Bidenomics is working ! For the enemies of the country!
A lot of large corporations outsource / export jobs to other countries expect the truck driver. Gotta import us
Ask your viewers, what is their best, place to grab a bite to eat on the go, good food and Quick!!
when on the road!
Also, put your viewers, to work!
😮 They take you far from home 🏡, make you lose your family, steal your wages,can't pay your bills,then abandon you on the road.😢
Exactly damm right!
SLAVES ! DAMN SLAVES !!
Sounds about right. And don’t forget we get rio off at the scales, department of motor vehicles and insurance companies
100% Correct!
All facts for many drivers
There's not a driver shortage. There's a pay, respect and home time shortage.
Home time shortage 😂😂
Trying to get home right now and it’s taking forever 😭
Exactly true
@franklinbrandon5283 big time. My company only gives one day home for 7 on the road.
@@willparrish7646 slavery still exists LoL
Not everyone is built for truck driving. Mentally, Physically, Spiritually.
I'm not cut out for it but I keep trucking. They'll fire me eventually.
It takes a real special somebody to do this job. I love it. Been at it since 2010 and I've made it work. Doesn't feel like work to me. Own my own truck now and im never looking back. Yeah, the market sucks but im doing ok.
@@josephg.3370 same here just here because I can't work in a factory
@@josephg.3370 lol. Nice take😊
Amen,it's not for ever 1,ive been thur it 29 years now thur all phases of trucking
Boycott the big corporations. This country was built by the small operator, and it’ll be RE-BUILT by the small operator.
🔥ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT🔥
One problem, a lot of the brokers treat drivers bad, and the most the shippers use the mega fleets. Also, now we have millions of illegal immigrants to take more of our work, and drive down wages even further. Big Gov. ain't helping either.
Work for a company that doesnt pay by the mile. Pay by the hour is best. Also dont work for a company that trains or hire new drivers as it is a tool to suppress wage increases. Used to work for 3 megas now working union ports. Best decision ever
@@ronaldhart9278 You need to stop watching Fox News.
@MrRld1960 why? He's right. Maybe you should stop watching CNN you fucking commie
Yes, they Blackball drivers all the time.
Unless you do a dollar store account. The freight’s usually consistent, but you have to hand bomb those boxes. Most young drivers won’t do it. The home weekly accounts never pay well also, despite the lies about salary or even potential salary. You gotta stay out a few weeks. It’s inconvenient, but that’s never changed. They just openly lie now to satisfy recruiting quotas.
If there were actually a driver shortage, the rates wouldn't suck, because shippers would be fighting for what drivers there are. It's about supply and demand, as in all business. There's too many drivers out here, not too little.
Your comment says it all.
There's never been a "driver shortage" All the big box carriers offer orientation 2-3 times a week for new recruits from the driving schools. Buddy Buddy system in play. There's a mega problem with driver retention!
I said it too many trucks chasing too few loads and brokers are taking advantage through the race to the bottom load auction they created that rewards the lowest bidder.
I was a driver for Kimberly Clark for 16 years. Private carriers (in house driver) To be considered you must have had 5 years verifiable accident free and pass a strict driving test. I made $65,000 a year in brand new equipment in a company paid uniforms. Schneider came along and pitched their propaganda to KC executives. Schneider drivers made $25,000 and up to $30,000 if they didn’t idle their trucks at night and attempted to deliver on time. Well, Schneider took over and their brigade of flip flop wearing, muscle T shirts and shorts showed up to deliver our freight. Their on time delivery was terrible. Then Schneider sent every Kimberly driver a letter saying if you wanted your old job back you could have it at half the money and driving their junk. Not one KC driver took them up on their offer. Schneider is a cut rate carrier with sub standard drivers and equipment.
You can say that again
I remember when that went down. It was like replacing Dale Earnhardt with Danica Patrick. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
JUST LIKE ALL THE MEGA CARRIERS/TREAT YOUR DRIVERS LIKE CRAP AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A HUGE TURNOVER/WORK FOR A MEGA CARRIER AND YOU WILL NEVER GET TO GO HOME/YOU WILL END UP QUITING AND TURNING YOUR TRUCK IN AND THEN THEY WILL BLACKBALL YOU EVEN IF YOU WERE A PERFECT DRIVER/SAFTEY/LOAD DELIVERY ON TIME
Nailed 🔨 it
What a joke the whole industry is.more trucks in ditches than between the lines.
