and that's what management think too "A driver is a driver" and that kind of thinking is what has hurt this industry. Ask yourself why are we not considered a Trade like a carpenter, plumber, or electrician?
Not all driver are the same because my CDL doesn't have the "E" restriction on it.

OK. Given a route with a set value to the company, fixed mileage, and a fixed time window....why should a driver with 20 years experience get more pay than one with 2 or 3 years?

If two guys drive the same freight the same miles in the same time; why should one be paid more?
