    This trucking company just made a Facebook post that pissed everyone off

    The things you read on the internet these days—some make you want to laugh, while some make you want to cry. And sometimes, you want to do both at the same time.

    Stevens Transport recently posted something on Facebook that definitely agrees with that sentiment. Along with its posts chock-full of statements and images expressing how amazing the trucker’s life is and how Steven’s is the trucking company to work for, was a particular post that made jaws drop.

    On Sunday, June 26, Stevens posted a meme that proves the real corporate mindset of many motor carriers. But who knew they would publicly admit to it? 06-289-16-tired-blog-pic.jpg

    Honestly though I think it was metaphorically speaking. Like a job worth starting is a job worth doing right kinda thing.

    You dont stop when you are tired, you carry through until it's done.

    Now, any company stupid enough to post that should not have drivers.

    I quit FB pernamently after Operation Protective Edge was concluded. I had friends over there in harms way day and night. Was experiencing censorship per FB policy.

    Drivers themselves have been using that little quip forever. But Lawd forbid a company use it lest it be a butthurtable offense. Even though we can only drive a max of 11 hours a day thanks to the ###### HoS laws.

    Meh, whatever.

    Aw come on. Limited to 10? Now we are blessed with 11 hours? Sheesh.

    They should make it 16 all together driving. Sheesh, railroads crew dog dead at 16 hours and one minute not one inch further. Dog catchers round em up and deliver fresh crews all the time.

    If you ever have to have a complicated surgery, don't ask the surgeon how long he's going to stand there sawing on you before he gets to drain it and grab a Snickers.
