Not just pay, but from what I hear, general working conditions. A driver should be able to expect to be paid for their time. If they’re told to drop a load somewhere and the receivers make them wait hours to unload, why’s that the driver’s problem? That’s just one example.

They expect people to take a job where they’re away from home on the road for weeks on end, living in a sleeper and eating at truck stops, and to do it for peanuts?

I don't know how they'd get away with that. If that's true, they obviously think the drivers time is worth zip zero.
