Double 53' or triple smaller trailer are common on Ohio turnpike

And on the interstates of NY.

I've seen a few triples from FedEx and UPS, buy I think they were 40s. That's still 150+ of truck with the cab.

Was listening to some trucker show on XM coming home last night. Between all the crazy rules, techology and rigs like that, it hardly seems right that drivers now make about 1.8 times what a waitress makes! FAR, down from the hey day of a lucrative trucking carreer.

It depends what kind of truck and where in the country. I make a lot more than a waitress.

Depends... I was talking to the bar tender chick a few weeks back... She said that she averages $35-$40 an hour. Not bad.

1.8 is almost twice what a waitress makes. The guy on the show, who I think said he was a pilot, kept comparing commercial pilots to truckers saying how underpaid the truckers were. Seems like a stretch to compare the two. But certainly the responsibility of a trucker warrants better pay, than what it has devolved to, in the grand scheme of things. Little wonder there is a driver shortage nationwide and young kids aren't interested.

Maybe in "reportable" income.

What’s it going to be when driverless trucks get on the road?

Then waitresses will make much more than drivers of driverless trucks.

Yea, most of what the NYT reports is either mostly bogus or out right lies

And yet they've been around since 1851, have received a very wide range of prestigious awards and have long been considered one of the most credible news sources in the world.

OK, so they don't have a TV channel loaded with news bimbos in mini skirts.
