Earn More, Save More A Facebook post put it well: In the trucking industry, there are "rate takers" and "rate makers." We have already shown through an inflation calculator's calculation that truckers' wages have not come anywhere close to keeping up with inflation. They're earning 26 percent of what they should be earning if wages had kept pace with inflation since a 1977 magazine cited that truckers could earn $500 per week. Are you tired of being told how much your time is worth? Aren't you ready to see how much you could make if your earning potential was truly unlimited? You can start earning money during the time that you're not driving and not sleeping. Call 800-955-9549 now!
