In the video it's explained the average pay for a truck driver, after going through the school, is about 45k.

Yes, but probably difficult to fill since pot is legal in many states. How many potential drivers are banned, rightfully so, for their drug usage?

“In the video it’s explained the average pay for a truck driver, after going through the school, is about 45k.”

Just cut out the antiquated practice of “busing”, then it will resolve itself.

A trucker today is a paperwork pusher for the government who happens to drive a truck.

[faithhopecharity]

the pay can be incredibly, astronomically high....

but i think the problem recruiting may be... that people are concerned about self-driving vehicles (or drone deliveries?)

I personally can’t see big semis barrelling along the highways without trained drivers behind the wheels

but there’s been a ton of pulicity about it coming soon...
so maybe people are taking other kinds of jobs instead?

I’m drug free, with a clean driving record, and want to drive long haul for a couple years when I give up my day job. I know, I know. Crazy. Why would I want to do that? Not for the money. Not sure why I want to, but I just do. I’ve always wanted to do it. I like to drive and think it would be a fun way to spend a couple years. Unfortunately, I’m DQ’d because of an ICD. Sucks. I’m less likely to drop with it in then some of those long haulers on the road.

Oh well, guess I will just sit on a beach and let those other long haulers bring me stuff ordered on Amazon. haha

Elvis started out as a truck driver and within a few years, he was a multi-millionaire. I'm surprised more didn't follow in his footsteps.
