A number of companies are paying newe drivers with 1 to 2 yrs experience 23% on payroll or 28% to a Corp account. They are paying good experience truck drivers with 4 or more yrs experience that can speak and write in English 31 to 32% to a Corp account or 25% on payroll plus insurance and Workers comp. These people often do not even have a power unit in their name and this needs to be stopped in my opinion. I see a number of people now that had trucks leased from certain companies like a ( P) companies. These people now often can not afford to make lease payments and are using food banks and getting help from the gov or their ( church) to pay rent
We need to make trucking a skilled trade and bring proper training pay. A number of the same trucking companies that complained about these Corp account drivers often have had lease ops that often made less than company driver per hour that worked for the city or for private milk transport on payroll. I would be happy to have a plan and volunteer to sit on a board that will help the driver both born here and that came here to drive.
