Why do you feel you need to get paid for everything you do? I call it being greedy if you ask me. I don't get why you need to be paid to eat, sleep, or take a whiz and wipe using Charmin Ulta Soft! Whatever happened to people EARNING their living? It seems like most people want everything handed to them! In my opinion I don't think running local pays any better than otr, the only advantage I see is that your home everynight. If you do get paid more it's only a couple bucks extra versus otr, whoop di freaking do. I get sick and tired of a few members on here bashing otr drivers. Maybe they like running otr cause they like to travel or they want like being away from home while enjoying the freedom of doing what you want. Local doesn't offer that at all! I know I couldn't be a local driver, it'll be boring seeing the same ole thing day after day when I can make the same or a little bit more and see the entire country. No wonder why this country is going down the toilet along with the Charmin! You think it's bad that otr drivers don't get paid for everything they do but you know what wehould be blessed cause if you look at back at history there was jobs that were so dangerous they only paid like a couple cents or a loaf of bread or maybe they didn't pay you NOTHING! I suggest you look back at history and see the type of jobs people had to do that were similar to today's jobs and compare the pay they received then to the pay they received now! You should be thankful that you get a paycheck instead of a loaf of bread and cheese. That is just my .02 cents!

Go get a year OTR experience and THEN come back and tell us how you REALLY feel.

Count in for inflation the last 10 years and you are really are making .02 cents. Wages, adjusted for inflation, haven't increased since 1957.

You guys just make it seem like every otr company is out to screw their drivers over when that isn't entirely true. There are local companies who screw their drivers just as bad if not worse. But to blame an entire sector for being bad because of a few companies who choose to be scammers is just wrong. It's like you had bad experience with one plumber company that all plumbering companies and contractors are bad.

Go dig a post where I bashed someone for being an OTR driver. To each his own.

Yup.

Now, I'm going to go and pick apart your first post
