    rolling through hell
    0
    Scrolling through my facebook today I noticed this that had been shared on a page. It's an artical from some magazine don't know which one written by some guy in PA. Appearntly he's a company driver at least I would hope so, probably works for some big mega carrier, at least from what I've read in the artical. It's sickening to me that this idiot and yes I will call him an idiot would say this about us hard working small business truckers. He never has to worry about calling brokers to get paid, getting docked for delievering late, finding his loads, or anything of that sort. Sad thing his statement about sever truck crashes are show his idiocricy especially if you look at the facts when it comes to Werner, Swift, CRE, etc, etc. I find this horribly pathetic as just today I passed a swift truck on HWY 136 east that had broke down, no 4 ways, and he had all of 1 reflective triangle out. So OWNER OPERATORS are unsafe but that COMPANY DRIVER was either too lazy or too stupid to put out 3 reflective triangles and do it properly, and if he didn't have 3 triangles why the hell did he leave in the first place? Ugh people like this guy make me wonder. I've attached the artical for everybody to read.

    utterly revolting

    he sits being an obedient brick in the wall and castigating those who are striving NOT to be under the thumb of corporate america

    i see the same sentiments expressed here, serfs bragging about their servitude

    sad

    True notice the companies I named though. I haven't seen very many good drivers at those companies I'm sure there are the exceptions but for the most part the drivers at these companies are not very professional...or safe. And the swift driver from today was just plain ridiculous I will give him credit though AT LEAST he pulled into the turn lane instead of sitting in the left lane. Although I was still not impressed with his emergency road side stop...well on road stop is actually what it was won't fault him for that either no shoulder and he would've sank if he'd pulled off or rolled it.

    I have seen way more un professional company drivers then o/o. Think what are you more likely to see in a wreck or off in the ditch a jb, swift, or werener truck or a o/o hauling a bull rack or lowboy? How many barely english speaking o/o are out there vs company? It also seems like the article author is jealous because he is probaly govnered to 63 and can't run with a large car.

    Be careful naming the barely english speaking o/o's there are actually a lot more out there than you think. I have actually read ad's on craigslist that said I'm selling my truck and trailer to go back to my own country.

    I smile when I see the garbage here. I am an O/O and that's how I make my way. I'm a White New Mexican.
    born in that state on the way to Cali. So when does someone's place of birth have to do with how they can drive? I got to Texas as fast as I could.
