    For asking why are so many drivers hauling + unloading trailers by hand for $1000 a week

    I tried explaining that 10 years ago you could get $1000 a week just doing dry van, yet you got ppl arguing with me that the same pay 10 years later for over twice the work is ok

    wow

    yea, nothing will change my mind. This industry is damaged beyond repair.

    This forum is the closest I get to any kind of social media, I deal with enough idiots on the road, don't need more during my personal time. Life is much more peaceful without it.

    Bet you that the ones arguing against you probably have only been in this game since 2020 and think inflation ain’t real. Lol.

    i had a guy try to get me to go to work for him, bragging his truck was making $4000/week.
    I showed him where mine made 3600 in two days.
    Some people won’t ever get it.

    I couldn't agree more! This is the only social media site I am on as well, if it counts as a social media site.

    I have a fake FB account I use for being able to see what’s for sale on FB Marketplace

    that’s it

    Arguing with idiots on the internet is like wrestling with a pig in a
    Mud hole

    the pig loves it and has much more experience at it than you do .
