      Because a huge recession is coming

        I doubt it, rates were kept artificially low by abusing drivers for decades and now everyone is quitting and there's no young people going into trucking because its a dead end where you'll get abused until you either die or quit.

            Things will get moved for cheap and this will last until enough small companies go out of business and enough company drivers quit because they are only getting 1200 miles a week
            Shouldnt take more than a few years

            It'll never be foolproof. A prefect machine and perfect software to run it are impossible. Accidents WILL happen as they do now. Majority of accidents Teslas are in are caused by the self driving shit.
            And here's the big thing: who do you prosecute when a self driving truck crashes in to a daycare and turns 30 toddlers in to a smoothie? The truck owner? The person that dispatched the truck? The person that made the truck? The person that made the trucks AI?

      That'll be Swift or Werner. Just understand they don't give a single frick about you, or your driver manager for that matter, which bothers a lot of drivers but if you accept that you're just a number in a truck that only exists to move shit from here to there you can get along ok.

        Werner used to underpay pretty bad
        Swiiff is better than it was but those guys still get mocked pretty bad
        Schnieder will at least give you some options to learn flatbed and tanker so when your first or second year is up , you have more options
        They underpay pretty bad though
        Prime will brainwash you into thinking lease purchase is a good idea.
        You can make it there but only by running your absolute balls off

      Anonymous

      Are you trying to get them to pay for a cdl and shit?

      If so, doesn't matter get in wherever u can, get ur cdl and bounce (unless you actually like it there for a while). yeah they will charge you but so what frick em u got ur cdl. you'll make enough to reimburse them at your next gig

      If you get a cdl privately (which is the way if you can afford it) then frick megas find someone else.

      What;s a good company you ask? idk figure it out. this is very location dependent, and personal preference . once you get ur cdl you know what you like. everyone is different. some value pay over home time. me idc about pay to an extent if i'm home every day. tell them what you wanna do and then if they don't agree leave. just be selective when choosing your job because they need you more than you need them and if you can drive you can find what fits you. walk into the interview like they need to earn you, not the other way around. obv don't be an butthole but what do you want out of this job....and they will lie... feel em out

      plan on staying a year wherever u chose after because you cant have too many jobs in a short time but get that cdl bounce to a better company stick it out for a year cuz once you give a company a year the doors open up. i mean the more time the better. then, once you get some time you can dial in what fits you... and start really earning.

      i found a great gig after 3 months xp. (doing private school cdl) ... not saying that's standard. i feel i got lucky. but it's highly location dependent. i live in a big trucking area. so your mileage may vary.

            Don't buy or lease whatever you do. Rates are in the fricking toilet and will be as long as our Sniffer In Chief is in regime control. Fuel is up, everything is up but rates. The fuel surcharge is up but the rates are going down so loads pay what they did when fuel was 1.80/gal

            Not only that but I've talked to some UPS drivers and apparently the company isn't afraid to assign you to a DC in a lower paying state next door but have you work out of a DC in a higher paying state at the lower pay of the DC you're assigned to. And the union lets them get away with that.

          3k every 2 weeks is 78k/year. The average wage for leafs and people residing within The Designated School Shooting Zone is around 30-45k/y. So yeah, making around double the national average, pretty good deal. Go larp elsewhere zoomer.

          Well, in fairness to their argument, for teams thats not that great of money. On the road. Certainly with teams its awfully hard to cook consistently and have groceries. So, youre eating gas station/fast food every day and the big chain truck stops are ignorantly expensive. You probably will spend 15-20k on just food and dining while out on the road. After taxes and deductions youre really looking at not a great amount take home. Im a local driver and I make 57k american. Its decent money but it could definitely be more. Teams? Im gonna be needing north of 100k for that shit.

I could get one and put 30k+ into making it really nice and still come out way ahead vs a new chassis cab 4500. Do you think it would be profitable to run? I know hotshot freight tends to pay less than full truckload. Maybe I could get something besides a standard 40ft dovetail and target a different niche? Any suggestions?

          They are not underpaid, pretty much meets average pay for Canada. It is a job that takes no real schooling and very little training. If you want to make more than 50k learn a trade or go get a degree. Or be smooth enough to make it in sales which does not even require high school.

            Cost of living is very different in Canada. Leafs dont need to worry about healthcare costs, retirements built in, unemployment insurance is robust, lots of free funding to apply for for everything from getting CDL license, to having kids, to buying your first home. Also social issues are a lot more relaxed here - no daily school shooting, no massive biweekly riot that burns a city down.

With a better quality of care as well. There's a reason well-to-do foreigners come to the US for healthcare. Everything else you listed we have as well, in some form or another.

            You can get provincial or federal funding for basically anything that can make you "more employable". Google your province "skills development" or similar, each province has different naming and criteria. I got CDL for free through a provincial skills development program including $$ for room and board. My student loan for when I went to university had about 80% of it forgiven. Leafland is ez mode if you're a citizen, know the system and are not dumb as bricks.

            Roe V. Wade's ruling was specifically that those rights only applied insofar as to pregnant women getting abortions. It doesn't undo the precedents used to reach the ruling decision, the overturn just decides that the federal government doesn't have the mechanism to legislate abortion in its current state.

            Yeah but the rate of immigration in Canada is absolutely off the charts moronic and has been for years so the pajeets in trucking are here to stay regardless of any pay increases so what difference would it make?

        • 2 years ago

          Other way around. The pajeets are what lower the wages, because they will work for frick all.

    I am just a simple driver trying to make his way. Been doing lots of sports flooring. Delivered to New York University last week (lower manhattan) had to drive 7 miles of city block from the RFK bridge down 2nd Ave to Houston st to Mercer. It was crazy. I’m in the 310” wheelbase 53’ step too. But I am the big daddy and it made it work. Yes I did curb a trailer tire once. 😉 the curb was curved.

      Keep it straight and true if you must do an emergency stop. Staying straight is the most important thing when shtf.

      The most dangerous people on the road are old white people in new SUVs. They think they're invincible. If you see a Porsche taycan, pray they've had their morning meds.

    What a nice Sunday. Just sitting here enjoying the fruits of my godly trucking efforts. Did I get $15,000 direct deposited into my acc for a single week of work? Yes. Am I the supreme truck man? Yes.

    Peterbilt 389 is my truck of choice.
    And I am the outcast. The punished. Thrown out of the discord. But in the end I am the one who wins.

    Ya that’s right. Oily.

        I refuse to go to any israeliteel-Osco, Food Lion, most Krogers and most Americolds because of this. I don't care what it pays. I turned down a $4.50/mi Atlanta Kroger load and told them to send that to someone that wants to piss in a bottle for 9hr and drive 100 miles looking for parking afterward, they refused to let drivers use restrooms and wouldn't provide even a porta-shitter.

      Did they let you keep your cdl or did you have to start all over?

          Dude you are a horrible communicator

          You currently have an active CDL?
          You just want to add tanker?
          Just take the tanker test and bring in all your proof of residence and shit and have them add it.
          Thats all

          Are you thinking that you need to retake tests for endorsements that are already on your license?

        Anonymous

        If you never passed the tanker test, there is an additional EDLT course before you are even allowed to take it. That came into effect sometime in February

      If you let it expire, then you will have to go through everything again. I did after I got out for a few years. Double check that with your own testing agency jic.

      I haven’t ever pulled Van. But flatbeds can go go job sites a lot more often. Which rates from easy to really fricked up.
      Most often vans go to docks designed for them.
