Looks like the driver shortage is starting to bite, at least in the US anyway.

$87,500 a year…

That’s £66,550. Yet we’re still arguing over 20-30k.

Yeh yeh, you gotta be out for months on end for that and live on the road etc but it’s where our money should be.

I used to make that amount per year at Wal Mart on a 5 day work week. My average days pay was 244 English pounds. They caused their own driver shortage by eliminating a lot of schedules so a lot of drivers left to go elsewhere or retire like me. They thought they would be able to replace them by paying new drivers less money but only 1 or 2 applied so they put the money back up and went on a big hiring spree. Drivers got a raise last month so now new drivers are applying in droves, all it takes is money $$$$$$
