Drivers under contracts working at 1972 wages.

Well first thing is that if you don't consider splitting .22CPM 1972 wages than you can obviously live a lot cheaper than many other people. Second, If you don't know what laws are changing in 2017 you are way behind the times. I am under contract....but living on $250.00 a week wasn't cutting it. I am a owner operator now. Not leased but owned. I am adding 2 more trucks in 2017. There are a couple of guys I want to hire that are under contract and running hard but not making a living. I'm afraid if I hire them that the bigger company will sue me. And as far as being a first time poster I guess the first time you posted wasn't your first time?

Anyone think with all the laws changing next year in a already driver shortage industry that some of these company's will forgive drivers who left before there contract ended?

Probably not. If you want to get back into the industry, your best bet is to re-engage with the company you left in the first place, fall on your sword and humbly ask for your old job back. Agree with Old School though, what's the whole story?