Former Schneider driver here!! I obtained my CDL from Schneider and worked regional on the dedicated Target account. No complaints besides the….PAY!!!
That would make u quit …
Eve thing is great ,, but im underpaid lul
What's wrong with $5.00 an hour ? They let you sleep in their truck for free didn't they ?
@ericschneider8524 what's wrong with me taking you out of your house, moving myself in, and telling you to get bent?
How much are they paying you to say that ?
I did 1 year otr with cr England with no accident. I was miserable , only went home 4 times and was getting super fat at 250 pounds . I definitely learned a lot but it messed me up mentally and physically. After that I joined knight ports locally and I’m now home everyday and weekends off. The money is ok and I’m in a better place now having come down to 175 pounds and being happy with my girlfriend and fam .
All the drivers out there with good drivers record’s good customer service, work ethic and efforts and all they get in return is more regulations, restrictions and a handful of awards. Shout out to all the truckers that do their jobs well. We love you all and keep on trucking!
Facts
So there is a experienced driver shortage.
Yep.
Doubles and haz mat endorsement shortage also.
That's good for me.
LTL team driver myself.
Will easily make over $100k.
Fridays YTD gross will be just over $40k.
First 3 months were slow.
We should get 6000 to 7000 miles per week.
That’s exactly right!
Shortage of experienced drivers, because today’s trucking industry, is about quantity and not quality.
@@supertruckertom I’m looking to try LTL. Which company do you work for?
How about putting people in those positions that have an actual idea about trucking
I was QUAL COMM 3X'S concerning a drop. After the third time, I told the driver manager to tell the drop company that everytime I have to STOP & answers a dumb question I'll be 15 minutes late. ⬅️ that ended the QUALL COMM messages.😊
Then they wouldnt do what theyre told.
This means that a driver generally stays at Schneider for like 6 months on average. The person on the interview said they stayed there for 9 months. Thus, yes, there isn't a driver shortage problem rather there is a shortage of drivers who want to be underpaid and treated poorly by companies and brokers.
Schneider has more 20 year and million mile safe drivers than most trucking companies have drivers in total.
@@johngaither9263 They may have some but on average based on the numbers they report as drivers and based on their own words at the conference on average they have 200% turnover of their drivers and that means on average a driver works there for 6 months. It doesn't mean they don't have some that are as you say but on average their drivers come and go every 6 months. That is not good !
Everyone is forgotten. From the people behind the counter,the ones cleaning showers.The ones who sling the food.I appreciate them all.Do not forget roadside people.The ones fixing our trucks and trailers.So a very big shout out to everyone that's forgotten.To the ones that we see on a daily basis.If it was not for people working at truck stops we would go hungry and no showers.I always leave $5 in the shower when I am done.Now a days it's not much.Stay Blessed Everyone
Why the heck are you tipping $5 in the shower? They get paid hourly and is doing their job. When did a shipper or customer ever tipped drivers?
@@floatpool8307 no man. You shouldn’t tip somebody for doing their job. That’s why this tipping culture has gotten out of hand. Everybody is always expecting a tip. Even the ice cream man shoved the machine in my face and said “TIP FOR ME???!!”. Yall crazy
$5 per shower could add up to $1,500 per year. I'm not going to redistribute $1,500 of my yearly income to the shower cleaners.
The past President of the ATA from Maverick Transportation got ran out of the ATA because back in 2000 he said drivers were under paid and there was no driver shortage.
The truck drivers shortage is the experience drivers getting out of trucking
OOIDA seems to be the only trucking organization that truly fights for truckers! ATA is a joke
They didn’t do shit about ELDs for owner operators..Now they sell insurance .. They are business now !! See how much the executives make representing owner operators best interests…Years ago OOIDA WAS LEGIT ..BUT it’s a scam now ..
I never had a problem with them since I ve been a owner operator for over 20 years
ATA is an association created by and for the interests of the mega carriers ! ATA is completely antithetical to the interests of the truck drivers !
