What are these "funds" you're talking about?

You know I was TRYING to help you but since you can't be serious do your OWN research.

 

Can a moderator please delete this topic. It's a pile of bs by Tip. Not even a fake website to back it up.

 

Let's try and provide information about the Trucking Industry without causing more issues!

 

You don't have to fire students. Nor do you have to fire "trainees". Neither are considered an employee of "any" company. They haven't passed a final road test.

Additionaly, students get their own truck, many convinced to do the lease route. They are then listed as contract labor, and not entitled to unemployment benefits. Their services may be terminated at any time.

As a student/trainee, they ride with a "trainer" increasing the number of miles the truck averages per month. The company profits.

As a lease op, they bear the burden of payments. The company actually makes a profit. It's built into the payment.

It's win-win for the companies regardless.

 

Boy talk about crying.
Here's what the link says-"what are these funds you're talking about"
In the forum for Report a bad trucking company. Has one trucking company been named?
I'd be happy to contribute to this topic, but it's clearly in the wrong section-seeing as how this is politics.

Here's my contribution. Here are the facts I know.

-WIA will pay a trucking school for training.It's federal money, Im assuming since independent trucking schools and colleges can get the money, then so can companies.
-Generally, unemployed workers give the company a tax credit-1200+/per worker, but I believe they have to be on payroll for 3 months.
-People who get in those "free training" contracts are give 20% interest rates. And of course they have a chance at making more money if people run a few thousand miles, before canning them, then they could make a nice profit.
-52/day. [irs.gov]Thats the minimum daily deduction allowed for truckers who travel outside of their county. You can live it up, sleeping in hotels, eating Red Lobster, which means it's a legitimate expense as long as you're hauling loads. All you have to be is a company driver.

-And for tip, yep, 23, and you're old, unemployed, bitter, and generally crap on the industry and its companies.

Here's how you could help. Rather than whine about how bad the industry is, you could offer sage advice.
-Example, before I found this site I was going to use the quick route and go with Pam and the CD1 driver institute in ST Louis. Thankfully, everyone apprised me of the problems with doing so. The high interest, the extra cents they take off for miles you run out of training, etc.
-How about a daily wage for people. What is you opinion of a good daily wage.
-An hrly wage. Whats the minimum truckers should accept.
-Whats a typical day like as OTR. Basic things like a bag of baby wipes. Clothes, loaf of bread.

You waste your breath when you just say, trucking bad, there's a conspiracy here. {Conspiracies are rarely discovered}
