Sharpshooter I'm with you I made more money 15 years ago than I'm making now. I make the most per hour that I have ever made and the most per mile too, but can't seem to make ends meet here at this company and I'm working a lot harder to bring home less money. If they ever decide to operate like a real trucking company maybe things will change.