ATA is strictly a company membership structure. It's lobbying in Wash DC 24/7/365. It is only for company intrrests. Not for drivers at all.
Teamsters
There has never been a driver shortage.
There is NO driver shortage. Period.
Facts!
There is a shortage of quality drivers, however
@@rumrunner8019 that’s right!👍🏼💯
@@rumrunner8019- quality drivers will not work for crappy companies. So there's one reason for the turnover. The working conditions - pay per mile and not by hour, away from home for days, little privacy due to technology, occasional shortage of loads that the company gets - cause many drivers to split before they can become quality drivers. There's another reason. On the other hand, a company that addresses these concerns successfully will find itself not being able to compete with other trucking companies on cost, so it'll become nearly impossible for that company to earn a profit and stay in business.
Truck driving is a 158 hour a week job. $15 an hour isn't enough.
The big companies are going to screw you until you quit. Get used to it and enjoy the scenery. They're all the same.
Why don’t people work for smaller companies and ditch the big mega carriers then?
There's no driver shortage we all just circle around from company to company 😅😅😅
🌴☀️As a new female driver I appreciate you & this channel so much☀️🌴
Thanks and welcome
Good luck when you are tired sleep stop and get a nap they can always change the appointment your life is more important and you family is more important than the load … 25 years over the road it’s not worth it >>>and get a CB Radio is a must!!!!
I only see vast majority of truck drivers are foreigners. Rarely see an American still doing it
Also young ghettos
What’s a young ghetto?
What’s your point, country was built on foreigners. What do you classify as an American btw, just someone who is white and Christian?
@@ak_getright9905Are you serious??
I've been driving 9 years. I still see Americans
As a truck driver for 11 years we're Underappreciated Underpaid Essential workers.
This is the same thing I go through with 10 roads express saying the same thing
Truckers keep America moving. All working men and women understand this and are grateful! Others have no idea where that gallon of milk or can of beans came from besides the store shelf.
Not to mention once you have exp, they don't wanna give you your raise. When you 1st start,there are tons of loads. 😂 THEN experienced drivers get benched once your pay goes up.
Yeah the “raise” for most companies is like .05 over 5 years per mile screw these greedy companies
I agree with this...treat us like working people,show us some respect,stop regulating us to death,fix the parking problem,educate the 4 wheel drivers and stop blaming us for every accident and stop coming to our trucks while we are trying to rest/sleep and waking us up to give us a ticket for sleeping..
Drivers are getting fed up with working for Penny's man . They wanna see a shortage they keep fucking over the working class .
Truthful said
Shortage? Try finding a parking spot after 5pm at the truck stops. WAY TOO MANY of them out here!!
I've been driving for 8 years now and been hearing the same discussion about the state of the trucking industry and still no change. I give up
Take their Responsibility as a corporation with integrity.
"pEopLe dOnT wAnT tO woRK (for greedy corporations) nO mOrE"
thats what it is, local job im working now I thought I would only do 1 year with them and move on, I'm 1.5 years in so far and im staying with them until I move to texas 2 years from now. They we're only wanting to pay $65,000/year for the position but I want to work and so they let me and my first year I made $93k with them and im on track this year to clear $100k. I've got 2 semis, a daycab and a sleeper because im willing to be out a day or two when needed, i get to clock in and out on my phone and I havent had one dispute about my hours. Damn good company and its gonna be a crying shame when I leave them to work in the oilfields in TX
I'd take a Dishwashing job before I drove for Schneider. I'd make more money and would be home every night.
DOT shouldn’t be doing any inspections they should be inspecting the roads a lot of these have pot holes the size of basketball an yet they want us to be safe on the roads
The road is the main problem why trucks breaking down. If DOT want to shut down folks due to unsafe equipment need to start with the highways. Potholes, etc. They put new pavements that dont even last a year.
Of course, they are hiring a lot of drivers and experiencing high turnover for many reasons. The majority are fresh out of CDL school. Some leave after six months or a year of experience. Let's not pretend that many of them also get fired for crashing, etc. My experience with Schneider as a company driver was great. I had a jet set/dedicated account and was guaranteed $1450 a week, whether I moved or not. I also received a raise every six months. Every time I exceeded the guaranteed amount, I got to keep the extra. So, it depends on the individual's experience.
