I seem to remember this pic or one similar on the wall at a terminal when I drove for Crete
Wow SSB, I just hopped on here for the first time in a while and saw this thread on the front page. You know I climbed out of the truck back in...
I hired a driver with 11 years of experience and a driving record as clean as the preacher's sheets. Seemed like he knew his stuff, had parked his...
I'd like to agree on that, but I've hired dozens of drivers and I'm constantly surprised at which ones turn out to be great drivers and great...
That looks expensive. And it also looks like it was on the flatbed's sight side. What the heck?!
Wow. 2 threads to hold it all, nearly 2,000 comments total. When the original thread was still young, it was a large part of what convinced me to...
This might be the bourbon talking, but I do owe a debt to everybody who gave me pointers along the way when I was behind the wheel. From my first...
I haven't held the steering wheel of anything heavier than a half-ton pickup in 5 years, except to move a day cab from one end of the dropyard to...
You need to move to the FL panhandle and come drive for me. The money probably isn't quite what you make over the road, but there's a weekly...
Business has exploded on my end. I don't want to put raw numbers out there and potentially tip our hand to competitors, but we're expanding our...

I'm not sure, but that's your low air buzzer and a DOT requirement
Hard to believe this thread is 12 years old. As I revealed some time back, MACK posted this thread when I came to him requesting a change in...
$15/hr was what they paid for detention 10 years ago, when the cost of living was what it was 10 years ago.
Right now we're fully staffed, but we do have a part-time spot at $190/day before tax, filling in for drivers who need a day off here and there....
Wow. It's amazing this thread is still active. I was active on the original thread over 10 years ago, bought a truck there in 2010, paid it off...
It's well above the median personal income in the US, and nearly twice the median household income in the city where the terminal is. If you want...
Then don't work on your day off. Or, if you don't like the pay rate, don't apply. We're just about fully staffed now anyway.
The $10 per night for drop and hook at the DC edges it over the $1k mark. It's essentially $53k/year for a 9 hour a day, 5 day a week job that...
