A trucking company based in Fort Worth, northern Texas, is offering to pay experienced drivers $14,000 a week—$728,000 a year—as the U.S. grapples with a nationwide shortage of truckers.
Sisu Energy, which describes itself as a "cutting-edge trucking company," says applicants must be over 25, with at least two years of experience, and must have a commercial driver's license.
Jim Grundy, CEO of Sisu Energy, told Texas TV station KENS 5: "Insurance companies won't insure you if you're not 25 years old, if you don't have two years of experience. So, as a new driver coming out, these opportunities aren't available to you."