$1450 wk😂. That’s a joke. You come home with $900 a wk. I wouldn’t get out of bed for that🥱
@impro :
"You laugh about someone who pays regardless of the situation, showing what kind of person you are 💩. Now, may you check your paycheck statement because it seems like you're getting f**k in as*. Why? I don't understand why 38% is taken out of someone's paycheck for taxes, plus deductibles for health insurance. $1450 was the minimum I would take home. During the slow season, I would be at Iowa 80 truck stop, chilling, sleeping, and getting paid. I was getting paid $34.50 per hour for driver time and $15 per hour on duty. So, during the busy season, after driving more than 40+ hours a week, you can do the math on how much I was taking home. Additionally, I was getting paid that amount with only three months of experience, and they trained me and gave me experience on tankers. Comparing it to my first truck job at Melton (flatbed), I was making more at Schneider. So, I can't complain. One more thing they gave me a 10000 sign on bonus that was paid through out the 12 month.
@@f.j.c4444 I live in Rhode Island. Taxes are high cus we don’t want trash people here. You need to make $120 k to be able to live like a normal person here
@impro now it makes sense but The cost of living in your state is high because it is a debt-ridden state, leading to higher taxes. However, there is a limit to the taxes imposed, so a loophole is to raise the cost of living, causing people to pay more taxes. In Texas, we do not pay state taxes, and depending on where you live, it can be super affordable. You get more for your money.
@@f.j.c4444 Tex is a huge state has more $. Rhody is small small tax base. Taxes have to be high here. I like it this way to keep poor bums away. I’m a big believer in pricing people out.
Accountable . THATS THE WORD !! THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND PAY US RITE !!!! STRIKE !!!!!!
"Well said!" And every trucker should be passionate about these issues! Thanks also to OOIDA for all you do.
I've been saying it from the moment they were saying "driver shortage, driver shortage" that it's a lie. How is it a driver shortage when you see more trucks on the road than cars? How is it a driver shortage when there's more trucks than freight when you look on the load boards? How is it a driver shortage when the parking lots get FILLED to the BRIM by 6pm? How is it a driver shortage when you see people sleeping on exit and entrance ramps? How is it a driver shortage when the broker literally laughs in your face and tells you "you're delusional" for asking for an extra $200 on the rate (true story, Landstar broker)? How is there a driver shortage when the spot rates are $1.20 a mile? How is it a driver shortage when fuel surcharge is 47¢ per mile and that's INCLUDED in the rate when you get a load from the broker? Meaning the actual rate of the load is 73¢ per mile!
There is no, was no, is going to be no driver shortage. The market is OVERSATURATED with drivers and trucks. EVERYONE and their dog is driving. Why? I'll tell you why. It's SUPER easy to become a driver. And that's what they want. They want a super easy process in order to churn drivers out like butter. This is something I've been saying. Obtaining a CDL should be a rigorous process. It should test every inch of your body. Coming out of school should make you a professional. Schooling costs 5k, 6k, 7k, I've heard as high as 10k. It costs the same to become a pilot. And when people become pilots, you see how they graduate? Like professionals. They know and do everything by the book. They know the book. You paid 7K for a CDL school and they chewed you up and spit you out like a piece of collogen from a steak. You literally left the school with no extra skills other than a couple hours behind the wheel and a little bit of practice backing up. Within your first 2 months you would have forgot most of the pre-trip. And that's fine. The pre-trip does have some things in it that don't really matter, but by your 6th month you would have completely forgot it. Why? Becasue they didn't teach ou to actually teach you. They taught you just to be able to pass the test and bring in the next class of people to chew them up and spit them out too.
