There is no driver shortage, there are to many truck drivers on the road that’s why rates are so shitty
Also because Brokers have no incentive to pay the drivers more
Make these canadian and mexican drivers go back across the borders when they come in to deliver their loads, instead of letting them go all over the country to pick up and deliver as they please.
Do you have to go Tru a broker
@wilfredoWilleFaz I haul direct from mobile to Atlanta and back everyday, off on the weekends, drop and hook on both ends, I got better rates 10 years ago, I am still doing OK, but there are two many truckers out there today, that’s what keeping the rates low
Rates are crappy from all the foreigners driving loads for nothing.
The electronics and cameras make company driving absolutely miserable.
If they pay better then it’s not bad as a local hourly driver. It’s not fun but it’s a manageable good paying career. Just relax and stay back. No need to tailgate or run fast. Slow down and enjoy it. It’s not for cowboys or outlaws anymore that’s for sure.
@@CatholicForge its people exactly like you that have ruined the industry. Just comply. You are pathetic like most drivers now.
@@archiewilson4943 one company I used to want to work for. They told me during the interview, they will automatically fire you if the cam shows while driving, you use or TOUCH ELD,phone, headsets.
My co has cameras, records non stop, literally beeps if I just get a drink of water,I hate everything about trucking
@@davidmcdaniel5929 you’re at the wrong company. That’s horrible I would definitely quit.
Dude you spoke exactly what’s going on. I’m really impressed someone did their proper research. Keep up what you are doing man. I love seeing this
We Need hackers that know how to shutdown these nanny cams. It just creeps me out that there is a camera 2 feet away from my face when you get into a truck cabin.
Shortage would lead to higher pay, that by itself proves there’s no shortage.
There is a shortage of Qualified drivers, I’m a former OTR refrigerated driver who can drive a manual transmission truck and who did it Before gps came out, Oh,and I’ve never rolled or topped a truck.
No shortage of qualified drivers , a shortage of suckerswho will work for peanuts who DO NOT speak ENGLISH. DON’T GIT IT TWISTED . Go work for WE ARE DIX TRUCKIN…
@@RiverRatWA57elaborate on qualifications?
@1lowtrade Being able to read and understand English would be a good start.
Actually being able to competently operate a Semi would help as well.
@@RiverRatWA57 looks like youre speaking about foreigners who come here without education or care for public safety
Meh!
There’s no driver shortage, there’s a shortage of companies that care about their drivers.
U not lying about that. I’m sitting 2 hours away from my house and can’t go home and my route for the week is done
@@1109Harmony I would totally go home lol.
@Libertad59 i really wish I could. They told me I can’t leave the truck there’s a camera in here and I have 4 kids at home
@@1109Harmony
Time to be finding a new company. I’ve been out here OTR since 2000. If it’s 2 things I’ve learned is: if you’ve got a yr OTR, you can go to 96% of the companies, and, never take a step backwards or sideways when you move jobs. ALWAYS a step forward. ALWAYS!
Absolutely
You failed to mention the drivers that don’t read, write, speak or comprehend English. They don’t care how much they’re paycheck is, just as long as they get one
How do they get their CDL if they can read or speak english?
*can’t
There are apparently trucking “schools” that are literally just handing them out for the $$. Looks Iike everyone is being paid off at every level.
It’s against the law to drive a truck and not read or write English and that’s the law !!! If you don’t believe look it up , I was told this years ago .
This kind of jerk is killing every industry. The immigrants
Ain’t no driver shortage there’s shortage of pay
Absolutely agree with it.
right on
Shortage of feeling respected, listened to and NOT betrayed. Pandemic? Certainly a national problem but spotty bright exceptions need sunlight.
Contrast computer programming, software tech workers 10 years ago to today with truck drivers of the 70s and today .
Compare pharmacists (was BS now mostly PharD and MD) of the 70s-80s to today .
Eg the golden years of being a Kaiser PERMANENTE physician (not Kaiser Hospital or Kaiser Health plan or non physician non upper management) to today.
Surgery at Kaiser may be a best buy if you get the right team (sooooo much experience and numbers of procedures too) but NO two Kaisers are alike. People often avoid nearby facilities for ones much further away because they like it better for many reasons.
