I signed on with Werner 2 years ago, and when the training was complete, they paid me $150 a week

ROFL. That's because you were working for a mom-and-pop outfit. Step up to the Big Leagues with JB Hunt or Swift and you'd be making some big cash.

I’ll bet you’re a recruiter. You sound just like one.

JB Hunt, Swift, Schneider, Werner - all of them pay crap. None of the bigger companies pay worth a darn.

The only way to make good money is a smaller firm, with un-governed trucks and a loose interpretation of the logs.

You cannot make decent money driving legal. I know - I’ve driven for over 20 years.

JB Hunt: Just Been Hired , Usually Not Trained
Yea, i want to go to work for one of the Good ol' boys from Arkansas, who tried to corner the silver market.Sorry-don't speak Haitian...so I won't be able to communicate with your off the boat drivers
SWIFT: Stop Whining,I'm F@&^ing Trying. Yeup-had to jump in a Swift truck once and back it into the dock for the man. He was a trainee, after just two weeks of training from being green, Swift sent him out solo...