Like Damien Marley once said "Cup runneth over till it spill, take until they've had their fill"
To everyone reading this, listen to me right now. If you don't see yourself as a driver for a long time, if you don't like what you do, if you have something else to do, if you're not making enough money, if for any reason you aren't thinking of doing this forever, as kindly as I can say it, please park it up and go home. There's too many of us. If people don't start leaving this is going to last forever. The market is oversaturated and it's not your fault, you heard "driver shortage" and ran to action. Thank you. But we were all lied to. Every one of us. Please, for this industries sake, just go home. Get a degree, start a business, work a floor job, something, anything. But if you don't see yourself doing this, please, do those who have nothing left a favor, and a huge favor, please go home.
This entire industry is becoming so fucking ridiculous. Things need to change and fast. We The People are getting fed the fuck up.
Wow, what a read. Everything you said was spot on and perfectly articulated
@@ak_getright9905His comment needs to be pinned.
@@ak_getright9905 thank you.
The moment I started at my CDL school I knew it was a money grab. This place brought in a new group of 30 students every 2 weeks. 30 students at 7000 dollars each. It's not at 10k to take the class. All they "taught" us to do was the pre trip and back into a dock. Out of the 170 hours I was in this CDL school, (i was only there because the truck broke down and i had to wait for it to grt fixed so i could test out) I only had around an hour of actual on road driving. This includes the road test with the Arkansas state Police, and that was around 30 minutes. The owners of this CDL school had new Corvettes, and all kinds of cool and expensive toys, yet the truck we used (a wore out cascadia) was a big pile of trash. It didn't even have 4th gear and 9th gear, and may other issues that you would get a ticket or put out of service for.
What's up with having to pay for parking every where we go
Schneider is very crooked to the core
They're all the same. More trailers equal harder screwing. That's how they lease more trailers.
Any publicly traded company is crooked to the core.
I went to heartland Express orientation back in 2013 and at the time they had a 230% turn over rate
It's not a matter of trucking regulations. We need regulations by the government, but we need the right and fair regulations. I'm an OOIDA member and truck driver. Every day, I get out of my sleep and pray that most of these mentally careless and unsafe truck drivers don't hit my truck or run me off the road and kill me. What used to be a few years ago is now a majority driving these trucks now. In addition to increased bad drivers operating basic vehicles on the roads.
The driver shortage has always been a myth. The only time ive ever seen empty shelves was during covid. And that was to trigger you to stock up. But never ever was a prpduce house where the crop just rotted. It was only a respected job when the public was short on toilet paper.
Mega fleets are used to the turnover. Some could care less about retention. But a 300 percent turnover is not a driver shortage problem.
Even so. The goal of a driver is eventually to do this on thier terms. But starting through a mega is a very necessary evil. And the Megas are who makes such false shortage claim.
We have a shortage of congress serving the working people.
Congress work for them and only themselves
And neither side side gives a flying flip about W T P
It's not a driver shortage and the guy was not lying, but he was misspoken most likely he probably meant to say they get 400 or 500 applicants per week. They were a great company and the only reason why I left is because after you've been driving and have a certain amount of experience there are things that they do that you don't want to put up with. But those things we don't want to deal with or excellent for newer drivers. And yes I would and will go back to them if something out here is not looking right. You will be surprised how many company and owner operators they have that have been there 20 years.
Spill the tea!!
I complained to ppl at knight a few days ago that they needed to stop hiring drivers because they don't have enough miles for the drivers they have to make a decent living and they told me that knight was under a hiring freeze, so I called a knight recruiter and pretended to be a driver looking for a job and the recruiter was anxious to hiring me for any terminal on the spot without hearing my experience level and then I specifically asked if there was a hiring freeze and she said she didn't know what I was talking about and knew nothing about a hiring freeze.
Knight is one of the worst with the nastiest equipment. Office personnel all getting screwed too.
Driver retention is the challenge in new drivers.
No driver shortage.
Freight is not sitting on the docks.
Turnover is over 100 percent, on plan on purpose.
To keep legimate focused owner operators out of the market....
It used to be a great job it sucks now,after 29 years in this rackett
OTR truckers should make 150 grand a year
That how the carrier s take advantage of drivers… keep on recycling a lot of carriers hiring lease operators, telling driver rates are very low and the end of the week after all deductions driver taking home $30
New drivers for cheap is the modern OTR model. No healthcare or retirement benefits for at least 3 months.
