So long as you keep them fed, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Now if it was a truck load of people who get off to eating people, and they are under the influence of something that keeps them in a perpetual state of arousal. Then yea, may have to worry a bit.
Still with the same company I drove for, moved to dispatch when I got custody of my son and then client support after I finished my degree and now I actually head the client support office which is ten people. All with the same company. Being a trucker as a career can be what you make of it. Want to stay on the road? You can do that. What to be a corporate office ghoul like me? Starting off as a driver isn’t a bad launch pad.
Hey man I appreciate your reply I only asked because I’m currently 25 and I’ve been trucking for 2 years for a dump truck company I make 40k a year for 9 months of work but I barely get by as I live in a expensive area. So I’ve been thinking about if I should get into specialized trucking for better pay (I would love to stay local) or maybe switch careers. It seems to me most people on this subreddit wouldn’t really recommend trucking as a career lol
My recommendation would be this: you don’t want to be behind the wheel for more than ten years. You need to be looking at something else. Use being a steering wheel holder as a launch pad to something else.
Legit though I think those superload guys going through Ohio had to be getting something like this. They could only travel like 50 miles a day or something due to extremely low speed from all the weight
I realize it’s a typo, I just mean how we are paid in Canada, I don’t know if it’s by mile or kilometre. That’s all lol. Being paid hourly is a godsend haha
I mean if ur hauling a few tons of cocaine 65$ per mile sounds pretty fair once u account for all the risk. If its a morals thing, the trick is to tell urself that if you don't deliver the cocaine someone else will. And ur a safe driver so by delivering the drugs urself ur basically saving lives.

You just have to haul a trailer full of cannibals and they must be hand fed every 200 miles. Good luck.

Yeah, but Im sure the food he gives the cannibals puts up one hell of a fight
MikeDRappah@reddit (OP)

Unfortunately, the load only goes one mile once a week.
MikeDRappah@reddit (OP)
And to top it off you have to deliver to a Walmart DC no detention pay 😭

I’d blow a dude at every 30 minute break if I made $65 a mile. Even if that wasn’t a requirement I’d do it anyway to show my loyalty.

Dude nothing that’s like 780k a month assuming 3000 weekly miles.

zerta_media@reddit
Fun fact cuz I was curious so I did the math. would take 65 years going 660 a day 7 days a week to make a billion pre tax at this rate.
Prior-Ad-7329@reddit
That would be a career total of 15,384,615.4 miles…
zerta_media@reddit
Damn and I was taking leap year off, what kinda lazy so am i
MikeDRappah@reddit (OP)
Its crazy how much a billion is when you put it that way
zerta_media@reddit
Crazier when you flip it and see how long it would take you to spend that much
Prior-Ad-7329@reddit
$65/mile is more than $160,000/week at 500 miles a day.
I would apply then when they try to pay me 1/100 of what was advertised I can sue them.

Jasonawilliam@reddit
Superload rates are crazy, broker here, some loads can be paying $1,000/mile and still only netting the driver $2-3k
DonLotto92k@reddit
😂 is there a way that we could bump it up to at least 50 miles a day minimum guaranteed
GroundbreakingSir386@reddit
XPO LOGISTICS more like $0.80