Look at CVS today compared to ANY SUCCESSFUL community pharmacy today and 40 years ago.
Once THE Frontline GO TO FIRST relatively free medical advice and treatment.
Its practically illegal to do compounding of any drug UNLESS its entirely suits the likes of Pfizers, PBM and insurance oligopolies. Even promotion of services can be career ending.
The online scam pharmacies simply overwhelm the Boards of Pharmacy.
Yet why respect that profession or trust them or MDs. They can’t protect their profession and they can’t follow their oath, law or standards of practice or tradition. THEY let the military, wall street and political parties DICTATE what is and is not acceptable care for flu. In fact THEY caused and promoted the worst medical experiment in human history and largely failed to support THEIR OWN whenever they stood up (unless privately, hush tones and off record and out of public awareness)
Privacy? Forget it.
What’s not done now by shady people on line or over a phone bypassing most checks, balances and intimacy within medicine.
Patient physician trust? Forget about it . THEY likely don’t KNOW you or want to. Practice by plausible deniability.
THEY move to profit. Dermatology, vanity medicine, Pelosi style – Gilkuam’s Brazil cosmetic surgery wasting our best surgery services to $$$ vain .
The entire diabetes scam against children requires Pediatricians, obstetrics and their popularized association, like American Pediatric, to prove they deserve a job at all . Obviously they didn’t protect children enoughas xs and sudden end of life stats show
MIA in GOOD public health policy.
Healthcare is this rotten thus ANY other industry as profitable is likely worse.
IMHO, et al
Break up PBM and distribution oligopolies McKesson, Cardinal & Bergen.
McKesson is key to all drug scandals like opiates, generic frauds, price fixing, pay to play and collusion with Pharma, PBMs and major HMOS.
DEA? There best attorneys and defenders against things like narcotic abused by Johnson & Johnson and Purdue WORK for them now. The DEA was key to perpetual amphetamine (ADD kids, adults) and opiate abuse and over prescription.
The e patent process for drugs has been corrupted 6 ways to Sunday, as it is elsewhere where big $$$ and innovation is concerned.
There’s not a shortage of pay. These immigrants are doing everything for pennies and now the economy is throwed off. Why pay more when you can you pay these foreigners less?? The competition is to great
Half of last year.
There’s no overall driver shortage. It’s just a shortage of drivers who are willing to run cheap freight.
You should elaborate some.
Migrants taking jobs and working for less, much less
@@JeremiahMolyneauno
Lmao new drivers that dont know what the pay should be. And people coming from other countries.
@@JeremiahMolyneaumost companies /drivers owner op cant survive with these rates
Were not short on drivers. People quit because its a shitty paying job and a fucked up one at that. The problem is keeping them.
Yep no lie I went into debt being a truck driver the last two years. My highest check was $900 and I only saw that a couple times. My average check was $300 to $600 for the week. If I didn’t have a house or a truck to pay for then it would be a great gig. If I was homeless starting out then I’d have $300 and a roof over my head. But I have a mortgage and a truck payment.
@BigRigJeffro where do you live and what company did you work for? Here in Jersey we have local positions paying 100k plus.
@@BigRigJeffro yeah your not making anything unless your putting in 60 hours + a week.
It all fun and games until you get a ticket.
Nobody wants to drive north east. I live in fl, and my checks are about the same as the guy above me. Plus cost of living makes north east worse than earning less and living in the south were it’s way cheaper to live.
Thought this would get me out of homelessness. Now Im some sort of indentured slave.
You are bad with money. Probably on a lease program
@johnnycray4427 No. I had 2 surgeries and a few trips to the er. The bills ruined my chance at schooling which I owe but have no way of returning. I wanted to be a prosthetist
@@zeroshepard9513 my apologies, hope you are doing well. God bless 🙏
@zeroshepard9513 I’m homeless now and I’m working a full time job. Because of all the fines and tickets I got when I was young I can’t afford to do anything. ..hopefully things change after my 11th month…itnshpuld all be paid off by than
Indentured slave is the program for everyone. Nothing angers the institutions more than people with no need for their crap. Crap being debt, poor health.
Get language test mandated for all cdl holders. Rates will go up significantly.
