    That’s the mentality of Wal Mart coolies. They think other good driving jobs simply don’t exist. Yet every time I open my Facebook there’s yet another stupid retarded WMT recruiting ad in my face. I hauled enough junk freight into their DC’s before I wised up and started pulling tanks, to know that’s not a company I would ever be associated with.

    Who in their right mind would slip seat a sleeper truck? That’s just disgusting, keep your $42 dollars a night.

    I agree. Our fuel trucks and pneumatics are usually dispatched for a 12 hour shift. It's very seldom that they run over 12 or even approach it.
    Most of the time the truck is back in the yard in 9 or 10 hours.
    The one exception to this might be during fire season but even then we usually find a way to get another driver on the truck before his hours get excessive.
    Why burn out good drivers if you don't have to?

    Hush up you! Yes it is! Don't pay any attention to this yahoo everyone. He's been running a fever and is delirious. There is no such thing as a good local job where you:

    - Drive an ungoverned Pete 389
    - Work Monday - Friday
    - RARELY work more than 10 hours a day, less than that a lot of days
    - Paid for EVERYTHING you do
    - Paid vacation and sick leave

    It doesn't exist! It's a unicorn. It's just a dream I've been doing it for years now.

    TA Wythville VA. I observed a WW driver in the store and was going to engage him for chuckles then my brain kicked in and remembered he is wearing a white uniform shirt with his name on it ( because the company thinks he doesn’t know how to properly dress) and had the blank stare of a soulless meat stick.

    Yeah, the old corporate joke “The beatings will continue until morale picks up”.
