UNPAID LABOR - TRUCKING

There is a 120% turnover rate in trucking because companies all lie about pay. Few drivers make over $50,000 per year for being gone 2 months on the road. Many only earn 20 or $30k per year because lies about pay.

Trucking is slavery. Companies push UNPAID LABOR, waiting around for days unpaid. Congress says no pay by the hour, unique to trucking. Companies recruit foreigners who will drive UNPAID for days at a time.

Just google the AVERAGE TURNOVER rate in trucking. A companies ENTIRE workforce leaves each year, plus more.

There is a lot of truth to that, but many drivers can and do make the big bucks they never have time to spend.

The divorce rate is high too. $90K/year is pretty cheap for 70-80 hours per week.

And in places like CA, what is 50k after taxes? 30k, 37k? Absurd!
