This looks like recruiter BS, am I right?

Try again bud. Retired UPS driver...plenty of others make the money too. 60 hours a week, never owned a truck.....home ever night.

 

You made me want to rewatch it. Been almost if not 10 years

 

Lol everywhere except OTR jobs, but you are right. Many want the easy way out. Even after making bad decisions nobody wants to so the rehab process of working for less than stellar companies. Lots of people make good money in LTL. I know UPS is paying.....I saw one drivers check stub once. His take home was in the ballpark of almost 2300 that week, so it definitely can be done. You know something, when you factor in the cost of benefits that company shells out, on top of what they pay a driver, it really isnt all that bad...they pay for a large portion of the insurance and that's a whole lot of money

 

It should be illegal to use puffery like this to lure in job hunters. I generally despise any regulation the government hands down but I'd support a ban on these type of predatory ads that so many companies use.

 

Meh,whatever you say.
A retired driver spending his days on an internet forum telling everyone how much money he made. Nothing better to do I guess.

These boards are full of recruiters and safety departments who spew out numbers that just don't exist.

Large carriers rely on turnover to keep wages low. If they can suck in drivers while promising big money then it's a win for them either way......even though those wages don't exist.

If the money existed out here that some drivers are boasting about,why is there a so called driver shortage?
If there are companies paying peanuts how are other companies able to remain in business while paying these lofty wages without seeing rate cuts?

Again. Most guys on here are simply lying about how good wages are and new drivers eat up those empty promises.

 

Except for the fact that I went back to work after two years of being a degenerate fishing all day lol. So not just sitting spewing numbers....kinda funny how other people have chimed in and seen other people's paychecks too isn't it? Definitely not a recruiter because I wouldn't be on here trying to get people like you who hate life to fund my pension now would I? Do some research there bud. Plenty of over 100k a year jobs out there. McLane, UPS, I heard some fxf teams are doing it, old Dominion, abf, Sysco, us foods.

 

This is exactly why there are so many #### jobs out there. Instead of putting time in, doing research, and getting good work everyone just wants to take the get rich tomorrow because of a driver shortage Craigslist ad.... ####ing sad.....but if you are too lazy to look for a job and build yourself up to where you can get it I guess you deserve to be living in a metal fart coffin for pennies.

 

That great ole saying said by many employers

“You get what you pay for”

 

Great. Good for you.

 

Food service work pays really well for relatively little, you just need a good spine to do it.

When I was dedicated to MBM/Darden of Aberdeen, I worked 4 Red Lobster Deliveries in the NE each weekend for almost a thousand net. The rest of the week belonged to me. And since it was home, it worked out all around.

One time hiring on to a pizza dough service company delivering into DC and others, I was rejected because I was too small at 6 foot and around 150, I was in a room with about 50+ 250's and on up 6 and half feet were common. Just like you do not put a litter puppy into a dogsled team. its not a good fit.

The manager made a hiring decision not to hire me, however that kind of work related to trucking and lumping was all I did until them. No biggie I was over it in a hurry anyway. Just need a few years to season and gain weight.
