    My truck has 30, 000 miles until the next service. So.I have a little time. To be honest if every thing goes as planned ill never see this issue in.my USA truck. The stuff they are changing is crap. I don't need them.holding my had by routing me and this progressive shift bs. (Notice how everything "progressive" is bs?). I'm going to the TWIC office on my next he time and starting the paperwork for my card and hazmat. Then once those are in off to the DMV to test for haz and tanker. Then goodbye cruel.world ill be leaving.

    I doubt ill be alone. Unfortunatly enough expierienced drivers won't follow.suit so usa will just keep.doing this crap.

    Can't wait.for.them to.change my idle temps from 50-68 to 20-75 like other mega crap carriers.

    Just did some quick math. Lose 1 mph, at .40 cpm avg 10 hrs driving per day x 7 days, 52wks = pay cut of 1456 dollars annually.

    Add this to a never increasing cpm pay, constantly increasing cost of living, falling miles and it just isn't worth it to be out here anymore.

    I'm beginning to think I'm outta here soon too. Just turned down one offer, thinking that was a mistake. Will wait and see what happens 1st qtr. If nothing, then adios here also.

    Told y'all what? I've been saying this for a long time. The entire trucking industry has been going downhill paywise for years. I just figure if it isn't worth driving ill take my stock profits and do something else. No reason to work for peanuts.
