My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Not anymore, i started with them but left a few months ago.

 

Whaddya, nuts? Why the hell would you put up with that? You ought to put your foot down and insist that you'll accept absolutely nothing more than $400/wk. Furthermore, you should explain that if they think you're going to go home every day, they're kidding themselves--you want to sleep in a box in a truckstop parking lot or there'll be hell to pay!!

And tell them to take that accessorial pay and stick it where the sun don't shine. Your goal should be to work 100 hours per week, log 70 and get paid for 40, if that. Otherwise, you're just a whiner, a pussius maximus, and not in any way a Real Trucker. Stop working at a real job and learn to suck it up!!

 

Is that pay pre/post taxes?

 

That's it? I wouldn't be working all nights for that...Thought all of you LTL drivers made 100k a year?

 

I was just busting your balls.

 

How goes it Grasshopper? Are you getting bored yet?
