That sounds so very stressful. Truckdrivers really are special people to deal with all of that. Be very lucky we got them!
I work for a company and here it's the standard to get paid by the hour. I also get all my hours paid that I have to wait.
Here's to better working conditions! You all deserve it!
And America has had a huge problem getting new truckers gee I wonder why? Their solution is to reduce education and throw more new truckers on the road. "Pay by the mile" sounds like a huge safety issue too, stressing about being as fast as possible and not stopping or slowing down for anything as a cautious driver would sounds like a recipe for disaster.
