Companies are completely out of touch with reality for most drivers.
No raises for years and years and when the raises do come they amount to 1% per year and the middle and upper management are very proud of that fortune they blessed us with.
Meanwhile, more inexperienced drivers are put on the road, with less training, cheaper equipment, less PM’s are being done by less experienced mechanics and worsing attitude and lower morale than ever.
Oh and you spend all your time at work because groceries are $105 minimum a week.
Gee, why wouldn’t you want in this business???x1Heavy Thanks this. -

Here’s lesson number two: The low paying trucking jobs are not there so you can buy a big house and fancy cars. They are there to give you experience and valuable skill. They are apprenticeship with pay. Once you get that move on.
If you learn lesson one and two then maybe at the age of 55 you can be living in a nice house and drive a nice car and pay for your kids college. If you keep your nose clean.SixShooterTransport, Gearjammin' Penguin, bryan21384 and 1 other person Thank this.
