As I’ve stated before, I own a small to medium sized trucking company. Most of our loads come from load boards as we are not big enough to secure dedicated lanes with companies like Walmart, Purdue, Aldis, Target etc.
One of the brokers we work with out of Carnegie, PA (large) called me about a dedicated lane for Bridgestone tires from Allentown, main distribution center to Nashville. Apparently the LARGE carrier that has the contract is in breach of contract as they cannot find enough drivers. My DOT consultant also called me asking if I’d be interested in buying a business with 20-30 trucks in PA. I asked why the owner was selling and he said he cant find anyone to drive his trucks and payments, overhead, insurance are killing him. More to come.

I work for one of the largest LTL carriers. We cant get anyone to work. We have 400 loaded trailers sitting in our yard that we cant move. Im chasing hours ever week hitting my 70 hours by my 5th day on and chasing hours my 6th day in order to run city freight to help catch them up. Ill clear 112k this year.

112k this year.

That's enough money to live comfortably for sure, but what kind of life can you possibly be living if 70 hours a week is spent working?

Hmmmm. Now i know why the jew tag is given.

I see my kids everyday. I take vacations twice a year keep my kids busy with sports and clubs and playing musical instruments. They are well taken care of and i have a close nit family that we all help each other. The time i spend with family is all quality time and no one wants for everything. So id say i have a great life.
