BFD [/quote] $52/hr when you divide $110k by 2080 hours a year. [/quote] BS Most truckers doing at least 3400 hours a year on the “clock” and at least 300 - 400 hours off. Plus try to sit in 15 square feet space for 20 - 25 days non stop all the time for 110k per year. Some of the prisoners have more space in jail cell. Not to mention that you got camera watching you 24/7 and assholes calling you every time you change lane with no blinker or stoping to fast when you got cutoff by some 4 wheeler. And this is when McDonald is starting to pay 15 an hour to do squat. [/quote]
