    How's this for irony, I had a Prime driver yell at me over the radio for driving too slow. Speed limit was 50. I was doing 53. Most trucks fly through that stretch at 60-65. Prime decided to give me some crap.

    Of course this was 10 min. from the barn. I'm on this road every day, and I know there is a trooper on every ramp. It's a turkey shoot. After the 5th pulled over truck, I invited Prime to pull out and pass but he decided he didn't mind running behind me after all.

    There are times when I don't mind cruising, but then again... I like being able to pass whenever needed (i.e. Limited passes or minutes able to pass blows)

    Being monitored is for infant children and some adults with helmets.

    Um, more like 6mpg. I pull freight at an average rate of $2.65/mi or 80% ($3+/mi)of freight bill @ 68-70mph...5 1/4 CAT C15 Long Hood Pete...turn twice as many loads as you at a higher rate per mi weekly. You do the math.

    im just an 30 year old that's living below his means and I'm a proud company driver for Prime. That just one of my savings account when it comes to getting money I been doing it spent 11 years working oil rigs in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico. So don't you think for a second I cant be an operator owner with my own truck and trailer I can pay for. I still have my big 401k that's untouch several savings and checking accounts. Plus I know how to invest United States made up like 20% of the economy with that being said I invest overseas big owner operator.

    O/P lacks integrity. Validates my original post in his other thread...another steering wheel holder, adding to the decline of this industry.

    I'm 10-10...we gone.
