A trucker is worth what the market will bear.  We have a lot of demand right now and not a lot of supply.  Why look to me for any solution? Do you have any proposed solutions?

Remember when trucker's could form their own company and charge the rate they saw fit? Pepperidge Farm remembers. 

Folks like Norman tend to look past all of the policies that Dems make over the years while attacking conservatives who point the finger at the Dem in charge. Sure, it's an oversimplification of the situation, but they're right about who's causing it. Cali created regulations that completely shut down Owner-Operated trucks who could negotiate their own wage, then demanded that all trucks be newer than 2011, while also saying that by 2035, all trucks must be zero emissions. This means companies aren't going to be buying new trucks because they will want to be investing in trucks with zero emissions. That policy was always going to remove trucks from the road. Furthermore, Dems WANT trucks to be removed from the roads. Now add to that policies that have allowed people to collect checks from the government, and stay home from work. Policies that don't deem ports work as essential work. Policies that reduce the hours at major shipping ports. 

They are telling  you what they are doing, and you guys keep falling for the [BLEEP] because some site says "FACT-CHECK FALSE." It's not low wages. It's bad policies by democrats. And, even if Biden and Buttigieg aren't directly responsible, they are mindlessly supporting policy that is destructive.
