- The Sunday Rant is here and I talk about what the ATA recently said. Chris Spear, the head of the American Trucking Association said that by paying drivers overtime they would make less money. What? This came out as there is a bill that would mandate OT for truck drivers. I want to inform you of the salary of Chris Spear. 2.7 million dollars a year. $52000 a week. $1300 an hour. That guy thinks you shouldn't get overtime. If drivers really made less then ATA companies would already pay it. Don't listen to a guy making $1300 an hour telling you that you don't need overtime.

I am not surprised that the ATA is against this. The ATA is an absolute cancer on trucking.
Just ate a soup 🍲😋
What you eat
These two bills are going no where. They introduce bills like this late in the session to make constituents feel good. There are 14 session days left in House and 18 session left in the Senate. Any bills not passed by both houses by end of session die. These bills will never see a vote on the floor. It’s just feel good for suckers.
Yup, just throwing bones out to the Dawgs all it is.
Preach!
I have gripped and raised cane about not getting paid for all time worked. No other industry says hey we want you to work but we are not going to pay you for all hours worked!!!
Why do they think they can do this to truck drivers
Wow, your hammer was very accurate! Hit the nail on the head every time!! 🔨👍🚛🇺🇸
I worked for Estes and was paid hourly. It was great but you earn every penny!
I love your channel. I miss your live Mondays shows
I am sure that I used to watch your channel every day but now I’m watching your channel on Friday from last Sunday
I’m a W-2 company driver making six figures. I’m not paid by the hour and don’t want to be. I’m paid for everything I get done. CPM for miles empty and loaded, flat fee for stops, by the pound for handling, flat fee for 34 hour resets, holidays, and vacation
Who do you work fo
@@fastjoecorrigan7426 - Visit my channel, I show every pay statement. I’m with Cheeseman. But there are many good companies. As Mark says, Get paid for all you do. I miss the live show.
We need to thank the mega companies for pushing ELD which is a time clock ⏰ to pay drivers by the hour. 😊
As a daycab driver getting hourly pay plus time and a half, i can happily say i made more here as a company driver then i did otr. Now hourly i don’t mind being stuck in traffic or waiting for a door at a customer.
AMEN!!! Heck we've got sleeper cabs here 2-3yrs old with the rappers still on them!!! IF by chance for whatever reason a driver might be...not be able to make it home, Per Diem in a separate untaxed check, Uber to the Company paid Hotel or they send a mechanic with a Releaf Driver & the company pays for EVERYONE'S TIME!!! retention at this Company is 98% our customer have even bought our 6th day for $300 + regular OT pay
Suckers work for CPM!!!
@@NO1sFUELWow, so you work for one of those rare good motor carriers. Congratulations. I hope I can find one like that one day.
@cmv8722 ANY Carrier hauling Oil or Gas basically. They got these KW & Pete's with sleepers because they resale for more
Covered a route last week 107 miles to the terminal from my house where I got the truck & tanker paided mileage on my person vehicle...gas, & hotel because I worked a 12hr shift + PER DIEM
It's out there ALL OVER we just have to think outside the box/ rolling prison cell !!! It hard to see the BIG PICTURE from behind the truck stop...I know I've been there long enough to date then marry the manager who was like why don't you drive for us? Our drivers make $100-120k a year
The next fight will be over what counts as an on duty hour. They will try to pay only for driving time instead of all on duty time. It won't work but they'll try anyway because drivers will now start logging all the time they spend sitting in a dock instead of logging off duty.
What they’ll do is eliminate company drivers doing OTR. They’ll go to home daily relay runs and more hub to hub. We all know how home daily pays. The stuff that has to be OTR? Independent Contractors. They don’t get overtime. The carriers are going to double trucker pay. It’s not going to happen. This would make rail more appealing.
Once otr is out electric trucks come in
@@joshhelms8413 Electric trucks changes nothing. If you are talking autonomous trucks, all current autonomous trucks are diesels.
