    I don't knock OTR drivers. To the contrary I have great respect and admiration for what they do and all the crap they put up with. It's a harsh lonely lifestyle and a thankless job imo. And god knows our country would crumble without them. But the bottom line is always the same. Show me the money. Show some respect. Act like you give a ####. Don't expect me to drive 18s for less money than what pothead pizza delivery drivers make. Otherwise we might organize. Sign petitions and stage a nationwide strike or sumthin. LOL

    I did but I've changed my mind after talking to a few drivers. I asked my uncle about it and he said its not the same as it used to be. Walmarts a great company but there are certain thing I don't care for about them.
