Hell yeah, people have had enough of the only paid while loaded or paid per load crap.
I’ve yet to work a Sunday which is double time but about 1/3 of my paycheck is ot every week.

Put in for Groendyke in ABQ and a KAG position up in Denver. But no replies back or I'm just hitting their god-awful, voice-mail(that recording kills brain cells). Was even going to hit up the Pilot again in Santa Rosa(NM) for that fuel position. All in all, looks like moving's going to be inevitable with the lack of other carriers in the area. Plenty of mediocre paying ag related work and that's it.Fold_Moiler Thanks this. -
Fold_Moiler and dwells40 Thank this.

The rates in fuel suck now. I know it’s been said before on here but LTL or Cryo is the best living as a company driver. I brought home 1700-1900 a week hauling asphalt oil but I was working nights and doing 15-16 hours a day. #### that. I’d still choose cryo over ltl though. With all of these gashaulers here, your a gold mine on the “clean” tanker side. Go for it.

Screw working 16 hours a day. That’s why I got into dump trucks and operating. I take home a consistent 1200-1600 a week and can sleep and enjoy life.
if anyone is looking for teamster outfits in mn pioneer tank lines and Hawkins are good from what I hear.Air Cooled Thanks this. -

Hell yeah, plus you get good insurance for your family.
I could make more money elsewhere, not per hour but I could work 80 hours a week all summer and make 100k but I don’t even care, it’s not worth working your family away.
I’ve worked 5 saturdays all summer, I used to work m-s. It’s time and a half but idc. More to life than work.Air Cooled Thanks this. -
You can generally only finance 120% of the value of the vehicle.
So if you have 10k in negative equity, you would have to spend at least $42k on a new car in order to roll that negative equity into a new loan.
And a lot of these toxic auto loans are packaged into securities just like mortgage CDOs were. I feel like we've been down this road before... -
