No, dedication isn’t common at all, in almost any aspect of the average Americans life. Not just work. Few people have it, which is what makes this so sad
Every year for the past 20 years have had trucking companies closing. There are hundreds of thousands of truck companies closing and there are hundreds of thousands of trucking companies opening as well! Just stop by any truck stop in the US and see how packed they are with trucks!
More trucks on the road don’t mean more money. LESS trucks mean more money. More trucks= too much supply Less trucks = high demand. Less trucks= $5 a mile. Too many trucks= $1.25 a mile
Raven out of Jacksonville Florida just shut down that’s 57 drivers and some office staff. So I’m guessing Landstar and JB Hunt will try and pick up those local contracts
I’m sorry for the drivers and companies who are suffering. Luckily, I’m doing very well. Better than last year. The market is bigger than ever and there are more than enough loads. Unfortunately, some try to get their freight shipped for far less than usual and most often even less than what it costs to move it. The only way to move up, is to refuse those loads. Only move freight when it’s profitable.
You just haven't been knocked off your highorse yet 😉 there are 10,000 illegal immigrants that can do exactly what you do for 80% less pay than what you demand. They're not just van or reefer only, they're starting to run flat, tanker, and oversize too 😳
How is this possible? I've been with Raven Transport for 18 years, 2.5 million safe miles, driver of the year awards, even collected their $5,000.00 longevity bonus....the terminal he could not recall was in Greensboro NC, then was relocated to Eden, NC. How is it I do not know, nor do I believe I've ever met him? Guess I've been too busy to meet everyone....well, I WAS too busy. Not so much now...ticktock...ticktock 06/30
They wasn't being real,,they were giving you a 90 day notice so your not eligible for unemployment..the country is falling apart its not only trucking. We need to stop giving our money away to other country's, and vote in a different administration!! Much love drivers!
Yeah vote the loony back in, so he can keep his promise on fixing the roads. Oh wait, he already made that promise but didn’t keep it and now the other one is doing it. Don’t be fooled by his promises, he has a long history of making many but keeping none.
All these companies shutting down but the truck stops are still full of trucks and I'm still not finding a parking after 4 pm, i still see trucks parked on shoulder and exit ramps and the interstates are still full of trucks.
A lot of people don’t realize that many ( not all ) of the first companies to go out are the ones paying their guys the best. I had to close my business because I couldn’t honor what I was paying my guys with what logging rates where getting to. I told them I’d rather them work for a bigger company than me pay them that cheap…
90 days? If a trucking company told you "we will be out of business in one year" where would you go? Cause the next one you go too is less than a month and to the curb you go. Why? Why the wait? Are you waiting on another 550 million dollar parking lot package from the U.S. Senate? Waiting on another 240,000 dollar truck that won't go 90 days without an idiot light coming on? Another "EQUITY" buy out from another company to buy you out and save you? What are they gonna do when that happens? They gonna tighten the screws on everyone until that buy out is paid back to the new owner and your old boss walks away with millions. THAT is the curb. Jo-Jo just drove up 24 across the border in Pharr and got his load and drive back across. He didn't pay shit. You on the other hand jumped thru hoops on your company application to get hired just to get your job for one day. One scratch and you are butt-screwed. His owner is in Caracas, same as yours. Arnold, Celadon, Lessor, Carroll Fulmer twice, Raven, Palmer. Everyone of us can name a hundred more. What hoop did you jump thru to have a fuel card shutdown. You better save a chunk of foam rubber from that old bed mattress cause that curb gets hard as hell. Change The Business Model. I don't care what you NOW or how many years you have driven. This is a keyboard ninja screwing and it is industry wide. Age and experience won't matter. Who next?
$859.00 before taxes to run local from Jacksonville - Orlando - Savannah or South Carolina with a Class A license was the reason a position like this was always available. You’re better off driving a trash truck or a Mixer truck and not have to leave the city at all. Leave those Raven trucks parked right under the overpass by the Maxwell house where they belong.
Okay 50 years in the trucking business, this is normal. Been through this RESET in the industry about 3 times. I worked for UPS so it didn’t affect me but many trucking companies went out of business. This reset in 2023 and 2024 applies to all business in the USA. Hopefully it will not last long.
@@jonmccormick8683 United Parcel Service is in the process of a multi multimillion dollar upgrade of their Hubs. Just build a huge hub in PA. A Super Hub. Many will have to relocate or look for another job. Many jobs will be cut due to new technology. The Baltimore Hub will be closed for some time as this Hub will be updated. This will happen throughout the US and yes this new technology will result in loss jobs.
@@Stavros1977even if the drivers are still in a truck driving down the road with a load, but with a different name on the door? I know it’s good for mega carriers tho
It’s a scary, sickness type of throwing up feeling when we Men and I mean us hard working drivers don’t have work. Specially those who are the sole breadwinner that have family who depend on us.
Is crazy how people blame everything to the government trucking companies goes out of business all year around but just because we put some body else in office it doesn’t mean is going to stop, that’s why don’t waste all your strength and energy been a simple company driver for so many years make your own business we as truck driver that’s the reason we should be driving for our own business and not anybody else. Be strong and be smart be a leader not a sheep
remember when the Okla flatbed company shut down without warning and told it's hundreds of drivers to take their truck to the nearest freightliner dealer and to find their own way home?
