KELLY WILSON WILSON BULK TRANSPORT Abilene, KS 75 Posts, 21 +, 3 -	KELLY WILSON WILSON BULK TRANSPORT - Abilene, KS Ok, I need some reinforcement...... I have a contract that runs year round and for some reason 2015 has been a struggle with finding and or keeping drivers (contract requires 8-9 drivers, we currently have 6.) The drivers I currently have are taking home net $700-$1000/week. That is all up to the driver and how much they want to be out. I think this is a fair wage not to mention we pay for hook fees, half their health insurance and contribute to their HSA, plus paid holidays and the list goes on. These drivers are typically home every night and without doubt every weekend all weekend. They're running 2200-3200mi/week and remember their mileage is basically determined by what the driver wants..... This is easy work, hook and pull. No loading or wait times. You unload when you get to you destination no wait their either! so what am I missing? I think it is a fairly easy gig and the trucks are all newer model trucks. I just cannot seem to find any drivers and open to suggestions. Also, if you have any competent candidates send them my way! Thanks.

Also those are drivers so they would complain if you hung them with a new rope

I have a hard time with drivers and I'm paying more than that. Can you live on $35,000 - $40,000 a year and be happy? Art Pfluger

KELLY WILSON WILSON BULK TRANSPORT Abilene, KS 75 Posts, 21 +, 3 -	KELLY WILSON WILSON BULK TRANSPORT - Abilene, KS Art, thanks for the reply. I cannot survive on $40,000/yr (probably could if Amazon and my wife never met lol) but that is also why I work 12-16 hours a day and take the risk of running 9 trucks. I'm not getting rich either, nor am I living outside my means. That is the problem now days. I know we could go back in forth but this country has put my generation (22-32 year olds) in arms wide open mode. Fighting over the next handout. It is creating a very toxic and contagious lifestyle.

ROSE PFLUGER ROAD WARRIORS TRANSPORTATION INC MORRISTOWN, AZ 615 Posts, 4 +, 3 -	ROSE PFLUGER ROAD WARRIORS TRANSPORTATION INC - MORRISTOWN, AZ Look Kelly for once I'm not trying to antagonize you. I face the same challenges or worse. I have many large carriers in the same town as I and they can do things that I can't even think about. I have to understand, like it or not, no matter what I do or go thru, I have to pay a driver enough for him to live some kind of decent life. The guy might be worth $40,000 but I know that if he can't make $55,000 first year he won't even think about my outfit and if he does he won't stay. When he leaves my training investment and all of my initial costs are for nothing. I don't like this current situation. I'm paying people a LOT more than they are worth and I still have trucks sitting. For us the whole OTR Ag thing is very foreign to people, they don't want to take a chance on something different. WAY to many that do try, leave because they just don't want to be out in the rural area. They want that interstate get in a truckstop life every night. Mostly for us with Swift, Knight, Heartland, Gordon, and every other larger carrier here these guys get promised home WAY more than we can do and I won't lie to them. These idiots will work a local job for $125 a day instead of at least twice that in an OTR setting. My last hire followed a trainer for 2 weeks. His first load alone he rips the tarp of the trailer. Second load same week he gets stopped by CAL Ag has to peel back tarp drives of without fastening the front tie down and tears the first 6-8 feet of tarp off the trailer. Yup 2 times one week, when he comes in after a 650 mile deadhead cause I can't load the wagon, he quits. Then all he wants is pay me or else. Good Luck and if you find the magic answer let me know. As a truck owner we are not in a good position at this time. Your going to have to pony up if you want to keep them boys running. Art Pfluger

ALFRED JORDAN POWERHOUSE TRANSPORTATION, LLC PECULIAR, MO 1187 Posts, 206 +, 6 -	ALFRED JORDAN POWERHOUSE TRANSPORTATION, LLC - PECULIAR, MO I have had drivers make as much as $100,000 per year in my program, and others only make $25,000. It depends on the driver some love to work while others do not. Last year I paid $40,000 to a driver that only worked 24 weeks last year, and $36,000 to another that only worked 19 weeks for the year. Both drivers acted like they were killing themselves, I got rid of them both parked the trucks, and went out and made in 3 months on my own what those jokers did in one year. Found two replacements for them, and changed my program to the I don't bleed for you program. Give them the freedom to run where they want and how they want, guess what it works a lot better. I know you have a dedicated account Kelley, and where you are at the wages plus benefits are more then adequate. Thes guys are home every night and are averaging between $17 - $25 per hour. Good luck them finding that kind of job in the middle of Kansas.

Don't waste everyones time when you screwed the pooch and there isn't a carrier alive that can recue you. Go to McDonalds get a job ride your problem out and then ask the community for help.

Ask anyone on this forum. If I defend myself I expose more of the story. I won't do that, IMAGINE. I recently made a post in poor taste. I didn't do my background and just equated a name from now with a name from the past that cost me a lot of money. I had to retract my statement with much embarrasment. I'm trying to not repeat that at this moment. Let me tell you something, poor taste and all. I didn't say anything that isn't a true statement. If everyone of us on this forum was honest about telling one another about the bad apple past employees some of us would be spared a lot of grief and money. Typically in this world you can't get a quick enough response to make a good judgement call on someone because everyone is to busy to answer a phone call. You have to submit in writing and wait 30 days for a past employment history. You need a guy you hire him and its to late. Damage done. Conversely you wait and pass on someone good. I have 4 trucks I'm not SWIFT. I don't have a ton of resources. I do my best and I give more people chances than not. I treat every driver that ever sat in a seat for me like he was family. I have never hired anyone that didn't sit at my table a dine with me. WTF do you want? I didn't creat anyones problems. How can I respond? Art Pfluger

I never got myself in any trouble. I have a clean criminal background never been arrested,or no fail drug screens.

I stayed with that company a month later, before I left them after the accident, and on top of that the lady was ticketed. I didn't disclose because, I could never pull it up when I ran my own MVR. Only reason rose found the accident is because my old company and then have the same insurance company, in which my old company didn't fire me,do y they said u couldn't hire me until after a year. So I didn't screw the pooch and got calls from some major carriers, and the bring me to the last comment you said, all back people don't have to work at McDonald's either, I have a criminal Justice degree, just chose trucking. So stop stereotyping. Lmao.I got the last laugh. Think before doing; ROSE

JEFF PEARSON C & R TRUCKING INC PAYSON, UT 928 Posts, 225 +, 96 -	JEFF PEARSON C & R TRUCKING INC - PAYSON, UT Funny how there are some that get offended by nothing.. Art said nothing except this person got into some trouble and didnt apparently report it on his application.. And then this person tells us about an accident that happened that wasnt his fault.. Ive seen legally parked trucks that are claimed on the accident report as their fault.. But i nor anybody here knows the EXACT details.. So one really needs to quit twisting those panties until they do.. Accidents dont always show up on a DMV printout.. But the insurance company does report to other insurance companies if there is a claim.. Or it was on the DAC report.. Its so easy to find these things out good.. Bad or indifferent.. If this gentleman thinks he is wronged.. He might want to pull up his DAC report and see whats on there that i bet Art pulled up and saw.. But then again WE DONT KNOW THE FACTS HERE.. So one shouldnt ASSUME what the problem is...
