    Update on that Illegal Alien driver doing a U turn on the highway: California lied, and is clueless that it is the state that issues a CDL, not the federal government, which shows how incompetent Newscum is: He gets slapped down by fact checkers:...and that driver tried to run back to California thinking he'd be safe...nope, he's being extradited. He must think states are countries. Idiot.

    California knows very well what is doing, and it's not the only state giving CDL's to illegals. Florida and Texas are not far behind.
    This is well organized attack on the industry, and they don't care how many people will die and how many americans will lose their jobs.

    Why in the hell would somebody tie up the rest of their day for only $50? o_O

    One doesn’t need to be a owner/op, or a mathematician, to know that would be incredibly stupid.

    That was an exaggeration, I shouldn't have used those unrealistic numbers as an example. I was trying to make the point that I would rather work more hours for less per mile than have a low income for the year by running those really short loads that pay good per mile but take up an entire day. Im at 2.34 on all miles so I am clearly not running those 2000 mile loads for $2 a mile. You guys are just responding to the poor choice of numbers I used so that was my bad.

    I have to book loads as if its the only load i can do in a day. Im surprised hearing that you guys can do multiple loads in a day. I think its one out of 50 loads that I have a shipper/rec that is open past 3pm. (edit: another exaggeration that might get me in trouble, but you know what I mean)
