What bout when you spend 30 days out never late always on time bust your butt and only make 800 dollars a week I get it but really there a lot of companies that do not pay and starve drivers

that was a tough dock to get to. Nice job Bud!!

I do want to be paid for my productivity but any time my boss changed my pay was not in my interest. Like when paid lunch breaks turned into 8 1/2hr days instead of 8. Im pretty sure this kind of bootlicking you occasionally do is what hurts your numbers. That and your hilarious jokes that only hurt the spoiled woke whites women and those that identify as white women that run youtubes algorithm.

The only time I’ve had to leave companies with pay has been loads. I think for most company drivers I’ve seen they like the pay they have but the loads get cut out of no where. Dollar general is one of the worst private fleets to do this and I drove for them twice

The company I currently drive for had to amend its pay structure when brokers began paying less. I don't live beyond my means so it is seen as a temporary happening with a pretty good company. Starting over sucks, but I have done it before and prefer not to do it if I don't have to. It's easy to perceive it as being slighted. Anyway, I try not to self-sabotage as much as I once did...

Amigo can You say no bueno for caca more often i laugh so hard

Everybody has their own unique situation and unfortunately some people just like to complain. We all, regardless of what kind of work you do know someone who does nothing but complain. They could win the 1.5 billion dollar lottery jackpot and they would complain because they only got 972 million dollars after the taxes. I have been with the same company for 27 years. I remember the year they did not give a bonus check and gave everyone raises. One man was so angry he quit. Yes, he got a 6% raise and he quit, A bonus pays one time and it is gone. A raise pays now and continues to pay forever.

Of course you kiss the company’s ass.

I always love the percentage of the load it seems to pay a lot more than anything else.

hey man... Thanks for your review on these aft decks on those levels. 💯

I can't stand hourly drivers. If you want to milk the clock, get off the highway and take the street. No reason to drive 50mph on the inner lane.

I started in 2018 with the same company I work for now. The pay has done nothing but go up. Overall for one of the mega carriers, my wife and I are happy. Cant wait for the slower winter season to be over for us! Last year was a record pay year for me and we started this division in March.

I just love the atmosphere that everyone is relaxing. I too take less cruises cause I get a suite.

Productivity in trucking depends on various factors, weather conditions, traffic, the load planners and driver leader (company politics and favoritism), equipment I can't go out of my truck or trailer is in the shop, and the freight market (economics), and the hours of service, If it were up to me I would be driving 3500 miles a week making bank but like I said various factors.

Fixing trucks is no picnic a lot of the time either.

I worked for 10 Roads they kept re- bidding and went from 51 hrs a week to 40 with no D/H pay and detention time start after 5hrs. I had to bounce out.

Were you able to park in the terminal?

I worked at a company which changed so much and the older guys could not follow the pace so they ended up with a very poor salary.

After almost forty years and 5,000,000 miles,I wouldn't recommend trucking as a career for any young person that has another good option.

This may apply to some but not all. Leaving R+L carriers because they decided to cut our departments pay by up to 30%. We were working our butts off putting in 12-14hrs regularly. Was bringing home $1400-$1700 weekly. Took our pay and pretend they would correct it by Dec 2024. Never did so I’m leaving. Funny thing is our P&D division is hourly and all those guys do is sit under a tree and nap.

so many professional drivers retiring, trucking is in the toilet and the amatures drive in the middle lane getting passed on both sides... miles with their turn signals on if they use them at all, most can't speak english so a c.b. wont do any good, glad to be retiring at the end of this month

Miss me with that “company man” bullshit.

All the companies are competing to see how cheap drivers will work. I've never seen pay get lower and lower until trucking. I work for free half the time mostly due to shippers and recievers.

Good luck Ike! You can do it! Calories in, calories out! Water and exercise. Don't eliminate things you love. Just make a healthier option and portion control it. You got this!

I drive local home daily. I weigh 260 lbs I use to be 300 lbs. I try to drink a gallon of water a day it helps keep me full. When I get hungry I drink water and it helps. Good luck and will keep an eye on progress. Take care

I left got tired of trucking company scamming the backbone of the whole company The poor drivers

Golf and Keto works fer mi lik hukt on foniks..good on you Sir!

