Aber jetzt, dass du ein bisschen Texture hast, was das Leben hinter dem Rad ist, wird die echte Dunkelheit in der Truckindustrie apparent, wenn du auszoomst. If you hadn't picked up on it yet, debt is the weapon used to shackle drivers to these trucks and to their contracts and hope is the lure that keeps them on the line.

Trucking recruiters frequently recruit from homeless shelters, soup kitchens, recovery wards and prison work release programs. Truckers also frequently come from minimum wage retail or construction or from serving in the military overseas. Recruiters promise guaranteed jobs, big pay, no experience required. You'll get a free one-way bus ticket, free hotel and food during your orientation.

But then, on the fourth day or so, you're given a contract to sign. And then, you're officially a student driver. And you suddenly have all the student debt to prove it. Dann haben sie eine neue enttäuschende Offerung. Nachdem du dein Kontrakt für Schule und Geld eingestellt hast, natürlich. Du könntest ein Bewohner-Operator sein, nicht nur ein Mitarbeiter.

Du kannst deinen eigenen Truck haben und den Meister deines eigenen Destinats sein. Du musst nicht einen einzigen Cent vorhanden zahlen. So bekommen sie dich. Sie fordern dich, einen literalen Truckload von Geld zu nehmen, der aus deinen zukünftigen Paychecks und Interessen genommen wird, bis du es bezahlst, was fast niemand jemals macht.

Instead, you get thrown into an impossible industry, where you work insane hours under high pressure and serious risk of death, all just to earn your minimum, which you quickly learn is $100 a week, assuming you don't spend it on food. If at any point you realize that this isn't your cup of tea, no problem. Because then you realize that that contract you signed, yeah, none of this was free.

It was all on debt. And now, if you want to walk away, that debt is coming with you. Turnover in the trucking industry is insane. Over the last decade, industry turnover has ranged from 95 to 112%. It's hard to graph what that actually even means. Turnover at a competitive law firm is 17%. Turnover at Starbucks is around 65%.

100% turnover in the trucking industry means that every single member of any given fleet either quit or was fired and successfully replaced that year. But trucking is not a declining industry. It's not shrinking. It's growing aggressively all while this is happening.

Because as with every other industry, just like in the private equity playbook, trucking has figured out how to not just make humans replaceable, but how to actually profit off of their replacement. First, they recruit dishonestly, convincing people to take out lines of credit for the opportunity.
