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.

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

Problem #1: It's estimated that approximately 20% of truckers in the U.S. are immigrants (many using false I.D. to obtain a CDL). Problem #2: Industry and safety standards are not being properly enforced. It's too easy to obtain a CDL and bad drivers are not being dealt with, which is why we have so many ignorant drivers with bad attitudes. Bad drivers force rates down and push good drivers out. Bad companies force rates down and push good companies out. Companies and drivers with below standard safety score should be shut down. DOT is inept. Problem #3: DOT regs have become too complex. Real safety rules that are very important are watered down by the thousands of nonsense rules that serve no real purpose. Problem #4: EPA regs have destroyed diesel engines. Massively increased purchase price and service cost, massively diminished reliability and eliminated the ability for owner/ops and small companies to repair their own equipment, forcing them to pay $200 dollar per hour shop labor and destroyed trade in value. It is also the reason diesel costs more than gasoline. Before the ultra-low sulfur rule and the creation of biodiesel; diesel was cheaper than gas, I'm sure some of you remember this.

Addressing your (#1) point. In 2024 foreign born drivers significantly outnumber American drivers (who are predominately 40-60 years old and played out/ rendered useless) by a margin of 75%(+/-/+) to 25%(-/-). I deliver from TX to TN, KY and GA at dozens of mixed freight customers. From Oct 2023 to present, I've noticed and now keep tab that of 10 trucks at a given customer or Loves/TA/Speedco repair, 8 are foreigners with at least 3 of those not speaking acceptable American English. The trucking industry, including brokers and warehousing, are all predominately foreigners. Rates will not go back up until there is a desperate need of drivers by the shipper.

Ok, so I’m gonna help you understand this. All of this is about Trump’s screw ups and his Tariffs, and COVID had some things to do with 2022, as well. So, prior to 2022 (excluding 2020, obviously), we companies were making a killing, and it was basically a situation where someone would call for a quote, we quoted, and immediately got the work. Then, Trump put in these ridiculous tariffs that have everything so expensive right now, which didn’t start until Biden’s Presidency. COVID happened, which halted shipments. Immediately after COVID, 2022 was INSANE…rates were sky high, folks were calling and begging me to do work, willing to pay me absolutely any amount I wanted for two reasons: 1. The COVID halt had demand very high, and 2. More importantly, all the shippers were trying to rush shipments in before Trump’s tariffs officially kicked in. 2023…BAM…hit us companies like a tons of bricks! They began requesting…no, DEMANDING “all in” rates, at amounts significantly lower than the lowest amount I’ve ever seen, IN HISTORY! Now, a huge issue is during the 2022 rush, tons of folks went out & opened a business, and when the 2023 demands came in, all those folks said “yes” to the ridiculous demands, instead of understanding proper pricing and the costs associated with running the business. So, now, we’ve got many of those folks who went right back out of business, but these mega carriers who hire owner operators who know better than to agree to those ridiculous terms have decided to offer them while ripping off the owner operators. The situation has absolutely nothing to do with most companies nor anything other than Trump’s Tariff’s creating a terrible situation and new carriers & the mega carriers who hire owner operators being stupid enough to say “yes”. Trump’s tariffs MUST cease ASAP, and the Owner Operators working for these mega carriers simply need to quit. It is very easy to fix the rates…we simply have to say “NO” to the bull$hit demands, but too many inexperienced folks and dumb owner operators saying “yes” is keeping the rates down.

I make a thousand a week after taxes going forward on the interstate for 10 hours every night and I get to save all of it. I understand this is not feasible for everyone, at least not long term, but if you can make arrangements to do that for only two years or so, you'll have life changing money at the end of it, assuming you work for a halfway decent company and you don't spend $50 a day on junk food and reserved parking.

Mega carriers don’t have 4 drivers per truck. I worked at CR England and Covenant and all the mega carriers do is force a team up. CR England had a driver ready to go in every corner of the country and Covenant being smaller forced drivers to wait in their HQ in Chattanooga Tn. With two drivers their trucks run 22 hrs a day with breaks and driver changes. There’s also private ELD providers outside of the US that actually fix the clocks of small trucking contractors. However mega carriers don’t utilize this. They prefer the legal route because they are the ones benefiting from it. At the same time there are those who I call Illinois companies that cut the prices, put one driver per truck and force them to run double shifts. I got into an accident working with one of them and now I can’t drive anymore due to my record.

[@Robert-bt8cp]

Good Morning, Excellent video. I started in 96’, made more money in 99’, than many company drivers make nowadays. I do believe the mega-carriers are going to have a problem hiring drivers relatively soon for the reasons you stated. We have many problems in our industry and the regulations are out of control and only going to become worst and more costly to small trucking companies. I believe the ELD mandate was more for the, “control”, because if I control someone’s time I own them. Also if an entity regulates your time they also control your income. The ELD has actually done the opposite and allowed drivers more time and control of their clock vs paper. Remember with paper you have to log in 15 min increments and the ELD allows you to log in real-time. The speed limiter rule will ruin/alter the trucking industry for the small carriers and owner operators forever. This will be the most catastrophic regulation to do date. The speed limiter will do what many hoped the ELD would accomplish and that is control your time. The ELD was sold to everyone that it was a safety measure needed in our industry, not true. The ATA and mega-carriers want to eliminate competition from small carrier or single operators, the ELD hasn’t worked, hence the speed limiter regulation to come soon. Most regulations in our industry have nothing to do with safety, hell most scales are closed 50% of the time. If it was truly about safety the scales would never close nationwide. If you’re young stay away from trucking not worth it anymore, trucking is a bottom feeder job at best. Stay safe.

[@jimgraves6464]

Well spoken.

[@Na0uta]

My biggest issue with driving was the electronic logs that automatically update if you move the truck. It leaves zero room for moving the vehicle and can make getting home on time impossible. If you move more then 5 mph. It automatically puts you back on the time clock. Which resets your rest timer that's 10 hours long. And most companies you deliver to won't let you sit on the dock to finish a break. But take 6 to 9 hours to unload you when you got there 10 min early for your appointment. So now you not only lost the full day rest time but you also lost shift time. And have to sit and wait another 10 hours and also risk going over on shift time. They have a split rest time as well. But you have to do either 7-8 hours or 2-3 hours. And it won't give you your full time back. Meaning you just have to stop early for your next drive.
