    Whats really funny to look at is the top 25 companies are the ones responsible for nearly 60% of the trucking industries fatalities,however they are the ones also lobbying for the ELDs and EOBRs, looks to me like the rest of us are being held accountable for Big Bros inept ability to properly train there drivers in those fast and speedy CDL minimal training schools.

    i imagine if you could use the title from the older truck its feasible, same color though cause the paint code is in all VIN #s, im sure someone will do this but youd also have to change title,registration and a few other things

    Trucks get repainted every day.....

    And it's never been about safety. The ATA has been crying for years to "level the playing field". Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna keep doing the deal in my '95.
     
    7-UP and Al. Roper Thank this.

    I'd probably get to looking for a 99 or older now before the prices triple.

    not hard to manage the clock. Tuesday unload 554 miles, Wed drop and hook 586 miles and drove 609 today only stopped because I got to our service center I wanted to be at with an hour of drive time left.

    Yes, but your a van driver with preplans. You don't book your own freight or take 3 or 6 hours at a plant to load your liquids into a tank. You're irrelevant.
     
    NWAF, DUNE-T, Arkansas and 5 others Thank this.

    I think I am pretty relavant, I pre plan most of my routes instead of a computer route. Book your freight same as you did off duty. You have me on he tank. You are irrelevant and I know how to work it.
