[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1298677, member: 13921"] In my area, line haul contractors require either 1 or 2 years of experience (depending on the contractor) and pay starts at 45k/year. If you go to trucking forums, you will find that that kind of gig is what many drivers and wannabes are looking to get the experience to do. Maybe in MFEs area, the contractors have relaxed their standards a bit. No matter, if you look at the numbers, ground still has a lower fatality and out of service rate than the national average, by a good bit, too. Add to the fact the huge number of power units owned by a huge number of different contractors and to me, that looks pretty darn good. It is also very hard to compare those numbers with UPS as they have divided their fleet by divisions. I have heard that that is done on purpose as UPS is the largest trucking fleet in the nation, that their fleet sets the national average. I do not know that that is true, but is it had to know, as our fleet is divided. [/QUOTE]