Then you would only have Canadian drivers!!
They are supposed to be doing that now. It is a Law that you must be able to read, write and communicate in English to hold an Interstate CDL job. Intrastate is up to the State. The problem isn’t that there isn’t a Law that regulates this, it’s that it isn’t enforced like so many others.
And passport holders
@@KadiddlehopperClemmost Canadian Driver can’t speak English either😂😂
@@tony6796si
I’ve been a truck driver now for over 28 years and I’ve been hearing this for years,there’s no driver shortage!
There is a qualified driver shortage.
There is actually a tremendous driver shortage. It got really bad in about 2018-2019, and continues to get worse.
@@shanesanders4730 where are you getting your info from?
@@shanesanders4730If that was true, rates would be high due to supply and demand.
I KNOW THE DRIVER SHORTAGE IS A LIE!!!! There are actually MORE trucks on the road today than EVER!!
I’ve been an owner operator since 1982. What this man says is true. I got trucking in my blood in the early 1970s when I got a job at a local trucking company washing trucks doing oil changes grease jobs all around anything the old guys would teach me I would do. I remember well deregulation and I remember a lot of good drivers retired or quit by the early 90s. Even Schneider ( which was Schneider trucking before deregulation) was a union firm. There was a genuine driver shortage around the time they changed the license from a chauffeurs license ( which I started out with) to a CDL. But then the mega carriers just started training and putting out inexperienced drivers every day. You can still make a living as an owner operator but you have to have a niche market that mega carriers don’t go after. But with the new mandates and soon to be speed regulation ect I will honestly say I’m glad I can retire soon because it’s not the job even I started out in
Maga carriers give an opronity to new drivers you ones were an unexpirence driver back then. That the thing that the experience driver forget that they were unexpirence before.
Unfortunately that is happening with all industries the more the government and One World Government is getting involved.Look at the medical industry?I would not advise anyone to go into the medical profession now because they can’t do what is needed for their patients because of too many rules, regulations and protocols! The government is ruining everything!
You have multiple pages of documents to fill out now and weeks of waiting just to get a septic tank permit!There’s too much government overreach and the only way we are finding this out is by people like this on the internet and the government is now wanting to highly regulate the internet!
One look at ANY truck stop or rest area at dusk tells you the answer to whether there’s a driver shortage. Lol.
Shortage Of Parking!NOT Drivers

Outstanding. People can all relate to the familiar delivery trucking machines but need to know what THEIR perspective, needs and why that matters to THEIR quality of life and justice.
There is no driver shortage corporations just have to slow down their growth they’re not allowed to just grow whatever way they want and make demands for more population that is not acceptable they have to only grow within the parameters of what is sustainable for the indigenous people of the land that procreate that’s it
The flood of foreign drivers that speak or read no English is the biggest problem
Half of Trumpers can;t read
I drove back in the 90s and early 2000 .
Back then it was the flood of all the mill workers where Regan, Bush , and Clinton had enacted NAFTA and all the manufacturing jobs went over seas . Occasionally you might see 3 or 4 Mexicans all piled up in an old 2nd Werner truck out west .
I do not miss that life at all
Sounds like if monkeys can do your job you don’t deserve higher wages.
The blaming of blacks and foreign drivers is really played out. The problem is a certain type of amerikkkan trusts the Republican Party to take care of them by constantly uttering racist rhetoric and hating others, when those same folks are the main ones ripping off the small guys and sending all of those jobs overseas all together! There is no “trickle down” economics…the top is just taking all the money and keeping it, and too many amerikkkans think being racist against anyone not white is the answer. How is that working out for yah? It aint working…only gettting worse! Stop blaming your failures on blacks and other minorities and learn the finger pointing to others without white skin is your primary problem.
If your “English” speaking slaves are not willing to do it for less, then don’t blame when they bring in slaves that don’t speak the language and willing yo work for much less.
I was an owner operator, this is the most thankless job on the Earth. Besides cleaning latrine. Dispatchers are A-holes,the bookies are stealing from the drivers. And the drivers get blamed for all the mistakes dispatchers make. They can all eat it. I ran for 20 years,zero infractions,road and scale.They pushed out the best,that’s for sure.
