[QUOTE="Boaty, post: 3799041, member: 40981"] i was an owner operator and in the industry for 30 years. sold my truck last year and don"t plan to return in any capacity. there is no driver shortage. there is less drivers than these companies have trucks. if you pull into a truck stop anywhere near a major city after 1900 local time, you most likely will not get a parking spot. same with rest areas. where's the shortage? before Reagen ruined the trucking industry by deregulating it, a driver could make a decent living. drivers make less money now than 40 years ago. everything cost way more. how people are willing to go live in a truck on the road for 2-3 weeks at a time and make 40k a year. not to mention all the BS that goes along with the job including all the road rage idiots with no clue on the roads these days. 30+ years ago it was an interesting career/lifestyle. now it's just a crap job with low pay.
