    Default We're in the money!

    “It’s going to continue to be a long-term problem for the industry,” said Moyes. “We’ve got to find ways to make it a better job and to pay drivers more.”

    Swift Transportation president Jerry Moyes

    “At the end of the day, the job is what it is – driving a truck and being away from home,” added Quinn. “So [finding new drivers] will come down to how much we can pay them. I expect drivers are going to be making a lot more money.”

    Pat Quinn, co-chairman of U.S. Xpress Enterprises

    I'll believe it when I see it with those 2 in particular. It would sure be nice for drivers to get a pay increase, at the pay those 2 put out it's hard to have a home to go to unless you have some miles under your belt already.

    If you're in it for the money, that's one thing.
    If it's more for the lifestyle and the fact that living in one place isn't your thing, it wouldn't be too much of a biggie.
    But if it happens, both parties of thought win.
