      Some quick thoughts on a debauched State of the Union, reminiscent of a drunken Congressional frat party, and Stacey Abrams' sensible (relatively speaking) responsehttps://spectator.us/stacey-abrams-state-union/ …

      I work with Truckers every day. They are not forced to buy their own rigs.

      You know every Trucker in America, and can say for a fact that none of them have been forced to buy their own rigs?

      Michael, do you know a trucker that was forced to buy their own rig?

          As a motor carrier, this story does not reflect the true reality of trucking.

          It's like you are being purposely obtuse on what the word "FORCED" means

          isn't this more a criticism of trucking companies working at the LA ports?

          Because most freight companies lease trucks and allow CDL-A Drivers to drive them. Buying your own tractor is a risk/reward deal. You can make more, but you are on the hook for more, as well.

          If you are making 36-40k as an OTR Driver, you should get out. Your annual salary of $40,000 would end up being about $19.23 per hour. That's not even the low end of, say, Safeway Distribution Center in Denver, CO paying ~30 an hour (starting)

          Poor poor California. Hint: Texas is booming.

          This seems to focus solely on California, and include companies that knowingly broke the law at a State Level. How is that a National issue? Most large companies lease their own tractors. You don't make as much, but you are also not on the hook for repairs/bs contracts
