It seems since deregulation, the shippers, the big box stores, the corporations, the brokers, and the consumers, are all doing much better thanks to cut-throat freight rates. The problem however, is that they are profiting off the truckers while the men and women who drive the trucks are starving. After 30 years of this crap, I’ve never seen it so bad. We work long hours and bring home s**t. It amazes me that Congress and the FMCSA are always after the trucker to keep their rigs in tip-top shape, and are constantly making rules to combat driver fatigue. The one thing that would deal with both these problems is to pay us a decent wage. Yet, no one does anything about it. When the hell is Congress going wake up and deal with this issue?
