Hey hotshot, I know someone that is about to get 39 cents per mile.

Is the Democratic party really the problem? Did they cause the recession?

Agree-They are doing to smaller trucking operations what Walmart has done to smaller store chains. Jewel, Dominick's, Kroger, etc. paid decent wages and had health insurance for employees. Now they have cut way back to compete with Walmart and the smaller independent mom and pop stores are all but gone. Walmart does it with LOW WAGES. Schneider is the same bottom line LOW WAGES for drivers, no one can compete unless they work for almost NOTHING.

Beware! Anyone hiring that many in a recession has a big turnover. That's a red flag. That is confirmed by so many, many of their drivers. If they were any good to work for, they would have plenty of drivers already.

If the goverment looses the tax revenue, the roads will not get repaired. The Republicans and big business since Regan have declared war on the middle class. Do some homework and open your eyes!
