Good riddance. Just because a job exists doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s a fair contract or even beneficial to the employee. If you drive cross-country and break down your hourly rate according to how many hours you spend tied to your load, it only comes out to be slightly more than minimum wage, <i>if even that</i>. I know a guy who has spent an entire week, 24&#x2F;7, stranded across the country and he only received $200 for it from his company. That&#x27;s less than $2 &#x2F; hr. A pizza delivery guy can make more than that <i>just in tips</i>. I&#x27;m not crying for the trucking industry.
