LITERALLY SHAKING posted:And truck drivers only make what the road allows. Most start with companies paying $0.30-0.40/mile. Get hung in traffic for a day and burn all your hours trying to crawl a hundred miles, and you ain't making dick for the day, let alone averaging minimum wage. For some OTR, minimum wage might be a pay increase.  This never happens. I work in logistics and if you only make it 100 miles in 10 hours you're a loving liar and blew your entire fuel advance on cocaine and got the cops called on you because the GPS on your truck shows you haven't moved in 24 hours from a truck stop just outside of St. Louis.Don't ask.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:Atlanta any time it rains more than a quarter inch or is remotely near freezing. I live in Atlanta. Our roads eat us. There's a reason trucks can't go inside the perimeter unless the have a pickup or delivery. They also cancel freight due to weather. They don't say, man traffic is bad, better allow a 30 hour transit for this 400 mile load!

And I totally get that facilities blow rear end and you can sit not moving for hours burning your clock, but if your carrier doesn't pay detention to their own loving drivers and you aren't and owner op,  you don't have to drive Swift. Drive for a good company.

Hey guys! I've been avoiding this very thread because I just can't loving quit reading about depressing poo poo. I come back, and get to watch a cop murder someone. COOL! I voted for the white guy in Georgia, and not the white lady. It's me, I'm the patriarchy.
