Why are new drivers......

There are a ton of local gigs in my area but i live in the suburbs about 45 mins north of Philadelphia. Traffic is brutal just about everywhere you go.
I just found an ad in my town for local driver starts at $22 - $23.50/hr depending on experience. It's delivering petroleum and you have off sunday and mondays.

 

It seems you think so highly of us millennials, thanks. We appreciate being welcomed into the industry and shown the way by members of the previous generation who's work ethic, positive attitude, professionalism, and level of success achieved is to be respected such as yourself. I'll let you get back to your 5 day work week which is "pushing you to state of a nervous breakdown".

 

here in Socal the powde industry is turning toward hourly, sarts around 17.00 to 20.00 per hour, off sundays and alternating sat, home everyday.

 

Because some of us value our lives and would rather try to get a local job if we can, rather than give a company 4 weeks of our lives for only 2 days at home..

 

curious.. how do they achieve 75k?

 

Not everyone can own/operate a truck OTR. I love running my own numbers/truck...would hate my life being local. $200-$250 a day wouldn't get me out of my sleeper.

 

including yourself.
