    The company I was driving for out of Joplin, MO has lots of trucks with tag axles. Right before I left them they said they were going to stop buying them.

    Yes that is what I am calling tag axle, and there is no way to switch in power to the rear axle. I got stuck repeatedly in snow and ice, while drivers with the ability to switch in power to the rear drove around me with no problem.

    That is not something you can do with a tag axle. the rear axle is always dead, no switching in power. I will never work for a company again that tries to cut costs by buying tag axle trucks. It is far to easy to get stuck. Then they expect you to chain up just to get unstuck.

    Whats so hard to belive about $317000. I made $334000 last year trainers make good money here. Of course that's before expenses. Im also on track to make the same this year.

    They only have a few trucks like that it was a failed experiment and they got away from that already.

    The real Mr. Earl L. Henderson died some years ago. The company is now operated by Josh Kaburick, son of John Kaburick who bought the company from Earl a good number of years ago. I, myself have been driving with Henderson for a while as a lease operator, there are weeks that are spectacular and weeks that are horrible. Lately, with the signing onto Prime, the bad weeks are out numbering the good. Our loads are brokered no less than 2 times, so, I can have the exact same load going to exact same place and the Prime lease operator will get paid more for it. It's b far the dumbest thing I've ever encountered other than a prime driver.

    Can you still get into any trucking academy or Earl's with an Larceny record? Also, what tickets on your license can prevent you from obtaining an CDL?
