    .... Yes our laws are most certainly regulated
    ....while our wages have been deregulated
    " US drivers get hit on both flanks"
    We got the laws on one side ready to nip us on the butt
    And
    We have our industrial worth and value going out to the lowest bid
    I know this is how do business these days we call good evil and evil good

    .... If we wanted to make safer highways then I suppose we wouldn't make the drivers of death machines a "bad joke "

    Wait.. What?

    LOL $125,000 @ 25 cpm you'd have to turn 500,000 miles a year. Or 9000+ per week.

    Oh my God there is no way eight people didn't see through that line of ########. Even if you weren't versed in the ways of trucking simple math could tell you that the recruiter was full of ####.

    LOL this just made my morning.

    I try and make it a habit to never judge a driver by the company but I can't help it with England. Everytime I see one beside me at the fuel island I just want to ask why. Why out of all the companies out there did you pick this one? Then I think maybe this guy isn't too sharp. I know it's unfair to judge but I just can't help it.

    I actually asked him if there were enough legal hours in a year to make 100k at 25cpm. Because my math said there wasn't

    And to be fair. There were alot of stupid mother####ers there

    Please let's go back to a regulated industry.
    Permit book as thick as a phone book. A bingo card with all the stamps. 2 or 3 license plates. Side of your truck looking like a nascar car with all the fuel stickers for different states. All which expire on different dates.
    Fueling in every state and just buying enough to get across it. Stopping at scales and paying taxes on fuel for bringing furl you didn't burn in previous state.
    The company you work for has "RIGHTS" to certain lanes. As an example if your company has the lane from Atlanta to Dallas that's all you can run. Or
    you could trip lease which would require to run under the brokers authority. Which would require to cover up all company markings on your truck and put the brokers on it.
    regulation had nothing to do with who was hired as drivers.
    I'll keep deregulation
