On the other hand, there are a lot of us who do get into expediting and really want to work. Then after the orientation and a few hand fed runs, things turn around. Example: week 1 ; one run, then week two; two runs, and each week is like these. All the while you sit in the truck stop and wait for the next load offer, as you see other trucks from the same company come and go. Yes maybe some are just fueling while on a run, but the rest?? If the company is going to hold you to the 'hours of service' then why does my log book have so many "restarts"
I personally dont think that it's 'underfunded' as much as it is money management. I have seen many drivers spend, spend, spend. Then only after they are broke do they start to whine and cry about money.
Like was said, do a business plan, or just a simple budget, Then STICK TO IT!!!
