    It’s all the same bs. The same alphabet soup companies telling you your values at a meager 45k a year average. Costs are up, pay is constantly going down. Do the math people. The companies think they have truck drivers over a barrel, but if that was true, then why the driver shortage? For example, JB Hunt back in the late 90’s wasn’t a bad company to work for UNTIL they hired the “terrible twosome” that came in and SLASHED driver benefits including per mile pay, fact! Those that were there when this occurred know who the two are Iam speaking of. They tried doing to their drivers what Lee Iacocca did with automaker’s. Told them their old pay was out and had them come back to a lower pay scale. Strong arm tactics out to screw, well, the ones keeping them in business. With meager pay and barely any benefits, these companies can ONLY blame themselves for the condition of the trucking industry.
