The trouble with the large fleets is they will do anything they have to so they can get the contract. I worked for Henderson Trucking as my last company. I loved their policy about a driver duties it is get the load there if the reciver tells you to unload ti hire a lumper. In everyone of their contracts it states all unloading costs will be payed by the reciver of the goods. They made my job easy I could run all night to get that floor load there and then catch some real good sleep while the lumpers unloaded that 4000 cases of frozen dinners, [/quote] You where above average on income and not working for any of the large LT carriers like Schneider National, Swift or the like. However, if you were making 45 K a year gross, what was your taxable income?, What made you quit the industry. This is much larger than the average "blue collar" salary these days in most parts of the USA? Jimmy B [/quote] What made me retire was losing my medical card. In 2000 I devolped adult onset epilepsy. I am now on SS do to that it sucks give me my cash. Out of 45K gross my net was in the area of 38 grand now I get 15K a year talk about a pay cut. [/quote] Just out of curiosity, how many miles and how many hours did you put in a year to get your $45k per year? Don't need an exact figure, maybe ballpark it.
