Looking To Run Western States Majority Of Runs

Try interstate dist they have a terminal in lebanon tn,and you will see all of gods country you want to see.You will be out west more times then a trucker can count.

 

Hey TwoTimes, they have enought crazy truck drivers out west, they don't need another one,. Like your videos bud, BTW, that sure is a nice Pete your driving now. BOL.

 

Check out the drastic measures that Gordon Trucking is taking because of the price of fuel. Go to their website. It doesn't look like a promising trucking situation at this time. I drove western regional once and it was up and down the I-5 corridor (boring) 90% of the time until you went to the house for home time.

 

Well I dont think anything they are doing is out of the norm with most carriers. They just started a fuel optimization program whereas Schneider has had one for quite a while. They are slowing trucks down, parking trucks...etc.....I think everyone is doing that.

 

I think,.....
assuming everyone who's idling their truck is a "moron" isn't fair.

Does that math include doctor visits if they have a medical condition that requires a warmer sleeping environment?
Or a cooler one?

Who are we to decide what other's needs and/or reasons are?

Now, I'll admit, there ARE those who would idle their Big trucks for days while they're sleeping in a motel, and some folks still have pets that require a more uniform temperature. Since I don't know each and everyone's circumstances, I refrain from passing judgment as to when I think they should or shouldn't be idling. For all I know, they might have weak batteries and want to be sure their fridges work and the Big truck will start when the key is turned and/or the starter button pushed.

EVERY driver, IMO, should be entitled to a COMFORTABLE rest period. Period.
If that means idling the Big motor -- so be it. Chalk it up top the rising costs of doing business and RAISE THE DAD-GUMMED FREIGHT RATES!!
Why are Big truck truck drivers expected to suffer -- which COULD mean that the general motoring public will suffer, too?
That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Especially when SAFETY is stressed and the drivers SHOULDN'T be.

 

Could be like that lady I saw once, in Key West. Temp dipped below 70, and she had a full length down coat on.
