There is an endless list of reasons why there is a supposed trucker shortage....
After 20 years over the road, seeing the Gubment implement new rules about when you can eat, where and when you can sleep, or even take a dump, still low pay and an endless list of what it takes to get and do the job, the stress, the inspections, high jackings, and on and on....
No intelligent human wants that kind of job...
Being gone a month at a time, told you can go home at Christmas, and it never happens?
Many think its good money, and it is, but sitting in front of a computer is easier and pays just as good.
Drivers like me, with millions of miles of accident free driving can't get the work because of our age.... sure some can, but most can't... This ain't the old dayz....
The Gubment runs your life, whether you think so or not or like it or not!
I quit because f the ELD!
Been in the Sign Business all my life, and it's still a great job... Took years to cater it to my likings.... but it's getting pretty tough too.
