    Ad, when he gets into an accident and he is sued, he can move in with you and you can stop worrying about his choices.

    well, best you worry about you, rather than to tell us stories you cannot back up with proof. if it was him telling us, i might be more inclined to believe him over you and your penchant to carry on and on.

    take care of you, let others take care of themselves, or here's an idea...rat out that company to the feds??

    then you had better have proof of what you say.

    You mean you don’t know exactly what you make?

    Okay, but what's the point of coming on TTR with third-hand information? If your relative wants out he can look for another job. If he's happy, mind your own business.
    In either case, you're not doing him any favor by blabbing about it.

    When you're paid piece meal the time differences will affect the calculations.

    Post the name of the company and location. That way everyone will know to stay away from said company.

    I make $200 for one set of farms, the following day I run a different set of farms on the 2nd trailer and make $150.

    If I get my $200 day done in 8-1/2 hours (yes I can do that if everything goes well) I devide $200/8.5, $24 per hour. I can get a little extra if I take one of my loads to oatk(local milk plant). However the average day is less per hour.

    I probably average 60 hours per week $1020 gross. Cloeset guess around $17-$18 per hour.

    Just put in your days work and go home.
    Stop worrying about what other drivers and companies
    Are doing.

    There's thousands of local trucking jobs that
    Don't give a dam about dot rules and regulations.
    They're doing whatever they have to do to stay
    In business.

    They choose to make 11 bucks an hour.
    That's the price they're paying for wanting to
    Be home every night.

    They could pack up their bags and hit the road
    For a couple of weeks at a time and make 3 times
    As much,but they don't want too.
    That's their choice.

    For some drivers that's all they can get.
    And believe it or not some of them love
    Those types of jobs.

    If any of the drivers in your little circle of
    Milk friends up there ever run across this forum
    They're gonna know exactly who you are.
    Your gonna have a problem.

    Your constantly ratting out drivers and companies
    Up there for one reason or another.
    They all know the risk involved.
    Your not gonna change anything.

    Do your job,stay out of everybody else's business,
    Go home with the wife and kids.
    Easy,peasy.
