Beginning farmer, with a side hobby of trucking. In matters of style; swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock.-Thomas Jefferson.
@truckerpatty@josephgraff3 @freddy_Stuff_ That’s great pay! Assuming maybe a little better since you’re in the Chicago “region” versus here in southern Indians. Nonetheless, $30 base plus shift premiums add up great. Thanks for sharing!
@dailyfarms We deal w/ freight brokers (ill-advised 😂) on backhauls & truck supply is def limited. Rate negotiations seem to end more our way than not.
@dailyfarms Could depend on tax deal moving forward. Would be shot in the arm for business. Plus global econ. seems to be stabilized if not rebounding.
@dailyfarms Also, we're seeing freight demand versus capacity skyrocketing. Lot of investment in transportation and logistics also = leading indicator.
