    PLEASE!!! Please tell me why working part time at McDonalds wouldnt be more profitable.

    I am so confused about peoples life choices sometimes, and YOU pjay YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! You have seen with your own eyes how much money is to be made in trucking.
    Im guessing that the O/O you are talking about has been trucking for a few years ( since he is a mentor and truck owner). Why would anyone want to be in an industry that rewards 10 or 20 years of service with a negative paycheck?

    If you have a dm that is not returning or answering your phone calls you need to get ahold of your terminal manager immediately. Your DM is not your boss they work for you.YOU MAKE THERE PAYCHECK. There is no excuse for a dm to not return a phone call within 72 hours period.

    Damaged passenger side windshield. Safelate wanted 260 bucks for windshield and coming to the truck stop to install. Not bad

    Basically, anything within the windshield wiper travel can put you OOS. Either window, if its a split

    I used to have the windshield insurance on my first truck. Had to get a windshield once and when I figured out what it cost me every month for the insurance and then the $100 deductible, I would have been better off just paying the cost. It would have been just a little over $200. The monthly plus the $100, cost me almost $400.
