https://www.fleetowner.com/autonomo...m=email&elq2=c5cb5123002945c0b4cbcd20ae37ce98
"Volvo Trucks has unveiled an all-electric, fully autonomous tractor of sorts designed for specific applications to help address freight and driver challenges. There's no cab at all, like you sliced that off and left nothing but the motor and fifth wheel, and the system—"Vera"—looks more like a sports car than a traditional truck."

Walmart’s starting pay has always been in the $80,000 plus range, day 1 benefits also. And another “consultant “, has determined turn over rate dropped to 94 percent earlier this year? Stay Metric? Sounds like someone talking to their dog named metrics. And the others in the articles mentioned, you can Earn UP TO, this much. They forget to tell you that you need so many years there to get that much. Same strings attached, different companies.Fleets upping, getting creative with driver pay

Walmart used to have a pretty good gig, 7 on 7 off....only worked 6 months a year for that 80K but I think they quit offering those dedicated bids.Walmart’s starting pay has always been in the $80,000 plus range, day 1 benefits also.

Actually,they just recently put some of those type bids back into their fleet. Have a few friends that work at a DC near me. They have 5 on,5 off, 6 on, 3 off, 5-2, 5-3, which is work 5,off 2,work 5,off 3, and some others. They cut way back on slip seating,as I think they found out with a sleeper operation,it did not sit well with many drivers there.Walmart used to have a pretty good gig, 7 on 7 off....only worked 6 months a year for that 80K but I think they quit offering those dedicated bids.

In the owner/operator sphere, a lot of carriers are rolling the fuel surcharge into the rate to artificially inflate it. Paid plates, tolls and insurance, but weak fuel discounts. I'm seeing rates as tantalizingly high as $1.91/mi, but they come at the cost of a heavy load, mountain running and so on. By the time it's down to brass tacks, you're not making any more than anywhere else.Fleets upping, getting creative with driver pay

Good points, as usual, CF.In the owner/operator sphere, a lot of carriers are rolling the fuel surcharge into the rate to artificially inflate it. Paid plates, tolls and insurance, but weak fuel discounts. I'm seeing rates as tantalizingly high as $1.91/mi, but they come at the cost of a heavy load, mountain running and so on. By the time it's down to brass tacks, you're not making any more than anywhere else.
That's why I stay where I am. The base rate is a little above average, the fuel surcharge is good, the fuel discount is impressive, and I'm not out of pocket for anything but my safety inspection and (obviously) repairs to my tractor. Plus no cameras or tattletales. The recruiter lied to me when I signed up, but I'm glad I've stayed here.
Anyone considering jumping ship, my advice is to consider your options carefully to make sure it's the right decision for you.
Ask Big Dave if this is legit. STI is owned by CRST, which is affiliated with Coop D.Good points, as usual, CF.
I saw this on FB a while back. Personally, I'm not impressed.
Doesn't seem to me that a $200k gross will provide an all that impressive NET. What kind of operating ratio can a typical O/O achieve?
