay increases" to deal with existing drivers, but right now, the larger outfits are in a "bidding war" trying to attract new entrants to sign on with them rather than their competitor.

If you've gone above and beyond, made yourself a valued driver they can count on, and have numerous "gold stars" next to your name, there's a good chance they will increase your pay on the spot if you put in a notice to leave. It may only be a penny or two, but it may be worthwhile, depending on the situation you're in. But note, at larger outfits, they may not give a dam if one threatens to leave .... that helps to keep their average driver payroll down. Some care more about keeping the payroll as low as possible rather than retaining good drivers that want more pay as seniority increases. So, it all depends.

 

and which company might that be? (I'm still looking in case you were wondering)

 

Dht

 

All the above I believe.