Somebody give this driver a job.He cares.people who truly care for others are worth their salt.everyone should have a job.our government is responsible for the companys and businesses closing their doors.voting matters.how many others will loose their jobs before its over or will it end?awsome interview. Thank You Sir.
Just like any other type of business. If you’re taking business that pays less than it costs to operate, you eventually run out of money and will go bankrupt. With doing what they do, they first drag down the rest of the market too. when companies just refuse to move loads that are not profitable, the business will improve. Unfortunately, some already ran out of time and they are just trying to survive as long as they can. In 2019 a record number of trucking companies went bankrupt with over 640 in just the first half of the year alone. After that the business was booming during the pandemic. So much so, that some thought they could invest more than they should have, some took over competitors that they shouldn’t have, and some grew faster than they should have. A lot of those already went under, or about to go under. They are taking some companies with them, that existed for a long time but didn’t have enough cash reserves to wait out until the market improves.
When you have a fleet of trucks with monthly payments you are sucked into the cheap freight market like a vacuum cleaner. Most likely due to poor business decisions as you stated earlier but the damage is already done. I think brokers are destroying the market also.
At least they gave a notice. But honestly theres too many flip floppers, foreigners and visa migrants taking cheap freight at $22 and a half eaten sandwich. Too much cheap labor to turn a profit in todays market...
What the government needs to break up these big truck driving company. They have ruined this industry. And come down hard on the one taking advantage of all new driver. If that ever happened there would be a better class of drivers. Less fatalities on American road way. This gentleman you had is a professional driver not just a trucker. I wish him well on his new job. Be safe
My cousin works for them. He told me they were closing down. He told me last week and they advised him that if another job opportunity comes up to take it. He said he enjoyed his work there.
@patriciabandeko3842 they have so many class action lawsuits against them that it's unreal. My husband was looking to drive for them until we checked into them. When we saw that, he decided against it.
I'm from Oklahoma and I'm in Florida(weather great here)right now.I swear it seems like I'm literally by the Mexican U.S.A. border right now cause there ARE so many 18 wheelers here.I was thinking maybe they are transporting goods out of the state through ships but I don't know!🚛
Hazmat, flatbed (plus all various types) seem to still be doing well. Am I wrong? I feel like there will be mass layoffs for fuel haulers if Democrats stay in office, but right now, we’re alright.
With the price of gas going up and the way farmers are being treated: this comes as no surprise. We need to get rid of inflation: so both businessman and worker can thrive 😊
Inflation won’t end until the fed collapse on its own debt or the government cuts the hell out of spending and starts paying that 30 something trillion back. The second will hurt for a while but be good in the long run for everyone. The first will probably be hell on earth. Whoever does the spending cuts needed will be the most hated person by all sides. That’s why no one probably will. The rich and politicians will benefit more from printing till it collapses and then they can play on the average persons ignorance, make up all kinda lies to make people believe in their new “solution” to all our problems. great reset here we come!!
Don't feel bad driver I drove for Roadway and they sold out to Yellow in 2004 I hot out of YRC and then Yellow now I drive for Bullfrog or ABF. Big R was one the best to drive fir in the USA
Trucking is a bust. Regardless of how many trucks you own, the freight you haul, how much money you have set back. Blind trucking will leave on the curb 7 states away w/a thousand dollar credit card that won't get a rental to go across the street and rentals don't take cash or a bank card. Your shit will go into a grabage dumpster or you wan't go grayhound either. Take your truck to the nearest terminal...where does that leave you? You better think, people? What is fine today is bust tomorrow. The bankrupted owner is eating steak fills up and rolls on. You and me? Need a back scratcher and a seating pad cause that curb get hard as f--k. Change The Business Model. Or Istanbul wins this nation with 50 more countries standing in line to take it. It's working.
Dam America, what's happening to the American dream. Seems to be getting farther and farther away from the average American. Massive layoffs everywhere...SMH
So many things are hurting the trucking industry right now. The industry has always had thin margins to work with even in good times. A sign of the times I guess.
The global markets/consumers/businesses/companies/municipalities/organizations/entities will always need products & services….demand goes up and down all the time!!!!#GetInWhereYouFitIn or #ChangeTheGame&Elevate…#FutureLooksBright---#PBD
When one company buys another company hang on to your shirt because the driver always looses ask the boy's who stayed to the end with Yellow and Holland and USF hroup. They didn't get there vacation pay or suck days but tge top CEOs git 4 million bonuses for shutting down Yellow Freight and screwed there company people out there retirement. I worked there a total of 24 years starting with Roadway to YRC to Yellow Freight

Get local, get payed by hour, don't own a truck it's not worth it, don't do long haul either the companies will cheat you in miles the Canadian government will cheat you in taxes.
This is what makes me mad. We've got a president and his clown show trying to say the economy is booming. Best ever. More jobs. More money. Everything is great. But in reality we're all taking hits. Is there anyone left who believes these lies?
