They'll claim they're protecting the consumers from higher prices, -- but truth be known, they'll really only be concerned with increased profits for themselves, as they continue to send their Big truck truck drivers into hot climates with no idling laws to sit for days in an oven waiting for another cheap freight load.

Big truck manufactures have gone the extra mile to make their Big trucks safer and more comfortable, only to have desk drivers enact new laws, rules and regulations to circumvent all their research and improvements.

DRIVERS!
Get plenty of rest to be safer Big truck truck drivers -- but don't expect to sleep in comfort (like the desk drivers do).
And QUIT using those noisy Jake Brakes on long downhill grades -- it wakes us up and we don't appreciate that (you're being safe at our expense).

Perhaps there wouldn't be a shortage of Big truck truck drivers if those who continue to pass these stupid laws didn't have a shortage of common sense.

NO BIG TRUCK TRUCK PARKING!

Pick up and drop your loads -- then get the hail outta here. You just get in OUR way, clogging up the highways when we're trying to take the kids to soccer practice or to the beach and lakes for our much needed vacation relaxation, -- while Big trucks use the Interstate System (which was developed with commerce uppermost in the minds of the developers) as Big truck truck routes. And we don't appreciate that.

Not to mention, when we make mistakes (78% of the time) on the highways, y'all run us over and kill us. There oughta be a law against that -- Killer Trucks.

Awwww Shux!
Where's all the stuff I want at the Super Market?!!!!
WhAT!
The Big delivery truck is LATE?!!!
Those _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !!!!
They're ruining our lives!!!

Meanwhile, the delivery Big truck sits at an intersection just outside of town -- looking north, south, east and west, only to see signs reading:

NOT A DESIGNATED TRUCK ROUTE
NO BIG TRUCKS ALLOWED

As the Big truck truck drivers run out of hours trying to figure a way to do their job without disrupting J.Q. Public's lifestyle, Johnny Lawman informs them:

YOU CAN'T PARK HERE, DRIVER. MOVE IT OR I'LL HAVE YOUR BIG TRUCK TOWED AWAY AND IMPOUNDED ..... AND TAKE YOU TO JAIL.
Who do you think you are? Somebody important? You won't get away with that attitude with ME. I'M the LAW.

I rechecked and Werner still has no debt, so they can't file for chapter 13 if they don't have debt

But they are starting to slip highly on profits, what I don't see is firing I mean we are on the watch list, aka we messed up and had several late loads driver fault in a row and surely would be first to get axed???

Of course, I would be very sad to be fired =(
