"Drive for the best, or Best equipment or Best loads"....yada, yada, yada.....
This pretty much sums it up and it cracks me up. I think Judge Judy calls it, "Huffing", when one beefs something up to something it really is not.
Anyway, here are a few of the "huffs" I recall reading on the back doors of those trailers:
Get miles, get home
More home time
Top pay
Competitive pay and benefits
Up to $.xx/mile (emphasis on "up to")
Health care available (emphasis on "available")
People oriented
Our drivers are our greatest asset
These are the ones that stick in my mind but I am sure that there are more but here is the bottom line. $$$ Yep, to them it's all about the $$$ and if you think about how much it costs them to operate their truck and what the profit margins are in that cut throat industry you will quickly realize that they cannot let you drive out of route to spend time at home and stay in business. Furthermore, if your trailer is loaded, someone on the other end is looking for their stuff. See, everything is just in time anymore and, "If I wanted it tomorrow I'd have ordered it tomorrow", and nobody cares about you and your family. On top of that, should your trailer be empty and not in a hurry to deliver someone's stuff you are most likely sitting in a truck stop nowhere near home (refer to that explanation above on costs to run the truck). So...once again it's all "huffing" to get you to work for them. Oh, by the way, it is the same everywhere in the truckload for hire business. So, if you want to sleep in your own bed, shower in your own bathroom and eat in your own kitchen you need to get a job in a different sector of the transportation industry.