😃 thanks for the update, be good everyone
I drove for a over the road trucking company for 4 months 30 years ago. The Pay was insulting, time away from home was ridiculous, The treatment was abusive and theres no way they were getting 1 more day or mile out of me when I quit.
Ive been saying this since they said there was a trucker shortage. Shortage where? Look at the truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations that allow truck parking overnight, exit and on ramps near truck stops and diesel carrying gas stations. I started with Schneider 10 years ago. The training is A1 but the pay wasn't back then, but it was better than what Werner, Covenant, US Xpress, and CR England was offering for new CDL holders coming out of school.
Don't forget every lumper fee is advanced off driver pay. Who the hell wants to foot the bill for their freight. When the CEO's for these companies make 17 million a year but we make potatoes.
Owner operators have the most experience and are the safest drivers. The brokers (freight AND insurance) are ruining the industry financially. Period. Let’s talk about that. We just had to park our (my husband and I) truck because the overhead ate us alive. My husband drove for 77 hours a couple weeks ago and made $66. That was the last straw.
My uncle is a truck driver seems like 35 years maybe longer. We need less laws just better people to treat thecpeople right. Used to love truckers buffets but not so good anymore or cheap. God bless yall
It started over my for my first mega carrier. They sent me off one day to get a trailer. I went through 15 trailers and that was the entire parking lot. Not a single trailer was working properly DOT! properly I’m talking about! I found one it had two mission tires on the right side three lights out of the top weren’t working and it was missing a door hinge and the doors didn’t line up! And thank God for that! Get a decent was a struggle!
😂😂😂 400 drivers per week 😂😂😂😂
I saw C.R. England CDL school start with 100 students. Only 20 got a CDL licenses. After 90 days only 12 were left. ⬅️ this was winter of 2009
Great message God Bless you sir.
Latest 'Black ball' I received just today at my regular physician doing my 2 year DOT exam.. She said, 'hey I'm no longer doing these exams if you need one in 2 years'.. Um ok, why? 'Well they're tightening the rules for SLEEP APNEA... Now mind you I'm only 50 years young and 200 pounds with ZERO health problems.. What in the hell is going on?
They are getting rid of american drivers period.
It's all about money and control but mostly money.
Wow that's crazy
Yup big turnover problem like at 10 Roads Express? I worked out of Fargo, ND started in February 2022 and had enough after 10 Roads started messing with my pay, I was sick called in and they called me and give me a point for calling in sick? Before I resigned I was running 6 day’s a week never missed a night and then in August 2023 I ended up leaving because the 2 worst DM wouldn’t call back to follow up on my pay discrepancy!! I’m surprised they are still running but have to give credit to the driver’s to keep 10 Roads rolling!!
Great information. True 100%
Thank you for caring love your show. .🦋❤️😁🇺🇸👍🏾
appreciate you!!!! doing the best to share information
Sounds like the trucking turn over rate is like when we played musical chair,s in grade school when the lie,s stop they just sit down and drive there for awhile until the next mega carrier crank,s up the music again and there ... Off and running to the next great adventure well that,s what they told them wasn't it ?
There is not a driver shortage, only a freight shortage and cheap freight
From a family that has been in trucking in some form. I'm thankful their finally getting credit where it is deserved.
They dump large amounts of pee in my workspace! Let the truth be known!
salute to u my guy just did a reaction video to this
Thank u Alex always bro
It’s time for us truckers to fight for federally mandated hourly wages already!
I get paid by the hour and after 40 hours it's overtime and I love it never going back by getting paid by the mile
@@JakeT26811 yeah local has it easy otr drivers have it the worse and need to be paid per every 14 hour on duty shift
Free country. Make your choice. Eliminating free choice is not the answer. I suppose you have an employee attitude. Get paid for showing up. Rather than doing the job. If you do not like the way trucking companies treat you.
Simple solution. Start your own trucking company, get your federal authority, get a truck & trailer. I did so after 13 months of being a company driver. I did not like the way they were treating me & screwing me on miles.
Free choice, problem solved. Now I do the loads I want. No one tells me how to drive. If I get screwed on a load, never do business with them again. Burn the bridge. There are plenty, that once you show them you can deliver the load safely & on time. They will be calling you & paying better. Not wanting to take a chance on some unknown.