I don't know how many time I see these RUclips truckers saying they quit then they're right back

I made a decision a few years ago. I’m happier staying at 1 company. I decided not to paper chase. There’s more to trucking than money. When you come into trucking they tell you it’s all about the money. You’ll talk to other drivers and as I’ve realized, all of them are 1 upping. You tell a driver what you get paid they will immediately say that’s crap and they make more. The reality is they probably don’t. The real deal in trucking is sanity. Stability. And yes miles are going to fluctuate. Yes companies will leave you screwed sometimes. But as soon as you realize that’s all of them. You will know the grass isn’t greener somewhere else. I’ve been much happier just staying put through thick and thin. Knowing well the next company is just going to do that shit too. The longer you’re with a company the better they treat you. Your a body in the seat for a year or 2. But after that you’re a respected driver they will see that your opinion and life matters. Just don’t get caught up in the switching companies every year.

there will always be seat warmers who want to be paid by the hour and want to do as little work as possible and then there will be driver who are hard working people who make more money and have a better life than the lazy fucks that no one needs anyway

Everybody is hired to be fired.

I started driving in 1975 for 2.15/hr....and worked 60 per hours per week.

I work at mileage pay company offered percentage pay 3 yrs ago and my pay checks have gone from 1800 take hone not gross to 400 to 800 dollars take home now and they want drivers to unload and reload flatbed every day and drive 300 to 500 miles everyday to make the 2500 miles a week quota they think should happen lmao I just drive legal speed limit and say let's talk to dot if they don't like it

I got lucky the company I went with? They paid you $500 for orientation. Gave you your own room and paid for breakfast, lunch and dinner

i been doing at this for 4 years , my next job will be something outside of trucking meanining i have no desire to learn a new job new company new people new system etc, just find something u like that pays good and stay

I was on a dedicated run with one of the mega carriers and they cut our pay after about 6 months after starting the account

Don't eat until your stomach growls. Also drink fiber to make heep big caca

I left a company in 08. They cut the pay across the board by 10 percent. Only thing that changed was our pay. Workload and scheduling didn’t change.

They never changed pay on me freight just slowed down

My last company paid ok but i was running my butt off. The reasons I left was lack of communication, almost trying to force me to run recaps and thefts from truckers while at the terminal.

Then they ups sleep teams or feeder well over 160 k a year from what few feeder drivers told me

Here is my pay raise. I had to drive a 2014 x 450hp Binder Maxxfarce 13 tupperware container, hated this pile of junk. Thankfully, it broke down and they give me a 98 KW 900, repower'd w/a550 cat n 18spd. What a relief to be inside of a real truck cab with big toggle switches and a flat split window, and i finished out my trucking days running that rig. I considered that a really good pay raise. Enjoyed every second of driving that truck.

Hey Ike , good message sir 👋

I get spots of angst here and there. Try the Olly calm / stress relief chewable gummies, they’re all natural, taste o.k and actually work. Glad you’re o.k, I didn’t know what it was when I first started having anxiety and the little panic attacks scared the crap out of me.

If a company has hired lazy drivers and decides to cut my pay while I'm a solid driver I'm out. Had a companies try that and I left them with their lazy drivers. I work hard i don't need to boost the numbers so someone's friends can keep a job.

Some companies just aren't good, they either have no loads or bad dispatchers. So you're making them money but you're sitting around begging for loads, it's not always lazy drivers.

The best work/life balance job I found in trucking is delivering propane. Home every day, Hourly pay, raises every year, safety bonuses, and 5 weeks of vacation over the summer. Yes, backing a tight driveway and pulling a hose 150 feet up a hill definitely is work, but hey there are ups and downs at every driving job. At least I'm not dealing with bad shippers, layovers, and massive idiots and lot lizards at truck stops. Also, I get paid for every hour worked. If you have your CDL and aren't afraid of a little work, I'd check it out.

From what I've seen with salaried drivers is they work according to the demands of the customer. Changing this type of work to productivity pay will result in a pay cut if the customer's workload decreases. This means your guaranteed $300/day salary can be cut to $200/day or less if work is slow.
