I've been researching alot. From all I see. Pay is going up. Also rumors there will be fighting over drivers. So pay goes up more.
This is just the best I can see in the future.... next ten years.G13Tomcat, Steel Dragon and diesel drinker Thank this. -
I notice a few companies starting out with at least .50-60 cpm and huge sign bonuses too. In my opinion, they should ve been paying .50cpm plus over 10 years ago

Steel Dragon and bigkev1115 Thank this.

I'm all for meaningful higher wages but these are often just a re-jiggering of benefits or employment expectations or sliding pay scale. So be careful before jumping ship.

Steel Dragon and Mattflat362 Thank this. -
this is great news for people looking to get into the industry!
Steel Dragon Thanks this. -
Better question is why driver pay isn't scaled more towards quality of the individual driver within said company. Example Bob and Dave both have been driving 15+ years Bob has had no major violations, accident or tickets. Dave has speed tickets every other year, multiple HOS violation, and claims he hits those elusive yellow deer all the time.
Burns me up that Bob and Dave still are paid exactly the same. Where else but truckinghaz-matguru, Western flyer, Steel Dragon and 2 others Thank this. -
If you ask me freight seems slow.
I see another loser holiday season.
Nobody is working.
Nobody is spending.
The only store that ever seems crowded is Walmart. -
They pay more, because of ELD, since people won't be able to run as many miles anymore.
Dan.S and Steel Dragon Thank this. -
Slight increase in rates with automotive freight in Michigan, pretty much is covering the fuel price increase. Still slow.
Steel Dragon Thanks this.