You the mann mark , can we please get a new 15/20 min podcast….
Need more info on the bill. We spent less than 10 seconds covering it.
So "remove the exemption from being paid over time" but what is our over time considered? 71+ hours?
ATA should rename itself immediately
Out here California fast food workers minimum wage is 20 per hour WITH OT!!! Truckers r dumb mfers for not unionizing.
I’ve worked hourly and CPM. OTR I would loose money being paid by the hour. They will never pay me a high enough wage to equal what I make CPM. Now when I was local hourly pay is the way to go.
Employers don't get to just pay whatever they want. They have to pay enough to fill their empty seats, and they have to compete with other companies for the available divers.
Trucking pay will never change without organized labor it’s that simple government is not coming to the rescue
@@nospam3001 they also can not pay more than the freight is paying them.
@@alfpedersen2201 there is organized labor and you have a choice to work for those companies. Not everyone is for that. That’s a personal choice.
@@Olesnapper You made my point for me,99% of the non union drivers don’t want representation but they want change it doesn’t work that way they literally live in a fantasy world thinking government or the companies will just come to the rescue because it would be the fair thing to do,I drive myself so I’ve heard plenty of driver’s opinions on this matter
Great rant this week!
The cost added on to a load of cereal or macaroni and cheese per. Box to compensate drivers properly is nothing compared to inflation and the profiteering of these companies. This should have been done years ago. I have always referred to working more for less money as Truckers math. If you are working in this industry and don’t demand your time is highly valuable no one else is going to! Time is a finite precious commodity I will not work and support someone else’s lifestyle for free.
So gald u covered this. I saw it the other day.
Problem is party no one wants to do the math. Say a fair hourly rate is $30 an hour. Driver has to be with the truck and trailer at all times. That’s $720 a day. Run if all goes well will take 24 hours factoring in rest time while still babysitting load.$1440 to driver. If you know how much the truck cost to run pre mile and how much profit you want on back end you can use simple math to say if we ship this load you have to pay this amount. The hourly thing can be done if no one takes the brake even or slight lose rates that are offered
I thought about getting back in a truck. Even a good company, at 95k a year and 14 hr days....thats still not even 30 an hour.
2 legs bad, 4 legs good. The ATA should be shut down, disbanded, why do they even exist, and I’m not a trucker anymore, when I was I was Local LTL, paid for all my time plus OT after 8 hours, screw that OTR nonsense, been there , done that.
He's absolutely correct. I would guess the big companies will strand you every week for a 34. They will have no issue relaying loads.
Sickening, hearing that 1300 dollar a hr.
Some local companies pay per diem and not by the hour. I worked for a company that only paid overtime after 50 hours before
Since we r on federal standards they can mix and match anything they want. They paid OT that better than 95% of trucking jobs. Mine is OT after 40 but it's 21 bucks and hour. So they get u coming or going.
2.7 mill. /120k miles is like 23 bucks a miles!!!
Has anyone calculated their pay using On Duty plus Drive lines, calculated weekly? I have. I make $34.23 per hour factoring for overtime after 40 hours per week.
WTF!! ALREADY MAKES LESS. THEIR HUST SO INTELLIGENT 😂
More legislation from people who don't drive and will never drive, ever. That's for reals.
Pay ot and breaks
S6 would've been cool. Also these ATA spokesman are trained to use words of trickery and political corrected lingo to appeal to investors
Whhhhaaaaattt? R u kidding me
I'd like to see Chris paid by the mile instead.
This is why we need a UNION
Sooner or later you would price YOURSELF right out of a job. SCREW unions.
Getting paid by the mile, you need a job.
All u union haters watch time stamp 3:30-3:38 make that not true. I dare u.
Unions are by definition made up of sheep. You join, pay dues, and are required to do what the majority votes to do. Unions are great for poor employees. They are okay for the mediocre. But they hold back the strong workers.
Can't wait for more money's Can't beat them just join them😂😅
