      I am older now (54 years old) and would rather drive at 60 mph and save on fuel and amortization. I have been getting 8.5 MPH on average. Yet we are all different and should not be subjugated to any speed limiters. I drive slow and stay on the right lane, away from faster trucks. Trucking unfortunately has become a low wage earning job.

    People are missing the bigger issue. There’s always going to be freight no matter what. The problem is that smaller companies are being shamelessly out bid by the major operations. Where I live many smaller companies are having to slash pay and benefits just to keep up. Pretty soon the entire industry will either be Swift trucks or smaller operations that pay next to nothing, offer no benefits and run you till you’re burnt out and ready to quit.

      @MK-fc2hn 7 месяцев назад

      Full collapse is coming.. consumer demand is about to be exhausted and will lead to millions of job losses. It will take years for a rebound, both in freight rates, and the economy overall. Anyone who says freight rates will recover anytime soon is either engaged in wishful thinking or is deliberately misleading their audience. I wish none of this were the case, but history shows clearly that printing gobs of money always leads to reduced spending power from inflation. This "sugar high" is about to crash badly.

Look for fall off of used equipment,repo,auction sales as markers of bottom.

    I wonder if E-logs are contributing to the cash crunch. When I started driving in the early 90's it was common to run 4000mls a week logging everything at the speed limit. My last year OTR in 2018 I was avg only. 2670 per week. So then companies put more trucks on the road to make up for lost productivity and then the rates nosedive.

    • @CaptainDaccat
      @CaptainDaccat 9 месяцев назад +2

      E logs are the least of my worries. The loads are so few and far between that you’re not going to find enough work to fill 50 hours out of a 70 hour clock. If you’re running flatbed especially, you’ve only got a 5 day work week because if you try to take a long haul out over the weekend then you’re going to get a load paying less than $1.50/mile while the cost to move the truck is roughly $0.45/mile and rising. I got into shorter runs that are light weight and paying significantly better because they are multi stop and no one wants to deal with them but even that’s drying up. I was running less than 2,500 miles every week but at least I was getting money for the miles that I was putting on the truck. It’s ridiculous out here. I keep hearing about this company shutting down, that company laying off drivers, and a shortage of overall freight but you think that would mean that fuel would at least be lower if the demand for fuel was actually lower.

      I know a guy like that. He always seems to have that “million dollar idea” and a big dream when it comes to these trucks. He always talks about expending and putting drivers into other trucks. I kept explaining to him “you can’t just get these expensive ass trucks and slap a driver in the seat and expect to make crazy money right off the bat. What are you going to do when the truck breaks down? How are you going to pay for that driver’s hotel? Are you still going to pay them while they are broken down?”. I was operating off of 1 paid of truck for 6 years and I was doing pretty good. He was wondering why I was so stable. I kept telling him it’s because all of my stuff is paid for and I don’t bite off more than I can chew”. He is still being stubborn for the most part. He is on his 12th truck right now. He keeps losing the truck and getting another one and losing it again. And this guy has the nerve to try to tell me how to manage my finances and how to run business lol.

    Today, Knight-Swift announced 20-30% pay cuts totaling millions of dollars for their top executives. Drivers are not getting pay cuts yet, though.
    Essentially, at Knight-Swift, we expect to miss earnings targets for Q3 and Q4 across all parts of the business, and not just because of the US Xpress merger.
    The Q2 earnings call for KNX shareholders was pretty awful, with a lot of upset investors. And without direct action, the Q3 and Q4 earnings calls will be even worse.
    And the reason why comes down to these low freight rates, as our safety is improving, along with key metrics in every other major area.

      But Knight-Swift will continue hiring and training new drivers to fill those trucks. We have contracts and we have freight, but profit margins are so thin right now that we can’t afford to keep the drivers who are using too much fuel since they are costing the company too much money. Most of these drivers who will be let go are drivers who insist on just leaving their company truck idling. I’m very fuel-conscious and I’m in the top 5% of KNX drivers in the dispatch mpg metric, so I’m not worried about the cuts.
