I just moved here from the mid west. I thought Savannah was a good area to work my truck but these rates area brokers pay are pathetic. Now I see why so many truckers are rebellious in the southeast. The meeting that's posted on here taking place June 11th. Can any trucker attend this? I would like to come even though I don't pull containers.

i just bought a used truck the end of may. before that i drove for a florida rock. i talked with the third company in a week about leasing to pull containers . this lady told me her drivers average approx. $1.19 per mile. still she couldn't give me any examples. not even one customer? what's up with that? i don't think she was talking real miles but if so $1.19 is not very much money. another driver i met at protruck said evans delivery pays well but he didn't know the mileage rate even though he leases truck with them. he just likes the drop and hook loads. anyone know that to be true? what is their average rate like? some of these people act like its a state secret to talk about the rate of pay. i am not interested in filling out paper work until i see what i can make with the company but these local brokers are like used car salesman. they want to talk about everything else but not potential money. i don't understand that. do all the trucking companies in garden city copy down the same speech? every call i make to lease my truck i get same answers.

read your leasing agreement from front to back cover driver. very important. some drivers dont pay attention but you can use parts of this against them if they play games with your pay. i have done it before and recovered my money back so read it.

sav trucking rates and companies taking more then their share each week is what we must deal with. the union dosn't even want talk about that. they can't help us unless we are employees they say. what do we need them for if the union can't address our real problems of being owner,operator truckers?
