Here, kid. I'm headed to bed. Educate yourself.

Union truck drivers used to earn the equivalent of almost $45 an hour before deregulation and your amazing corporate gang bang started. Let me know if you're anywhere near that, pls. Have a neato day!
First, I'm not a kid and after nearly 30 yrs in this industry, I'm very familiar with the industry that has brought me a good living. Especially compared to some of my family and friends.
Second, did you even read this article or just the 5-6 lines that you're deriving your statement from? That would be typical of someone who was uneducated but wanted to portray one on this website. This article was focused on the drivers that haul in and out of ports. That certainly isn't an equal comparison to the LTL market. Of the family and friends that I know who were running in the 70's, none of them were near that rate....including a couple uncles who were union drivers.
As I've said in previous posts, I don't claim to be an expert and I certainly will not spew out anything that is not fact based. Find another kids to peddle your BS to. You don't have to agree, but that certainly doesn't make you right.
BTW, get some rest and drive safe.