We currently live in clown world for sure. It’s pure insanity and absolutely devastating for many of us. Billions for foreigners but nothing for us. It’s all intentional.

Welcome to the jungle of the trucking industry that's getting smaller every day. It will get worse every yr going forward as more companies fold up and close there doors
He doesn't but you're a midwit so I'd expect stupid from you but since you're probably a Biden supporter and can't see the forest for the trees I'll let you in on a little secret, there is a recession happening and it's hitting the trucking industry pretty hard.
Why did you work for a yard without a union? Why did you earn less than six figures? Answer to both is - because driver is being an idiot. Sure, he will have tough time. he should had not been working for a yard without a union, and not having work life balance. Not sorry at all.
Ole boy Bigg Tim needs to change his name to Jelly Bean! 😂😂 He planned for this. This shows that drivers are responsible for themselves. Quit blaming companies. Business is bitter.
No one plans to cut their own throat. All of us get out here and work the best we can to put in the longevity to have something to fall back on. We move freight. Wet dry cold liquid heavy food clothes we all move it. No one expects their ass to be on the curb 7 states away with a 1,000 dollar credit card that wont get you across the street, cash not accepted and your shit tossed in a garbage dumpster because greyhound will not take it all. Regardless of what you make. Regardless of what you own. Regardless of how many you have. Regardless of your bank roll set back. Trucking is busted for everyone until this business model changes... Regardless of freight or administration, Trucking is a bust.

@@anthonyyoung6433 wow. I didn’t know that. I guess they will soon be all over the US.
Why would you cry about a job when you already handpick jobs you want to go to. Boycott ny. Lol
Get local, get payed by hour, don't own a truck it's not worth it, don't do long haul either the companies will cheat you in miles the Canadian government will cheat you in taxes.
Dam they hung in there for years
I work for Raven and it’s a shit show , they are blaming everyone but themselves
This is what makes me mad. We've got a president and his clown show trying to say the economy is booming. Best ever. More jobs. More money. Everything is great. But in reality we're all taking hits. Is there anyone left who believes these lies?
We currently live in clown world for sure. It’s pure insanity and absolutely devastating for many of us. Billions for foreigners but nothing for us. It’s all intentional.
Bidenomics 🤷🏽♂️
Purposely destroying the country so his personal allies grow economically (China) with the rise of all these Chinese, super cheap, almost free, websites that you can buy ANYTHING from its disgusting and everything is garbage quality
Smh bring El Trumpo back
whats gojng on in trucking are things just going down
they are a very big compnay for fec railway
If you're a good driver it's not hard to find a job
Sell out, now there strictly containers now..
I hope my company isn't next!!
THIS PAY IS REQUIRED BY THE WARN ACT
Welcome to the jungle of the trucking industry that's getting smaller every day. It will get worse every yr going forward as more companies fold up and close there doors
This is so sad.
Wow Ravens my my my smh
Hi Alex
Another 1bites the dust
Dam
Sure Biden has a story where he had it harder.
Why do you only post bad news
He doesn't but you're a midwit so I'd expect stupid from you but since you're probably a Biden supporter and can't see the forest for the trees I'll let you in on a little secret, there is a recession happening and it's hitting the trucking industry pretty hard.
Why did you work for a yard without a union? Why did you earn less than six figures? Answer to both is - because driver is being an idiot. Sure, he will have tough time. he should had not been working for a yard without a union, and not having work life balance. Not sorry at all.
😇🙏🏽🚛🇺🇸
More BS ...who cares if you talk about ANYTHING.....where the hell did all this secrecy come from????
Where did integrity go????
But, Biden said he was a truck driver. We should be safe, right?
Ole boy Bigg Tim needs to change his name to Jelly Bean! 😂😂 He planned for this. This shows that drivers are responsible for themselves. Quit blaming companies. Business is bitter.
No one plans to cut their own throat. All of us get out here and work the best we can to put in the longevity to have something to fall back on. We move freight. Wet dry cold liquid heavy food clothes we all move it. No one expects their ass to be on the curb 7 states away with a 1,000 dollar credit card that wont get you across the street, cash not accepted and your shit tossed in a garbage dumpster because greyhound will not take it all.
Regardless of what you make.
Regardless of what you own.
Regardless of how many you have.
Regardless of your bank roll set back.
Trucking is busted for everyone until this business model changes...
Regardless of freight or administration,
Trucking is a bust.
Trump isn't the best, but hes the best of what is available. If you love God, country, and family. You better vote Trump in, or, guys...... it's OVER, and forever
🥺
Bidenomics!
So sad Joe voters. Is this build back better?
Aren't you glad you voted for Biden?
I am absolutely glad that I voted for Joe Biden!
Heeeeelll no! Wish I could take my vote back.
I miss Ronald Reagan
I miss the 80’s
I miss 1860s....
I don't
Ronnie was the one screwed the working man or woman when he set the example by firing the PATCO workers, the big corporations learned to devalue their employers!!!
Normal people miss trump@@dnice6120
Don’t blamed me, I voted for Trump 😅
