Thanks, I'm probably going to need it lol.
Buyouts are scary AF

I already haven't gotten a raise in the last 2 years. I may be time to move on anyhow. The only thing that's stopping me is that it took 10 years to get 4 weeks of vacation. If I start new somewhere, I likely won't have any vacation for the first 2 years.

4 weeks of paid vacation per year? That is not trivial
On the other other 10 years at the same company is a very long time
No raises mean the company is stingy or financially struggling

It depends on where you go. Some companies have the resources or at least have the resources to waste. For instance Twitter before Musk got ahold of it.

No raise during the last couple year's inflation is a sign.

I have agood friend who has a company with 17 trucks, which kind of runs itself. He spends his time at his other LLC helping drivers and others set up and finance trucking companies. This is good money now, but not a long-term good sign in my opinion.

I trust self-driving trucks just as much as I trust self-driving cars or taxis. I would never get in one and if I see them I try will try to avoid them totally by either passing them or falling way behind them. I saw too many terrain-following radar controlled aircraft go in to trust it, ever.
I wish everyone good luck with those!

Trucking always takes it in the shorts when the economy goes bad. People aren’t buying, therefore, there is no shipping stuff around to the retailers. I go to several places and on the way there, I am seeing a lot of big rigs parked and if it isn’t the whole rig it is just the tractor. I also go by an apparently abandoned Yellow hub/depot. It does not look good for trucking.
