[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 577550, member: 22662"] Yes, it's business. Should you care to do a search on every post I have ever written on this board, nowhere would you see me suggest that being a ground driver is a great position. It isn't. I would not even want to try to raise a family on $650.00 a week. But where do you get the idea that every job in the USA is a job for raising a family? Over the Road drivers make good money, but I would not want to raise a family being gone 5-6 days a week. Wouldn't want to be a coal miner either though I hear they make good money. Now, here's the situation as I see it. If somebody likes driving for a contractor but thinks he/she deserves more money, ask for it. If the contractor says "no" start looking for a way to become a contractor. Believe it or not, that money is pretty good. Also I can remember a time when everyone felt sorry for the terrible deal the contractor had at Ground. Well that's changed. Now it's the drivers everyone feels sorry for. That can change as well. But why would a driver after seeing how things at Ground are run want to remain a driver and not a contractor? You want more money but not more responsibility? Time to man up. [/QUOTE]