To each their own. Yet, free enterprise is the best for those that are not afraid to work!
If you are the type that tries to do as little as possible. Neglects responsibility. Stay as a company driver.
Company drivers drive the most work to me. The shippers & manufactures. Their fork lift & yard personnel know the difference. Management learns through the paperwork.
I love the competition. They push more business towards me than I can handle. So please maintain the attitude that you are there only to collect a check. By doing the least.
You keep me laughing all the way to the bank!
@@SinOjosWebppl like you should just stfu. Not all of us want to operate on our own so we instead be company drivers. Oh and btw your “simple solution” is retarded because if that was a simple solution it’d be in every working capacity. Nobody would have a boss. And there would be no regulations for companies because there would be no companies.
I'm hourly already, keep your socialism to yourself 😂
Well spoken I agree with that
37 years in a big truck and I was done in a day when I had a pacemaker/Defib. Installed. They got my heart back almost to normal but because of a law made in 1955. I think health care has come a ways in 65 years.
Listen, I’ve been a nurse for 25yrs. If the truck companies just stop the nonsense, turnover stops.
Yes appreciate drivers by paying drivers for their sacrifices and treat drivers like human beings.
This is why companies hate unions, right now all the drivers would have protection and a good pension. The union would not rob you as much as these trucking companies have😂 DRIVERS HAVE NOTHING.
-Hard to win with a Union also. =UPS (Union) drivers got the raises, but many drivers lost their jobs also.
This man speaks the truth..
Bossman they called me and my buddy to go back and work for them. We both said something similar to “we are content where we’re at.”
I’m down at Anheuser Bush. As you know, all the sleeper cabs are packed in this one little spot like sardines! This is St. Louis now they were all my company that I work for. I made sure I parked, but I wasn’t blocking anybody! I did my inspection everything on my truck! Someone must’ve been desperate for my holder and mudflaps bolt left and right side on the tractor are gone, including the key pins! Like really like really guys it’s not the first time someone from my company has robbed me a part off of the company truck I was driving from the same company!
Great content
Amen..people need to stand up and take responsibility and stop blaming people.
Alex, thanks you for all you do for the trucking industry..
Any time!
I Hope That other Companies is Listening to You. You're Super 💯....
I had a liad that needed to be picked up between 7pm - 9pm. Delivered at 7am the following morning. Mind you not that i was 4 hours away from pickup and three hours away from drop off. Just impossible. Then they stop clock and put time back on it like thats legal. Then theyll go back and say oh you had 8 hours left on your clock. You could've made it. Thats when they get told i dont do illegal shit and last time i checked my cdl said my name bot customer or usxpress. On top of that was cheating me out miles and taking money out my checks for their company expenses.
I been driving for 14 years and I went to Trans AM I used them to get my experience they used me. I am local and a shop Stewart at Keystone/NRS . Its how you play the game.
My starter company had 125% turnover , each quarter.
I work for Warner Enterprises. My issue I had was if you didn’t let your dispatcher know that that you had a family emergency and you had to get home you’d have to let your Dispatch know not the weekend dispatcher otherwise you weren’t getting home and that was the issue! I miss my uncle dying by like a week! I should’ve just told the company I’m giving you my 30 day. I’ll be back in 30 days which they had that at the time when I was there I don’t know if they still have that? I had to go back on the road later and load run around all 48. So I gave my two week notice. Well guess what almost 2 1/2 maybe three months later they got me home after my two week notice.
Bingo!!!
I like this episode! More of this please!
I got my cdl with manual and was looking for work but the pay wasn't worth leaving my current job
I am a retired 70 yo. I got my cdl, applied, and got hired by Western Express. The experience I "suffered" was horrendous. I testify to what was expressed in this video and disclose so much more
Even as a small box owner/operator. It's even hard for me to get a contract.. and certain companies want to completely low ball me. I came in with a blanket bid. Oh no.. I'm out of there price range... we can give u .70c a mile and $7.00 a drop. Are you fn.kidding me.
The company I drive for has orientation every Monday. It’s always 6-10 drivers in it. Every week.
