Trucking companies paint unrealistic pictures of the industry, and that's why drivers want to quit.
New drivers think they're automatically going to make a ton of money straight away. But that isn't the case.
We can only drive for 11 hours a day, and we don't get paid for all the hours we work, either. It's typical to spend two or three hours waiting at a shipper or receiver, where we're stuck in our trucks and often aren't allowed to use the site's bathrooms. Because we're not usually paid based on time, we don't get any money for the wait.
