OTR trucking is not in the lowest 25. It must have came in at 26. :lol: Because it is number -1 OTR is too much of a rip off to even be considered for that horrible list. |
Well at $10.20 an hor I wasnt far of that list. :roll:
|
If you're barely making above the #25 on the list, you need to find a better carrier to drive for. I made 2.5x that much last year as a regional driver that's home every weekend.

I think the gas fumes are starting to get to Belpre......hes lost touch with reality....

Think about the hours spent in your truck with no overtime pay and you will see what he is talking about. Your time is like an hour glass, it should be worth something |

Yeah, that list was compiled with normal people that work 40 hours in mind. Not the senseless 80-100 hours that we deal with here. Folks donating their lives to greedy OTR carriers. What a shame. |
Evinrude, I drive OTR because I like being away. I dont have any kids at home anymore, nor a wife I have to worry about going out on me if I leave town for a week.
I make 4x #25 on the list before I even start the truck so I dont lack for anything. But thats me, i know not everyone else out there is in this position. You will never convince me to stop OTR and work local in Los Angeles, never. |
