Keep up the good work, buddy
A discussion about truck driver wages without truck drivers present.
Where can I order that exact tension tool
They change the pay packages just to trick people. If you average 1600 a week by the mile, they introduce an hourly pay with "overtime" with rates for this and that and it sounds great, until you realize that it's set up for you to still end up averaging 1600. But then you find out that they set it up for you to have to work longer to hit that. You no longer get a good load that you can finish quick without losing money
Truck driving is so cut throat and back stabbing, I don't see many trying to be truck drivers once they get a taste of how messed up and sneaky truck driving companies are.
Great.. ill borrow a table next time im untarping at a receiver. Totally pointless video. Wasted my time.. and wasted another 30 seconds writing this... Smh 😒
If there is a live lesson on changing tires (removing and placing) on flatbed that's would be great! Thanks!
Hell I wanna drive for y'all just so I can raid that snack room.😂
What was the length of the tank?
I find it quicker and easier using a Midtronics battery diagnostics tester for battery , starting , and charging systems . The carbon pile load tester is still a valuable tool to use . Nice video !
About time
Hey college boys lets do a podcast 5 likes 👍 pencil necks😂
I’m on Texas Logs , so I run roughly 70-80 sometimes more if needed but I also get paid by the hour , I load milk into our tankers and then deliver them , , so it’s a timely task
Construction workers get overtime , but you don’t see the price of housing going up because they get overtime, it’s the honest and fair thing to do
I can ;-) go over my 70 every week and still not be able to afford a home to go to when I come off the road
This is why you need to get paid hourly..that way your always getting paid no matter what..it's sad when over the road drivers working for free half the day
I'm interested please
If it passed would you reduce the hourly rate to make your labor expense stay the same?
Their are laws in place where they can’t mess with what you currently get paid
@@AmericanUnderground Really? So you are saying companies never lower wages, rates, or salaries? They most certainly do.
@@MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell minimum wage is as low as they can go Many trucking companies have been successfully sued in court and required to pay drivers at least minimum wage
These bills were not meant to passed. They introduce bills late in the sessions knowing they’ll never get a vote before the session ends. But if it were to pass, the carriers will limit drivers to 40 hours. At 40 hours, their weekly pay would be far less.
more than likely, they'd just reduce the hourly rate to a level so that what a driver gets paid wouldn't be that different on average. If the average driver goes 600 miles a day at 50 cents a mile, they'd just pay everyone so that eight hours of straight pay and four hours of overtime pay each day equals to around $300.
@@bgbgbg123and no more running over your 70 because there would be no incentive

@@charleshanna2089 Really? With what part do you disagree?
@@MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell carriers cant meet demands or get enough drivers now Drivers working 40 hours a week wont get the loads moved to destination and there wont be any relay 2 drivers to move the same load the same distance is additional workers comp , benefits Social Security taxes and insurance liability
I'd think some overtime would be standard. especially for OTR. Its not a good use of time and resources to have someone drive from say Florida to California in 40 hours and then take two days off before taking another load back. For those two days, the driver is stuck in an unfamiliar city not getting paid and the truck is sitting there not being utilized. Even if they had to pay time and a half, it would still likely be more profitable for the company than not moving at all.
@@bgbgbg123 Carriers could use more lease contractors for the long range. Independent contractors are not subject to overtime laws. Then they can have employee drivers work 4 on, 4 off, slip seating the trucks. Labor costs would be close to the same but drivers would make far less.
What the Hell does everyone keep bringing up Time Sitting in a Dock. Most Drivers get Paid by the Mile or only when the wheels are Turning. Time is a Dock is OFF DUTY. Our clock is stopped so Overtime Pay will not effect how long we sit in a Dock unless we are Forced to be ON DUTY sitting in a Dock Door and that will effect how many mile we can drive and will cut our pay. Overtime Pay is Not the Answer and will end up Screwing the Driver.
That’s wrong entirely.
The hours of service are a safety regulation not a hour and wage regjlation
That's a good company boy..😅😂
Nah, bud. Time away from home is work. Period.
I want paid time immediately sitting at shippers and receivers. It would accelerate everything for everyone.
IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY!!! Dude on the right with the "drivers already do get it" sounds just like my 1st Mega Carrier Fleet Manager put on your shirt, ties, & shiny shoes on next time you know your regular office dress please😂 Leave the Carrier that don't pay overtime!!! There's PLENTY that DO!!! I've got less then a year & am making $32.70 hour O.T at +8hrs (68-70hrs $2500 avg wk.), Per Diem, $0 BC&BS, 17% Company contribution to anyone of 3 retirement plans With a sleeper on the truck if I'm out of range of my terminal I GO TO THE COMPANY PAID HOTEL!!!

I'm pretty sure freight trains have big diesel generators for motors
I don't know why UA-cam recommended me this video. Started watching. You guys are kinda' funny, but also don't know much about transportation, which used to be mostly electric, before Ford and his pals destroyed all electric transport, ~100 years ago. Tesla is starting with semi trucks, because it's the easiest segment to electrify. You just have to install chargers on major routes >250 miles apart (maybe ~150miles apart if there's significant elevation) and it's done. Every Tesla truck can now travel on those routes, fully loaded, takes 35 minutes to charge up. Where you have elevation it's a bit trickier, BUT if you make it to the top, you can regain most of the energy when you go down with regenerative braking (when an electric motor doesn't get power, it generates power)......etc.... you can look it up on google. 👍
Trask your handle is “Trina the sleeper leaper” 😂 Over and out
One thing that often gets forgotten about with “green technology” is the process of making the alternative fuel. Creating the electricity to charge that battery is still using fossil fuels. A good example is when ethanol first came out and they promoted it as green but at the end of the day it’s a net energy loss. You have to think about the entire process which includes a lot of fuel to make the corn to ethanol. What does that do to the food source/cost of food. Point being the entire process is often overlooked and really need to look at all energy/resources put into making a so called “green” product. Not saying I’m against green but it makes you think how green is a product with all things considered. It’s an interesting topic.
#electric. #tesla.
Yes!!!
Thanks for the Shout out Quinn 😀
For your Vocab ask the Guys what a "Cab over Pete with a Refer on" is
