    "YOU TRUCKERS".,
    Too bad you truck drivers don't even know how much more important you are to trucking companies! You fail to realize how seriously desperate they really need you to drive their trucks, to make them a fortune! You get paid (below) minimum wage, and you never even thought about it!

    You risk your life for them, every frigging day, 7 days a week, and for several weeks back to back, at a time! Sometimes you stay out for months at a time. You spend a great deal of your (life span) out their over the road, and you think you're getting your worth, but you're not even close!

    Considering all the time that you're putting in, out there on the road, you're getting way below minimum wage, when you break it down, and simply do the math! Plus, you definitely don't get ( No Overtime) like you get on a real regular job!

    (All) of these trucking companies are making a fortune, which is why many are able to buy out other trucking companies, because of the large amounts of money they are making from the truck drivers.

    Yet, they, the trucking companies , have the audacity to treat you like they are doing you the big favor, and making you "believe" that you need them, when they couldn't even function without "YOU!!!" Why else do you see that the whole trucking industry has by far the "biggest turnover" ratio compared to every other type of industry! Hardly no one wants to do it! You can't have a real life as a trucker, and also many truckers lost their wife, and/or families because they are out too long.

    Most of the people who does it, actually think they can't do no better, or, they are desperate thinking that it's a privilege to drive like a "frigging slave" for a greedy trucking company! Many trucking companies think anyone who wants to be a trucker is either dumb or stupid, so they try to capitalize on it as much to their advantage as they possibly can!

    Just remember, you got options! Regardless of your seemingly desperate situation. You still got options, and you don't need to take the crap that you get from many of these shady no-good terrible trucking companies! If more, and more, truck drivers start waking up, and standing firm, then the ( whole trucking industry ) will definitely change! And the truck drivers would actually, and finally, benefit like they should have been doing from long ago...

    PS ,
    Obviously, there will be some idiots that will actually be offended by these facts! But like they say, if the shoe fits, wear it, and if the truth hurts, then wake the hell up and deal with it....hahahaa... lol

    There is no business dynamic that stays as lop-sided as you suggest for any length of time. Have you looked at how many trucking companies big and small have gone out of business in the last year? They didn't do that because they were making too much money.

    I'd like to see more money as anyone would. The whole notion that trucking pays minimum wage is stupid to me. I've made more money in trucking than in any other line of work. Drivers come and go man. You're not going to have a normal life being a trucker. It's the way it is. What do you want to see realistically done? These companies aren't about to kiss drivers' rear ends. They just want their loads moved. Fine. I just need a job and paycheck. I need them too.
